Today, on Canton Patch's Facebook Page, more readers issued the following complaints about the Canton Postal Service:

Rachel Larson Devine: We receive more mail for our neighbors and random people than we do ourselves half the time --- it's ridiculous and there's no excuse. A few envelopes here or there is fine --- but it is almost an everyday occurrence in our neighborhood. It's not hard to read a name and address and actually deliver it to that person. Laziness.

Jennifer Harrington Hurley: I found two letters on the sidewalk in front of my house and delivered them myself to my neighbors. Luckily they were in plain sight but they could have been anywhere.
