That’s not “stupidly unrealistic though”. Because the unrealistic part (everybody waiting together in the waiting room) actually plays a huge part in the plot moving forward. That’s just bad writing.
Going the the post office on a sunday is something that can be easily tweaked without changing the rest of the plot.
I’m saying that OP’s post is about unrealistic movie details that don’t really affect the plot. Whereas root comment’s example does significantly affect the plot.
But it’s still stupidly unbelievable though, whether or not the plot hinge on this shouldn’t matter imo. But i guess it’s not minute enough in this case.

A shit plot is not better…?

Exactly right. If the plot depends on people making bad decisions that no one would ever make, its bad plot!
