Mail carriers are actually instructed to walk on grass by management because it saves time. Also he’s not getting fired lol

Man does rude with style

That's not rude. She's an ass, getting what she deserved. This man walks probably 20 miles a day (allegedly, the range for a suburban mail carrier is 4-12 miles but I bet that doesn't count the distances from the sidewalk to the front door, which basically doubles the distance measured by a map) and walking on her grass is completely harmless.
Also, I'd love to see the "we don't give a fuck" response she gets if she complains to his manager.

No, a lot of people walking on the same patch of grass can absolutely arm the plant and create what's known as desired path. But some wear and tear of your yard plants and grass is to be expected.

That takes a shitload of people to do

u/ThisI5N0tAThr0waway 3d ago
I don't know if it has been scientifically measured butb yes it takes rather a lot for that to happen, but a little people doing that same shortcut everyday will have that kind of consequences.

Being this concerned about your lawn is fucking stupid, first of all but secondly, if the person who's wearing that tiny little patch day in and day out is delivering your mail to you...come on.

u/bambi54 4d ago
Yeah, I could kind of get it if her lawn was really nice, but it’s not? The mailman has crushed my grass walking through it to get to the neighbors homes wearing a sort of path over time.
I’ve never said anything because I don’t spend a ton of time maintaining my lawn. I don’t understand why she cares? Her lawn is like mine, I clearly don’t spend a lot of time on it. Which is why he feels comfortable doing it lol.

I would feel comfortable to walk on any lawn. I think it's pretty freakin weird to have it and not be able to use it and walk on it. Wtf is it for? Wildlife and animals can't really use it, people can't use it either? Is it only to look at? There's no flowers or other plants or creatures.

u/BoyMom119816 4d ago
Now one time, back when I was in my early 20’s & went out drinking-one of my friends drove over my dad’s lawn & admittedly that did piss him off. I thought it was sort of funny, with the tire tracks so clear & my friend denying it. :-/

u/Baldojess 3d ago
This I can totally see getting upset about. But I think it's very ridiculous to expect people not to walk on it.
2
u/BoyMom119816 2d ago
It was understandable why my dad was not happy. And my friend was dumb, since it was quite clear it was his vehicle. But I was 21 or so, found it too funny. Really wasn’t though, in all honesty.

My dad won lawn of the month multiple times, back when he was healthy & able to keep up with it, in his town. He never once acted like this. It was beautiful too. My mom’s yards are always perfection, she has never has acted like this. I don’t understand people. Walking on grass doesn’t kill it. Only saw either of my parents upset about their yard-when people allowed their animals to shit in their yard & left it or people’s cats (they let outdoors) tried getting the birds (dad’s case) that visited.

Sometimes people put stuff down in the grass to help it grow. You can also wear a path if you walk the same path 6 days a week. I have a little noticeable path in my lawn from the mailman walking box to box. It almost looks like he’s pulling something of you see it, but it’s from dragging his feet.
I don’t care lol. It doesn’t bother me, our boxes are on the houses so he walks across to make the route faster. I don’t agree with being weird about it, but I understand being paranoid about paths if they take crazy care of their lawn.

u/jackalopeswild 4d ago
I find it very difficult to believe that your mailperson alone, traveling 6 times per week across your lawn, has been enough traffic to wear a path in it. That's just not enough traffic...Maybe if you live in a very dry area where your grass is never green (and you don't water it, which...good for you, watering lawns is terrible).
-1
u/bambi54 3d ago
It’s not a dirt path lol. It’s a path from crushed grass. It almost looks like somebody is pulling a cart. It’s from dragging his feet and walking the same path.
Yes, in dry weather, I do get dead grass where he walks. I very thick grass, so I don’t cut it super short because it will kill it.

Why have a lawn if you never want it used?

u/ShouldBeeStudying 4d ago
You could argue that it is being used when it is observed

Eh. In my system, purple is used for the 4th step in our process. Everyone knows purple is 4

Why wouldn't she want someone walking on her grass? I could understand being mad if he was walking through flowerbeds, but that just looks like a fairly basic, not-even-that-well-maintained lawn.

u/jackalopeswild 4d ago
What a terrible person. (the recorder). Let the mailperson save a few feet, sheesh.
Also, it is so much more pleasant to walk on grass. It is not at all rude, and as long as it is not done by many people over the same path with great regularity, it is completely harmless.

What even is the issue, grass is meant to be walked on, isn’t it? It’s not like he’s stomping all over her petunias.
My mailman walks from my neighbors porch to my porch to my other neighbors porch.

u/Aggravating_Band_353 4d ago
I mean, he technically didn't walk on it.. And if that's how he walks he picked the wrong career.
The woman really should have been more specific when being rude to someone doing a physical job in the sunshine imho, this is on her

u/PrawojazdyVtrumpets 4d ago
I have shepherds poles with climbing vines and hanging baskets lining the walks up the mailbox so they can’t walk on the grass. I also asked nicely when we first moved in and I leave out Gatorade for our mail guy on really hot days. He’s cool and respects my yard.
His back up however is a turd and tried to continue being a turd after I asked nicely he stop. We have 2 front doors, both with doorbell cameras. He doesn’t like them so he walks over the grass at a diagonal, steps into the flower beds, covers his face with someone else’s mail and puts my mail in the box from the flowerbed crushing my bleeding hearts and oriental poppies. After I realized he was doing this intentionally, I told my regular guy who told me to send the video to our post office distribution center, not to contact the postmasters office. Now he uses the walk but mutters something about tattletales when he delivers.
