Sorry if this is old,I saw it and it made me lol XD

Lol, I've never read that before, but it did make me laugh

It's a bit silly, but then again.. It's just facial hair o.O It's like like it's gonna put Mr. Postman in danger or his customers O.o

Just as long as it's not a bushman beard that's all over the place.. xDD;

[oro!]

My dad had to shave his beard for a job at a deli, but that makes sense, right? Although, he did look like a totally different person, as my dad is definitely a beard man.
This is so stupid...but I guess it's worth fighting over. Who knows what other stupid things the Japan Post may try to regulate if they get away with this? LOL

It was funny when the postman said "I have taken care to keep my moustache neat and I don't think I make my customers feel uncomfortable." But seriously he shouldn't have to shave his moustache to deliver mail.

I'd say so ^^ Because, it might shed into/onto the meat o.o xDD]It was funny when the postman said "I have taken care to keep my moustache neat and I don't think I make my customers feel uncomfortable." But seriously he shouldn't have to shave his moustache to deliver mail.[/QUOTE]
Lol, I don't even want to think about it, but yeah.. I don't think there's any danger in keeping mustache or even a beard when one's a mail carrier o.O

[Radical Dreamer]

Truly, this is a worthy cause. And I'm only half joking. XDD

Lol, sorry, I just happened to be here.. still XDD

Haha, that made me (still am) lawling XDD

It's not really something to make such a big deal out of, but.. they kinda did that already when they told him to shave the stache ^ ^;

Japan Post, which is undergoing privatisation, is the world's biggest financial institution with some three trillion dollars in savings and life insurance assets.

O.O

[AsianBlossom]

Oh, wait a minute...the "World's biggest?" I just noticed it said that. Eesh... O_o

But still, this is one really interesting story. I could see them telling someone to either cover up or get a tattoo removed, but a moustache? Eh, that's just kind of...weird. Okay, not just "kind of," it's just plain weird.

[Momo-P]

How does wearing a mustache make customers uncomfortable to begin with? I can maybe understand looking like a dang street bum, or perhaps wearing a tiny little Hitler stache, but come on. How many people are seriously going to do that? Let alone in Japan.

[Shilohan ninja]

I agree. POWER TO THE STACHE!

[MBlight]

Hahahaha!!!

Well, I hope this man does not give in! Viva la Mustache!
