Fear, loathing and no common sense on offer at local post office

It's a mad world out there and people have all sorts of phobias.

From ablutophobia (a fear of washing) to zoophobia (a fear of animals), the list is packed, from A to Z, with quirky hang-ups, but it's incomplete - I'm close to adding a new one.

"Post office phobia" (maybe we could call it pophobia) - is my irrational fear of sending parcels through the mail and I seem to be developing a severe case.
