From 2010-2012 I was the paperboy of the town.
It was technically my parents job, but they delegated so I could get some sweet sweet allowance.
Ask away
What is the weirdest thing you saw during your deliveries?
This isn't totally obscene but the weirdest thing I saw is the attitudes of the old people. They expect their free paper to go into their mailbox a certain way. If you don't listen they will wait outside their mailbox until you come by to give you a telling off.
IIRC some old lady had an average mailbox like this. She didn't want the paper folded in half to go into the bottom half. She wanted it as a perfect circle in the half round bit. She ended up blocking off the bottom slot with rocks just so you could only put it into the top. That's easily one of the funniest/weirdest stories I have doing it.
Also did you have to get up real early?
Personally no. My parents did sometimes just to tackle the rural areas because you can get away with driving wildly when nobody is around. It makes it easy for swinging around and doing uey's without having to deal with traffic. We were basically covering most of the town + a bit out of it from Friday afternoon to Monday morning. It's not a lot of money but you do meet some good people and it's better than being a shut-in over the weekends.

There really is no good way to write that word, is there?

That old lady was probably really lonely so that's why she was obsessed with it, didn't have any power besides that. I feel bad for her.

One of my math professors in college saw an elephant.
