If You Needed Another Reason to Dislike Park Slope Mothers…
April 17, 2008 – 9:07 amLast week, I had to drop a few things off at the Post Office. I just happened to be in Park Slope, where, just a few days before tax day, only one window was open at the post office on a Saturday afternoon. Aside from the inefficiency, the 45 minutes in line gave me plenty of time to let my eyes wander.
Naturally, the Post Office prohibits conduct that you’d expect it to prohibit. Namely, dogs, bikes, and skates.
I can totally picture some stupid woman trying to bring her dog into the post office, stashed away in her carry-all bag. As for bikes, this post office is barely big enough for two people to stand side-by-side, let alone bring a bike into the place. But seriously, when was the last time you saw someone try to rollerblade into the post office?
Park Slope, however, is a unique beast. And given the swarms of children and blasé parents, it’s no surprise that in this particular post office, another sign was added directly below.
Those damn kids and their razor scooters!

Those look like ice skates, not rollerblades. They’re probably concerned about ice stakes.

Man, you have no idea. It starts with one, and before you know it the neighborhood is covered with them. It’s dangerous living in The Slope!

What about Segways? Are those transpotory abortions allowed?

It is now my life’s goal to roller blade in a post office.

Chris- Is it creepy to know that Keith knows where you live?

Keith–There’s an even closer one on 14th between A and First…

Annie in MN: It’s creepier to know that StuyGirl was even more accurate.

ANNIE IN MN: i don’t know exactly, but based on previous entries, he’s somewhere about a block from me.

Don’t worry, Chris–I know what block you’re on, but not in which apartment, so the stalking can’t get out of control.
