The holidays, as evidenced by the copious amounts of exploding non-hovering hoverboards, are a very trying time. Just ask Russell Crowe. However, one particular group of holiday-stressed laborers usually bear the brunt of the cheerful tomfoolery: postal workers. In the spirit of providing 2015's annual example of this fact, federal court papers quoted by the Associated Press reveal that a New York City area postal worker was so inconsolably inundated with antiquated methods of communication that he decided to take some downright Newman-esque measures.

The Queens mailman reportedly purchased "three white garbage bags," then promptly stuffed them with roughly a thousand pieces of mail before gifting them to the wonderful world of trash. The mail-stuffed bags were discovered a few days later, the New York Post confirms.

Though dude has now been charged with "unlawfully delaying and destroying the mail," one can't help but hope he's discovered the true meaning of the season: shirking all responsibilities in an act of Festivus-inspired protest.
