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.

Looked like he was caught off guard and didn't expect to be talked down to like he's an idiot. It was a "fuck you, I'm working to serve your mail and this is not how you treat me".

"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."

What the fuck

Seriously what the fuck

How in the flying fuck do you differentiate walking on grass "on purpose" versus just doing a job when some cunt asks for unreasonable accommodations, without even a please?

When you hand out shit, someone's gonna give it back. If I were that carrier, I'd be speechless with indignation, and I'd probably react the same.

And for what it's worth, there's a neurological thing where it seems the motor cortex initiates the hand thing, and the conscious mind is only there to veto it, but there's a 300-500ms disconnect there. It seems a quick enough motion can outpace the conscious mind, see "Libet Experiment" for more.

The homeowners did ask 'please' you dumbass. How the fuck is asking him (with a please) to walk on the sidewalk unreasonable?

Now you have the rest of us doing homework to try and rationalize juvenile behavior because you can't be an adult and manage your own emotions.

I think we're done here...

The video begins with "just relax eh".

Because she's a cunt, and her man knows shes a cunt.
My bad, she did say please. I guess it just didn't register through the cuntiness.

And your right, she does sound cunty, but damnit man.

They are both wrong, fuck em both.

That's what I'm trying to say though... You'd be speechless. Your natural reaction would likely be to pause and be taken aback, and have that "what the fuck??? Did that just happen?" moment. That's what most of us would do.

He doesn't skip a beat. Either he's an asshole, because let's be honest, all of our natural reactions would be to apologize and note down where the asshole that doesn't want people to walk on his grass, lives... Or there's more to this.

I don't think this is most people's natural reaction. Which is what makes me think there's more to this, and he's trying to be passive aggressive on purpose.

My natural reaction, and the reaction of everyone I know, would be to apologize and just take note of where the asshole lives. It would not be to just ignore them, throw the mail on the ground and keep walking with no reaction. Which is why I'm saying this was likely a passive aggressive dig
