So Netflix is a pretty good service. For $22/month, you can have 3 dvds rented at any one point and there are no late fees. It's "unlimited rentals" but realistically, it takes a few days for the dvds to get to your house (and another day or two to go back) so not really. Still, it's essentially a lot better than going to your local blockbuster's. And their selection is pretty darn decent. However efficient Netflix is though, there's a bottleneck, a weakness, a flaw: the mailman (or mail person, if you must, so hereafter mailman=mailentity, you decide the race, gender, and number of testicles)

See, normally, at least from my experience, the mail comes at approximately the same time each day, give or take at most an hour. The mailman runs along a certain route, delivering mail and some variation in delivery speed is to be expected. But if the mailman shirks his duties, then Netflix efficiency also goes down, through no fault of Netflix. You may have a wonderful mailman. Your movies and mail may come on time. Mine? My mailman delivers at 1PM on some days, 6pm other days, and others days at NEVER!!! He just doesn't show up! I bet he's at home, watching porn, going "HA! Those people with mail can just suck it, like the person on screen is doing right now! OH YEAH!"

How do I know this? Because the mail in the outgoing mailbox gets taken by the mailman if he comes and sometimes, the outgoing mail just sits there for a couple days (I know about his porn habits because he has a webcam broadcasting his living room activities). I think my mailman is a crack whore about to die from the infection in his nose caused by snorting that line too quickly and getting a piece of glass stuck in his left nostril. Actually, that may explain his performance...
