I dread having to go into the Post Office, I have this tendency to wait in line for a few minutes, and walk out when I notice how everything seems to be occurring in slow motion, and every person has special needs transactions.
Anyway, my turn comes up. I plop the Blackstone black bottle on the scale and the clerk looked at it like it was in danger of melting it.
"Is it a medical sample,
Is it hazardous?
Is it urine?"
No it is oil?
"Oyellll?
"Motor oil." I did not want to scare her with the used part.
I did not print up the little sheet to show them it was safe to mail as is, but I had the little piece of paper telling me where to go to print up the paper and handed it to her. I did not get the impression she could read from her response.
No go. Got to buy an envelope put it in that. Had to step out of line and write down the addresses. I did not have to wait in line again as another clerk was more on top of things and got me out of there shortly afterward.
I think mailing the sample was about a hundred times worse an experience than catching it as it poured hot out of my sump.
At least I remembered the Nitrile gloves this time.
