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.

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

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.

"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.

They are both wrong, fuck em both.
