Canada Post says dog attacks on mail carriers have increased during pandemic:

We have seen an increase this year of incidents across the country," the Crown corporation said in an email to CTVNews.ca.

According to Canada Post, around 41 per cent of households in Canada have dogs. Postal service workers come into contact with pets when they drop off mail, and with everyone at home during the pandemic, the chances of them coming face-to-face with a dog is even greater than usual.

[...] Canada Post is asking homeowners not to open their doors during mail delivery, as this not only can make physical distancing harder, but can allow a dog to rush outside at an unsuspecting mail carrier. They are reminding the public to wait until a postal service worker has left to go pick up the mail or packages left on the doorstep.

    And pick up after them, GODDAM IGNORANT PEOPLE!

    hmm, well this is slightly embarrassing, but I'd be remiss if I didn't correct you here. See that massive turd you found in your lawn, yeah that was NOT from the dog. When I was walking past your house I had to take a massive shit, and when you gotta go, well ya gotta go! Listen, if I had some TP or a plastic bag I would have gladly picked it up, but I didn't, so please blame me instead of the dog. On the bright side, at least you should now have a bad memory of me.

    Sincerely,

    Mr. Poopybutthole
