Bed Bugs Stop Mail Delivery to Detroit Apartment Complex

There is an obvious joke that you can't escape and that the Detroit News was quick to point out:

Rain, sleet, and snow can't stop postal carriers from completing their rounds -- but the fear of bedbugs has halted mail delivery to a senior citizen high-rise apartment building.

Not getting mail can be a problem, especially when many residents are looking for those Social Security checks which arrive around the first of the month.

One additional factor involved -- the carrier who refused to deliver the mail is pregnant and seemed to be concerned over the chemicals being used to de-bug the building.

There is hope. Mail delivery is now said to resume by Friday.
