An American mailman refused to believe this could possibly have happened and it’s today’s funniest, most exasperating thing

It all started when author and all-round Twitter must-follow James Felton shared a picture of the very odd place this package of magnets ended up.

And it prompted lots of funny and most agreeable replies.

But it also prompted a little bit of confusion among some people.

But…isn’t that…a wooden door?

woah there einstein, slow down with the science talk

— James Felton (@JimMFelton) April 8, 2024

And more than a little bit confusion in this person, a mailman from the US who was (at best) sceptical and (at worst) just plain rude. Rude we tell you!

And it really did run and run. And run.

As many people from the UK have pointed out, you are just wrong. This is just how we use letterboxes. It’s a hole in your door to shove letters and parcels through. It’s possible to just not double down and admit that.
