Straight to the Point: Why Does the Mailman Eat Lunch in My Foyer?

Mail carrier

A couple months ago, I was taking a staycation day and went for a run. When I came back, the mailman was standing in my apartment foyer eating a sandwich. The next week, I came back from a run, and the same mailman was there again. He wasn’t eating a sandwich, but he was listening to his iPod. Which leads me to a couple questions:

  1. Why was he listening to an iPod in 2017 (it was December, so no need to remind me that it’s 2018)?
  2. Why does he take his lunch breaks in my foyer, which is not very pleasant and rather chilly in the winter?
  3. Is this legal?

I’m writing about this now because I told my roommate about it the other day, and she was home today and told me she saw him eating in downstairs, too.

I’m not saying I care exactly, because he doesn’t seem violent, but it doesn’t seem like something he should be doing. It also makes me want to become friends with my neighbors, so we can talk about him. Has that ship sailed after living there for 2.5 years?
