It took me a loooong time to realize that you had to go to the post office to mail a letter. I had always thought you just had to leave anything you wanted to mail in your mailbox and the mailman would pick it up for you at the same time he dropped off your new mail.

- I thought when i was a kid, that all mailboxes had tubes that brought your mail to the person u sent it to.— Andrew
- When my sister told one of my brothers her e-mail address, he thought to spell out “at” instead of typing “@”.— EJ - no longer computer illiterate!
