  1. I think it's more than just a coincidence that people use the term "to go postal" in English. There's something unique to working at the post office in the USA or Canada. In Canada, I don't know how exactly it is now, but for the longest time it was a job in which workers got paid quite a bit of money compared to the easiness of the job. The union is strong because everybody wants their mail. As soon as conditions aren't met, workers can just go on strike. Everybody gets pissed off when their mail isn't delivered, so demand the workers go back. The workers eventually get what they and their union want. I think it gives workers a sense of entitlement. My sister's attitude completely changed once she started a regular job at the post office. She used to be really kind, but after starting work at the post office, she got really macho, vulgar, and entitled. Like this woman, she held grudges. Suddenly everything was our parents' fault, the government's fault, everyone else's fault. I miss my pre-post office sister. We used to be able to talk about our mom, but she made it clear that was not a topic to bring up with her. She'd go into some weird defensive mode. Thankfully she has never shown any violent tendencies and she has become calmer lately, after a new man in her life and quitting the post office. I really do think though that that particular job, at least in Canada and the USA, isn't conducive to good mental health, at least for some people.

  3. I think that's the problem. Postal workers get so entitled. They know they won't get fired, and they get used to making good money for relatively mindless work.
