Postal Bullets is an American English slang term, used as a noun to describe the ammunition used by postal employees that suddenly become extremely and uncontrollably angry, often to the point of violence and in a workplace environment. The term derives from a series of incidents from 1983 onward in which United States Postal Service (USPS) workers shot and killed managers, fellow workers, and members of the police or general public. Between 1986 and 1997, more than 40 people were killed in at least 20 incidents of workplace rage. Following this series of events, the idiom entered common parlance and has been applied to the bullets used by employees in acts of workplace rage, irrespective of the employer.
Well, maybe not....
