Mailman writes adorable note for the people leaving iced water for him on hot days

Sometimes small kind gestures matter a lot to people. They can make a person's day better or bring a smile to their face. It can also make them feel seen and cared for. In a similar incident, a mailman was touched by people who kept water for them on hot summer days. So to thank them, the person left the sweetest note in return. The customer, u/JJaySmokes took to Reddit to share the incident and wrote, "We leave ice water for our mail carrier on hot days and they left this thank you note."

The pink-colored note read, "Thank you so much for the ice water!" The mailman also drew a cute stick figure of himself inside the truck and wrote, "Me enjoying the water." In the comments section, the person mentioned how they've put up the note on their fridge. People took to the comments section of the post to appreciate the kind gesture as well as to tell their own stories.

They work their a***s off in the Florida heat and deserve to be treated with respect and care. It’s not difficult to be nice to people." u/--Kanye-the-giant-- commented, "I deliver packages all day in Arizona. My dashboard thermometer on my work truck reached 125° today... you're a saint buddy. People like me really appreciate people like you." u/The_salty_nugget shared, "I always leave bottles of water and cans of Pepsi/Fanta and 7up in the fridge in my shed so when a delivery person come by they can grab something for themselves. Last year we had an overgrowth of strawberries in our yard so with the drinks I left tiny cups with some strawberries for them to grab." 

u/bodobop asked, "How do you guys leave the water to still be cold? Maybe I can start doing this for the mail carriers and garbage/recycling men!" The person replied, "We freeze a bottle of water to put out in the morning it's thawed enough to drink after a few hours." u/Help_An_Irishman recounted, "Bless you. My mom puts a little bowl with a bit of frozen water at the bottom out on her stoop every day with a little carton of coconut water. I think you all would get along." u/BetterTumbleWeed746 enquired, "Wow so cute. I guess you know what time they come by every day, so you leave it out around then?"

The person replied, "We usually put a completely frozen one in the morning and it's still partially frozen when they get it." u/slamdoink joked, "Looks exactly like my handwriting and my doodling. I’m not a delivery driver anymore, but this made me very suspicious of wormholes in the time/space continuum." u/AmateurBusinessGoose pointed out how the trucks increase a mail carrier's problems. "Fun fact; while it is on a Chevy truck frame the body (which has no a/c) was built by aircraft manufacturers." Another user noted, "Speaking from experience, the heater does not work well in winter. But yes the inside of the vehicle during summer is 20-30 degrees hotter than it is outside."
