The U.S. Postal Service
If the U.S. Postal Service weren't, you know, the U.S. Postal Service.
Behold some tweets illustrating its customer service is often just the opposite of timely, accessible and congenial.
@USPS is not a pleasant place to be. When asking a question about lost mail, I don't need to have my head bitten off for the answer.

The Passport office at USPS decided they were open too often and providing wayyy to many services so they cut the hours back to 9am to 2pm

@AmazonHelp is awesome! Calling the post office for me to find out what happened to my lost package. Way to show USPS how real biz is done

I love the USPS. An eBay purchase from California has went to five different states and is now somewhere in Michgan's upper peninsula. What?

@USPS on 3 separate occasions with no solution. Just keep getting directed in circles
