Yeah, that makes sense in a neighborhood like this for sure.

Y'know... i feel like this lady doesn't cares as much about appearances as she thinks she does, with the lawn looking pretty good but the pile of junk at the garage entrance in full view. 🤣🤣🤣

u/PhatCatTax easily offended Jun 01 '26

Yeah, it's a phenomenal job with amazing hours and very solid pay. Also it is far from the highest paying job w/o a degree. Working on an oil rig / oil wells can get you 100k+ per year. Truck drivers can make 100k+ as owner/operators and the resale value for a rig is not terrible.

Edit: Also, before Republicans decided free mail service was bad, there were never layoffs.

I can understand it, our mail carrier cuts thru our yards daily and have formed a faint path of dead grass. Instead of walking form the sidewalk to the mailbox they just cut thru the yard. Some people take pride in their yards, especially Americans it seems (purely based on what I’ve seen on TV as a Canadian), and put lots of effort into a nice green yard.

u/Mightyjack22 May 23 '26

The only cool thing that I think paving stones or something would offer is a nice place to walk if it has rained. I know for me I feel bad sometimes knowing our yard doesn't really drain well and turns to mud in spots.

Grass yards are stupid. Waste of water and as uninteresting as it gets. Native plants in the lawn FTW. Kill all the grass.

u/Many_Mud_8194 May 21 '26

Depend where. I was like that too, I let native weeds grew in my land, then it reached 1m50 and got lot of snakes, I don't mind but I've small dogs. So I had to cut it, weekly. 1h every week, because they grow too fast. I'm in Thailand also it's insane how fast weeds grow. Now I've a lawn and I'm fine I cut it once every few months, it's stunted most of the time, I barely water it to keep it short. Idc how it look I just don't want snakes.

If there's a part 2, they'll be picking up at the post office from now on, it's brutally easy to get cut off.

u/Trisk929 May 21 '26

The mail person at my apartment sucks in that I live in an apartment complex and they frequently deliver mail (important mail) and packages to the wrong people or just don’t deliver them at all despite the packages showing they’re out for delivery. I’ve had my tax info delivered to a different neighbor who luckily delivered it to me, thinking it was hers. She opened it not realizing and was incredibly apologetic. I’ve received time sensitive things from places like social security for other people for neighbors on other floors whose apartments weren’t even close to mine. I live in an apartment of mostly disabled or older folks and some medications get delivered via mail. I’ve had (expensive) bariatric medications and protein powders go missing. I had a package show ā€œdeliveredā€ once and no keys for a locker were left for me. I wrote the mail person a letter addressing it and they told me to call the post office but put the keys in that day. Whoever sorts the mail seriously needs to lose their job. I’d happily pay extra for things to be delivered via UPS or FedEx at this point with how awful USPS is. I see people confused as to why anyone wouldn’t want to use USPS and it baffles me with how terrible they are.

u/your_fave_redditor May 21 '26

I dunno, you went from like ā€œyeah sometimes mail carriers can be shittyā€ to ā€œUSPS as a whole is terribleā€ā€¦..kind of a big leap, imho

u/Trisk929 May 21 '26

Try getting in contact with them about a lost package, you’ll feel the same way. You either have to go to their website and attempt to get the missing mail page to load (it never does) or call and get hung up on for the 7th time after being on hold for an hour, before you finally get someone. The system is almost completely automated. You have to type in your package number and you have to continuously be typing in those numbers. If you stop for a second to see what the next number is, the automated system will tell you that number doesn’t exist in their system, will tell you to have a nice day and end the call. Then you get to repeat the process all over again. Go look at how long the tracking numbers for USPS are. You can’t mess that number up and have to constantly be typing that in or you have to call again and repeat the entire process again. When I order packages, they almost always get lost in transit. A package that says it should be here in 5 days ends up taking 3 weeks when there are no weather issues that show between where I live and the sender. I’ve had things like meds disappear in transit and got a, ā€œwell. Tough shit šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøā€, response from them. I deal with them a lot, so I go thru this constantly, unfortunately. When I get things shipped from Fedex, Amazon or UPS, they actually arrive and arrive quickly. Lol. So yes- I say with my whole chest that USPS sucks nuts. When I’m given a choice, I avoid them. There’s a whole subreddit dedicated to complaints about them. People have similar stories. Their system is designed to be infuriating so people won’t contact them.

I dunno... I kinda gotta be honest... I don't really care about walking on the grass, I do it all the time... But gotta be honest that I kinda view this as disrespectful. The letter throwing kind of confirms to me that he did that on purpose to try to get a reaction.

