The Digest would totes love this!

Sweet, cute little story for the readership.

I don't believe it for a red, red hot West Chester second.

The gullible are always gullible!

@Kachina624 I agree although I think it was performance anxiety. When you have never really done it and are doing something for the first time, good for them for asking, especially for a business communication.

So this means they have also never seen a piece of mail. Grandma never sent them a birthday card, etc. Scary that they are managers.

is this a joke ? are you really saying they didn't know how to address and mail a envelope ? 30 yr olds ? Just want to make sure I read correctly. Thanks

@Goodie2shoes I don't doubt her story for one second. We had an employee in his late 20's who had no clue how to address an envelope. Even after I showed him, he still did it wrong.

Also, I go to the post office 5 times a week for my job. I can not believe some of the dumb questions that people ask. I remember one guy went up to the clerk to ask how to mail clothes. The clerk, whom I know well, started by saying, slowly, "Get a box." LOL. I have heard other people ask if they can write the ship to address directly on the box they are mailing. I truly believe there is no such thing as a dumb question. But, people who ask can be dumb, momentarily anyway.

@Laura14. I hate to say this but it appears you company hires some idiots. You'd think they'd pick up up a little knowledge simply by observing mail they receive at home as well as at work.

@Kachina624 I would not call them idiots. That is a bit unfair.

@Wsmom Grandma undoubtedly sent them a birthday card but you can bet they never sent her a "thank you" note.

@Puppy Lips. I would and did. Couldn't figure out how to address an envelope? That's pathetic.

What are they teaching in school, isn't there still a LIFE skills course

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

When we rented an apartment a few years ago, the leasing agent was impressed we knew how to write out a check. He said the younger people have no clue. So as far fetched as it sounds, I believe the OP. I'm surprised they even know how to write (print??) since everything is done with their thumb on their phone--LOL!!!!

Oh, I believe it! My husbands niece came to visit recently; early 20's. I have a large clock with hour, minute, and second hands, on the living room wall and she cannot tell time that way, never had a watch; she had to look at her cell phone. She does not know how to write a check. The only phone she knows how to use is a cell phone. Days before she was here was the first time she'd ever seen a mercury thermometer.
