If you want to find weird situations, come to Belgium. This street is in one province on one side, and in another on the other side, so obviously also different postal codes: https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=18/51.024397/4.731540 It even has slightly different names: Langstraat/Langestraat. And if you follow it, or look at the houses on it, it gets weirder and weirder. Must be a nightmare to get a package or a pizza delivered there. Back in the day there were associatedStreet relations. For some reason they weren't liked, to state it mildly, but that's where I added the postal code for these different sides + the houses.