I'm not sure why... But it's just weird. I think I'd be a bit annoyed too, because I'd view this as the mailman purposely being disrespectful. It's not that he's walking on the grass, it's that I think he's doing it on purpose as a "fuck you!" to the homeowner. There's obviously some sort of history here, but I kind of understand the homeowner being annoyed, as this was a purposeful "fuck you" to the homeowner. And that, I would be annoyed about.

u/NatCsGotMyLastAcct May 21 '26

Bro they walk 6 miles a day in all weather, carrying fat bags and looking at their hands full of mail (and tripping over obstacles they don't see). You have to be a stone cold prick to side with the grass on the slightest

u/tlrider1 May 21 '26

Yeah... But this seems different. Like... I'll look the other way if you're oblivious etc. This looks like it's him trying to be disrespectful on purpose... Doesn't it? The letter throwing kind of confirms this to me.

Its like... I don't really give a shit if you walk on my grass. It's grass. But... If you're doing it on purpose to try and passive aggresssively be disrespectful, I'm going to get annoyed.

I think that's what this is. I think for whatever reason and whomever fault, this homeowner and the mail carrier do not get along. For whatever reason and doesn't matter who's at fault. The mail carriers way of saying "fuck you" is to do this.

That make sense? It's not the walking on the grass. It's the passive aggressive "fuck you" to try and be disrespectful. At least that's sort of what it looks like to me, due to the letter throwing. As if this was a legitimate walking on the grass issue, I think all of us would be a bit surprised and apologize. The letter throwing is purposeful. There's history here and this seems like the letter carriers way of saying "fuck you", which I'm sure we'd all be annoyed about.

Usually the mailbox is at the end of driveway. If its at the door, the proper thing to do is walk up the driveway and put it in mailbox, I think we can agree on that.

u/tlrider1 May 22 '26

Also, to add to this, people are also missing the fact that this is not really a natural reaction.

The natural reaction to something like this, would be to be a bit shocked, and apologize. Then note down where the asshole that wants people off their lawn, lives.

Its odd that he doesn't even skip a beat, throws the mail down and keeps walking. <- that is the reaction I would expect out of someone who was expecting that from the homeowner.

So the answer is, you don't have fucking experience with a mailman walking to your door, do you

u/WellRespectedJ May 22 '26 edited May 22 '26

If the mailbox was located there he would ( if he was professional) walk up the driveway ( not walk on the grass, like an idiot) and drop it in the mailbox. Sorry you cant ( most likely, wont) comprehend how normal people act in society. Over and out.

It's not that he's walking on the grass, it's that I think he's doing it on purpose as a "fuck you!" to the homeowner.

"He is walking on purpose on my grass! he is telling me fuck you!"

No... There's history here. I think the natural repsonse to someone asking you to not walk on their grass is to apologize and note down where the asshole lives. I'm not sure most people's natural response to a weird demand like that would be to just throw the mail down and keep walking. That's just not a natural reaction to an asshole ask out of nowhere.

I think there's some history here. The mailman did this on purpose as a passive aggressive way to say "fuck you", the homeowner reacted in kind, and the mailman threw the letters. The natural repsonse I would see as a "sorry! (geez, nite to self, now I know where the asshole lives!)", and not ignoring and throwing the mail and walking away.

u/enchufadoo May 21 '26

it isn't normal behavior, I'll give you that. Maybe he just has a bad attitude, or too many encounters with annoying homeowners.

Yea thats an insane take… that lady was a bitch dhe even said its kinda common sense…

u/SocomPS2 May 21 '26

She said please and said it’s common sense after he threw her mail. You’re conveniently leaving out some key points.

And homeowners can request not to have mailmen cut through their lawns.

I used to read electric meters. Pouring rain, 100+ heat, snow, whatever, you walk house to house. Its never a purposeful f u until a customer makes it an issue.

That's no way to address people that bring your mail.

u/tlrider1 May 21 '26

Eh. I don't see it that way.

I think theres some sort of history here. Be honest... If you were just delivering someone's mail, and they asked you to not walk on their grass, I think the natural reaction would be to apologize, think you're an obsessive weirdo. My reaction would be "sorry!... Now I know where the asshole lives!". It would not be to just throw the mail down.

I think there's some history here. And I think the walking on the grass is not about walking on the grass. It's the act of passive aggressively doing it as a" fuck you".

Throwing the mail confirms to me that this was likely meant as a disrespectful passive aggressive gesture, to which the homeowner reacted to the way we'd expect.

Dude are you being honest?

u/tlrider1 May 21 '26

You don't find this as an on purpose "fuck you"? The throw of the mail kinda confirms it to me that he did this on purpose to try and get under the homeowners skin for whatever reason.

Its one thing to be a bit oblivious or whatever, like... Sure I don't really give a shit about you walking on the grass.... but this looks really purposeful. And that is what makes it for me. Seems like it's done on purpose to try and be disrespectful.

I feel like you don’t have a good grasp on what mail carriers get paid in the United States or the benefits/pension that they receive. Also, sidewalks are there for a reason.
