How about the good stories, and I'd bet there's plenty out there as well? 
IMHO< it doesn't sound fair just to solicit the bad (and, no, I don't work
for the Postal Service).  

But if your friend just wants horror stories, I'm a stamp collector and do
I have some!  There's those Postal Service "killer bars" that turn me from
my normal MNH-orientation to the terrible "U" word.  And, have you ever
been to a post office?  There's selvage everwhere.  I swear, in my post
office I can't even get to the stamps for the selvage!  And then if I try
to buy a sheet of stamps and my window clerk usually makes some comment
about how these sheets are really a pane.  Yes sir, those guys give
philately a bad name. ;-)
