Will the post office deliver a letter that is addressed backwards?
I accidently put the stamp on the left side, and my return address on the right side. Has anyone else done this? Will the Post office still deliver it?

yes, the postage stamp(s) only needs to be affixed to the envelope somewhere along with the name and delivery address on it. Return addresses aren't required.
It may take longer to get delivered because their automated machinery will kick it out and an employee will have to hand cancel the stamp.

Mate, you've warped the fabric of space/time by doing that. So either you will travel backwards through time, and when you go to address the letter again you can do it the right way, and repair the damage you've done, or even worse, you have created a black hole the size of a grape at the post office, and all wrongly addressed mail will get sucked into it.
You fool, you've doomed us all!

you will discover that this would certainly fee you greater and take you approximately a minimum of six weeks longer than widely used postage. the object will sit down interior the sorting place of work that serves the main significant address for as much as 3 weeks. the persons at this address will acquire a card asking them to bypass right down to the sorting place of work to collect the object, and pay the postage, plus a £a million penalty. If that individual would not come down and assemble it interior the distributed time, its despatched to the sorting place of work closest to the return address, and an identical applies. If no one collects it and could pay the quantity, its despatched to the nationwide Returns Centre in Belfast, the place it's going to be destroyed.

I think they would. My mother is every postal workers nightmare lol....she generally tapes things to DEATH so theres no place to even write an address without it rubbing off, etc.
But so far, she hasn't had anything returned (well, except for the times she forgets to put a stamp on lol)
