A little drama in the post office

I have witnessed my share of freak outs: it usually involves people having too much to drink or some sort of a language barrier, but today was a new one for me. I am patiently waiting in line to mail a package when this lady starts to yell very loudly, "I want to see your supervisor, I do pick up my mail!" Based on the one sided conversation I heard, it appears that the post office has stopped delivering to their address because the mailbox is always full and they are telling this woman that she must go to the post office to pick up her mail. She proceeds to call someone on the phone and get crazy. Then the swearing begins and she is thrown out of the post office. Yes, escorted out and told that she is in a federal building and this is a federal offense. It was quite entertaining. What was not entertaining was her young child (about 6 or 7 years old) cowering behind her, clearly embarrassed. So, that was my excitement for the day and a woman who was very under dressed at the grocery store. I am sure you can draw conclusions--let's just say there was nothing left to the imagination and she should have been escorted out.
