Re: The mailman on shabbos- wouldn’t it be better to take the mail than to embarrass the mailman, since embarrassment is an issur d’oraita, and making a chillul hashem is a serious concern?
What frustrates me is when it rains on shabbos and nobody holds by the Hatam Sofer on umbrellas, but that doesn’t matter, since I don’t use the eruv, anyways. Same is like finding money on the ground on shabbos and yom tov.
