Forget “snow nor rain,” this mailman was too lazy to deliver the mail in any weather.
Ignoring his employer’s reliability mantra, a Long Island postal carrier tossed more than a thousand pieces of mail into Dumpsters along his route — just to avoid the nuisance of having to deliver them, authorities said.
Federal agents began monitoring US Postal Service worker Patrick Paskett’s movements earlier this month after Seaford and Massapequa Park residents complained that they weren’t receiving letters and packages, according to a Brooklyn federal court complaint.
Special agent Steven DeMayo tracked Paskett’s movements on March 6 and was stunned to see him chucking a stack of mail into a Massapequa Park trash bin.
The slothful civil servant, 24, was finally confronted by investigators last week and admitted to hurling postage-bearing mail into trash bins about 15 times between December and this month.
“I really don’t want to talk about this with anyone,” Paskett told The Post outside his Massapequa Park home Monday. “It happened. I resigned. I don’t work for them anymore. It’s over.”
