Today, on my first day at my new job delivering mail, I was yelled at by a guy, who threatened to shoot me if I "trespassed" on his property. He made me toss his mail toward his porch from the street, before telling me to get lost. FML

Today, I went to check my mail but there was a guy standing at the mailbox. I said, "Hey, get the fuck away from there." It was the mailman. FML
Today, I got fired from my job as a postman, which I started yesterday. They fired me because I failed to deliver a bunch of papers to a road that no longer exists. FML
Today, a drunk driver drove his car through my mailbox. He got pissed, started yelling, and threatened to sue me for "putting the mailbox in the middle of the road". If my front lawn is a road, I'm going to have some serious issues. FML
Today, while delivering for a building supply company, I was sent to an incorrect address. I attempted to turn around and got the 24-foot truck stuck in the mud. The homeowner left for work and then called the cops, saying someone was trespassing on his property. FML
Today, today while walking my dog in a different part of town, a man ran screaming out of his house, and threw a plastic bag at me. It was dog poop. It was the first time I'd ever walked in front of his house with my dog. FML
Today, I came home from work to find that my neighbor's trash bins were still on the curb. While returning the bins to her backyard, her kid ran out and shot me with a paintball gun. Multiple times. He thought I was a burglar and ruined my new suit. FML
Today, I watched as my neighbor walked to my front lawn, looked me right in the eye, and pissed on my mailbox. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, I was screamed at and told that I was denying someone's "second amendment" by not letting him through with a gun. I work at the border; he was trying to enter Canada. This is not the first time, and it probably won't be the last. FML
Today, I witnessed a postal worker with an important parcel stopping before knocking on my door, shrugging, getting back in his van, and driving away. I couldn't get the door open quickly enough before he left. FML

Eh, look at it this way. Now that that's done, you can save some time and effort at that stop just flinging mail instead of having to drop it in the box. His loss, your gain.

That, my friend, was a mail-fail.

1, Canada ain't much better. You see all kinds of crazy shit delivering mail on the mean streets of Canada, take it from someone with experience.

#54 A Toronto ghetto is a JOKE compared to an American one. So don't say that about Canada.

I agree!

Until he complains about it to OP's boss. Let's face it, this guy isn't rational.

Or better yet, report him and have him pick up his mail at the police station.

That is what I am saying. Legally, as a public official (assuming that you work for USPS; I'm not sure how it would work for a private company, like FedEx or UPS), you have the right, nay, the obligation to go onto his lawn.

I'd quit giving him his mail. Make his crazy ass go to the post office for it.

That was my first thought too, him threatening to shoot OP is more than enough reason to stop delivering to him.

Actually, I think the best option would be for the OP to report it to his superiors, and not deliver the mail until they provide a solution. (Such as police, or. . Something.)

some people just want to watch the world burn
JMichael 25
No no they want to watch their mail burn.

No, no, some people are just bat-shit crazy and shouldn't have the right to gun ownership.

some people want to make overused comments and watch fml burn

next time throw it at his face

Because violence solves everything right?

I think it would be better to put the mail in a bucket of wet dog poop and put a lid on it, placing it just beyond his property line.
ChristianH39 30
OP should just throw it haphazardly out the window as he drives by, as long as it lands in his yard it's good right?
Bcfrmkc816 17
Yep it sure does.
Bloink 25
throwing it at his face will make it so he doesnt even have to move to get his mail!

he must be one of those paranoid people I here about all the time.

don't deliver it, tell your boss he threatened you and make him get a P.O. Box
zandalee 19
This is the reason so many mailmen go 'postal'...
hansam 12
Keep his mail then
SgtAssCheeks 21
You do know that's a federal offense, right?

Report him. Threatening like that simply isn't acceptable, some might argue that it comes with the job but this is a bit extreme if you ask me.
