Postmen/mail men and short

Does any one know why the postmen/mail men always wear shorts even when it rains or snows?

Ours wears a big thick waterproof jacket and shorts and marches through the snow?

Is it just a macho man thing?

Or do they not supply uniform trousers that fit?

    It's because they walk around all day and like to show off their bulky calves and quadriceps.

    The mailman that comes to my office every day always wears shorts, too. Rain or shine. I've wondered about that.




    Ok, ok, fine. I've lost sleep over it. WHY?!

    USPS can't afford long pants, even with all of the postage price hikes...?

    True story. All that walking gives them strong legs. They're proud.

    But do they go out after work in the shorts or is it just a parade when they deliver the mail?

    Gonna check out his bulky calves tomorrow ...maybe I can ask him to pose while I take a pic to post on here?

    It's all about the balls. I should know, I'm a mailman.

    I'm a part time postman...


    Just general preference in my office, also because to some especially during summer, it gets really, really hot and sweaty when your walking round 4 hours in the sun...

    During Winter, idk, people in my own office laugh at each other wearing them - guess its more of convenience because the longer trousers do bog down on you when you have a 15kg mail bag!

    (I wear long all year) :drinker:
