Admit it: you’ve frantically peered outside your window nonstop or paced around the mailbox at least once in your life, waiting for that one special package or letter.

But it didn’t come.

Instead, your mailbox was stuffed with bills, court documents, junk mail, and other unwanted crap. “Maybe I’ll actually get something good tomorrow,” you may have sighed.

But tomorrow was another disappointment, and you found yourself wondering why so many people are fighting to save the post office. Hey, go easy on postal workers. USPS has no control over whether you get bad mail like the 10 things listed below.

In no particular order, here are the worst things you can find in your mailbox.

Bills

When you woke up, you were whistling and happily planning a fun-filled weekend.

Then you received a stack of unpaid bills in the mailbox. Oops — you forgot all about that doctor’s visit. And that electric bill. Okay, and maybe your car note, too.

So much for that fun weekend that you had in mind. Looks like you’ll be spending it at home with some Ramen noodles and store-brand soda. Not that I have anything against Dr. Thunder, just for the record.
