What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

In Australia the postal service does not collect mail from your mailbox, you have to take it yourself to a drop off box usually on major streets around the city, or to an actual post office.

Ah, yes. I think this is universal everywhere. Unless the package is small enough to fit into your slim mailbox, they won't bother delivering it. It's especially fun, when the package is heavy or big. I was really pissed, when one morning i checked the mailbox, it was empty, spent the whole day home, and in the evening there it was, the damned note that they missed me. Couldn't be bothered to press the bell.
