who are out there for several hours every day just to get our mail and packages delivered to us. If you're thinking about thanking your local mailman for their hard work this summer, take a page from an actual USPS mail carrier, who has opened up about the greatest summer gift you can give them.Over on TikTok, user @thatpostaldad posts videos about his life as a USPS worker in Bakersfield, California.
from July 1, he revealed one of the greatest gifts mail carriers can receive during the hot summer: frozen water bottles.As the carrier explained, the temperature was 110 degrees outside that day while he was delivering the mail. When he was greeted with an icy bottle of water inside a customer's mailbox, he poured it all over himself for some relief from the heat.
"It's officially 'frozen water bottle in the mailbox' season! Thank you to everyone who does this, we appreciate you," he wrote in the caption. His video now has over 70,000 likes and hundreds of comments, with several users saying they're going to start doing the same for their local carriers.For more up-to-date information, sign up for our daily newsletterOther carriers chimed in as well, adding that sprinklers in people's yards are another pleasant sight during their summer delivery routes.
Frozen water bottles and sprinklers aren't just silly little surprises, however. They could make all the difference for your mail carrier during the extreme heat—especially given the potentially serious health consequences of summer mail delivery. One Postal Service worker died during his route this summer, presumably as a result of the heat.
