A 61-year-old postman failed to deliver thousands of postal items that he kept at his home instead, police said Thursday.

A total of about 24,000 undelivered items were found in the man's home in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, said the police, who sent his case to prosecutors.

"It was too much of a bother to deliver them," the man, whose identity has been withheld, was quoted by the police as telling investigators.

The papers sent to prosecutors specifically refer to 1,002 deliveries the man allegedly hid at his home and elsewhere between February 2017 and November last year.

A branch in Yokohama of Japan Post Co. said the man worked in charge of delivery but began hiding mails in 2003. He retired but was re-employed at Seya Post Office in Yokohama when the incident came to light during an internal check on Nov. 20 last year.

The man admitted to the allegation and Japan Post lodged a criminal complaint with the Kanagawa prefectural police on Jan. 14.

"We discovered them late as the cache was at his home, which is beyond the confines of an internal inspection," a branch spokesman said.

"We'll have talks with the police on the undelivered items and offer apologies to the senders and receivers as we deliver them," he said.

The company will provide workers with thorough instructions and do its best to prevent a recurrence, according to the spokesman.

When "you had one job" but you just couldn't be fucked to do it.

:story: Absolutely based!
 
As somebody who regularly sends and orders hundreds of dollars worth of stuff a month, seeing these stories of postmen taking packages infuriates me. It seems like every news outlet has a story like this at least once a month as well.
 
That's the kind of I don't give a goddamn greasy hot shit attitude that only being near the end of one's life can bring.

In a bizarre way, I can respect that sort of candor.
 
So that's where all of my expensive anime waifu figurines went. To some senile idiot boomer who can't even be bothered to do what he's paid to do in the first place.

And leftists believe that people deserve to be fired over a stupid joke.

I don't order things that often myself but this problem has occurred with a good number of people, including myself. No wonder brick and mortar stores haven't been phased out yet.
 
This is actually pretty common or sometimes mailmen dump letters into vacant houses or throw them back into the mail boxes to go through the system again. Some postal services now have machines that leave brands on the letters that can only be seen under UV lights to track how many times the letters have gone through the system
 
This isn't a rare occurrence.

Like how once a year you get that story about the fat guy so fat he can't get out of bed and the paramedics have to knock out a wall and use a tow truck to get him to hospital?

Well, similarly, once a year, there's the story about the old mailman who retires/dies, and when they go to his house, it's stuffed with undelivered stuff he just took home over the course of his career.
 
“So the mail that doesn’t look important? I burn that. If it’s important they’ll send it again. The important looking mail? I actually burn that too most of the time.”

So nobody noticed, including family, that he was piling up tons of mail?

Bigger question.. why keep this stuff anyway. Throw it in the garbage lol.

Destroying or throwing mail in the trash would actually get a mailman in more trouble than just hoarding it in their house. A good union rep. Would probably argue that the mail man was suffering from depression or something like that and he'd get off with a paid suspension once they agreed to get treatment
 
I didn't even need to read the article to realize that this man was asian.

Twice this has happened to me where the mail carrier just won't bring me my stuff and both times they were asian mailmen who couldn't be arsed to haul my packages up the steps. One package took more than 50 days to find after he failed to deliver it.
