A story from my years as being an operator. Oh yes, there are stories I can tell.
One time a customer called in and was frantic. "Help, I need the number of the Post Office," says the customer after introductory pleasantries. "I just found out that when I went to my bank I had my mail in my hands. I thought I was holding my check book with some checks to deposit. I must have thrown my check book and checks in the mail box." I said, "Yes, ma'am I'll get you that number right away."
I always try to learn from my past customers. So when I go to the Post Office or Post Box, I always make sure only mail is in my hands. No keys, check book, money or any other thing. I only hold mail in my hands when I put it in the box. This is not the time to multitask.
Maybe I'll come up with more operator stories in the future.

I did something very similar to this. I threw my keys in the mail box with my mail. Thank goodness I had spare keys. And just like you said, "I only hold mail in my hands when I put it in the box." Lesson learned...the hard way! :)

Yes, I had the ones with the keys also, but the story with the check book and checks takes the cake. Good for you that you had extra keys.

When I was little I had a hand full of popcorn and another of potato bugs. Guess which one went into my mouth? :/

It happens more times than you think with my customers over the years. Only this one took the cake with those checks and checkbook thrown in the mail box. I have to consciously put my keys in my pocket and look at my mail and I say, Just mail in my hands.
