(CNN) -- Hundreds of pieces of mail fluttered onto interstates in eastern Missouri Sunday after the back door of a contractor's semi carrying mail for the U.S. Postal Service popped open.You know what I want to know? Why the hell didn't anyone try to warn the driver or call the police? 70 miles is an awfully long time for a truck to be driving down a major highway with the back deck wide open, and it's rather disturbing that no one phoned it in. Now, maybe this happened early Sunday morning while traffic was light and it was dark out, but it's still pretty odd that not a single person noticed an 18-wheeler rolling down the highway with the rear door open and mail fluttering out.The mail was scattered along 70 miles of highway near St. Louis, according to Postal Inspector Dan Taylor, who said the tractor trailer was carrying mostly statements and bills bound for the West Coast. He added that he didn't think any personal mail was lost.
Then again, people are generally pretty damn oblivious, so...
That is all.

"If you see something, say something"
The current context of the TSA and other big brother agencies using this phrase has tainted it, but its true.
A friendly honk of the horn shouldn't be "hey asshole", it should be "hey buddy, your door is open and your blinker is on".
A white van in your neighbors driveway at oh-dark-fourtyfive is not "none of your buisness", its fucking suspicious. Either call it in or stick your nose over and make eye contact and see whats up.
these are the people who we are going to entrust with our healthcare...
Could be why that package I'm expecting is taking so long... I hope not.
Phone it in? To who?
The last time I made a 911 call while traveling on the highway, the operator spent five minutes asking me over and over what county I was in.... while I spent five minutes trying to explain I was on a frigging interstate highway and there were no county signs there. I finally told her to look for the county with all the ambulances scrambling and hung up on her.
