Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

As a non-american, there are many things that are a cultural shock to me. First it's the fact that in America they just leave the packages on the floor for anyone to take. Second is that whole "community" thing where neighbours feel entitled to dictate how people manage their houses.
The whole "leave packages at the door thing" has made it's way to the UK for all but the main post office. It was used in COVID as a way of keeping distance but now it's just for efficiency and I hate it.
Who's responsable if someone steals it?
Hasn't happened to me yet so I have no idea.
They don't even ring the door bell most of the time, they just let their Amazon email notification tell you it's delivered which I don't even notice for awhile.
Theres an entire section of youtube devoted to fucking with people who steal packages. How have you not seen it yet for decades now.
The shipper will have proof they delivered it - they take pictures these days. Beyond that it is the home owner, and the police.
Though if you report a missing package once, or twice, a year. The retailer will often just send your order again for customer support.
So We could just get things for free, hmm?
You can always try.
Damn, that sucks, I wouldn't be able to buy anything online, at least not anything expensive, the risk is too great.
