There's good and bad examples of people everywhere. I'm sorry you had a bad time, but I sincerely doubt if every employee of the postal service is an idiot. There are bad apples and it's good to know to be alert if live animals or eggs are expected, but plenty mail-peoples try very hard to do a good job.
There are good ones. My regular mailman is great (I met him while he was doing his rounds a year ago). He keeps dog treats in his front pocket and gives them to all the dogs on his route, he will come into the garage and talk to me if I am out there and he sees it open. He trades us his fresh grown produce for ours. He like to go into our backyard every once in a while and say hi to the chickens. He goes out of his way to do his job, if we are expecting something he will keep an eye out, he also will grab his cell phone and call the PO and ask them to give him a call as soon as it arrives, so he can bring it right to us - and we are not talking living things like chicks here, another guy takes care of that. He is so good at his job, and he likes what he does. We gave him a tin of sweets at Christmas, and he came by and thanked us with a shared Christmas prayer. So just keep your eye out for the good ones, I am sure there is at least 1 at every post office.
