Today, I got a second notice from the mailman that my mail would not be delivered because of the pile of ice a plow had pushed in front of my mailbox. After getting the first notice, I'd spent an hour in the cold busting up the ice with a pick to clear a path. He put both notices in my mailbox. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was very windy and snowy and the neighborhood's garbage cans were blowing everywhere. I had already brought mine in and I saw my neighbor's being blown away. Thinking I'd be nice, I went out to pick it up. Just before I could however, the wind smashed it into me and I fell on the ice. FML
Today, I broke, shoveled, and salted the ice covering my entire driveway. The size is roughly 8 cars' worth, and took me two hours of back-breaking effot to clear. I completely forgot that it was supposed to rain later today. FML
Today, I spent over an hour shovelling the walkway and driveway, snow blowing in my face and down my coat. When I was finally finished, a guy started going through the neighborhood plowing everyone's driveways for them. FML
Today, driving out of my neighbourhood, I encountered three snow plows heading towards me. I tried to turn around in a stranger's driveway but wasn't fast enough, and they left a wall 4-feet high of ice and snow, blocking me in. I rang the doorbell, borrowed their shovel and dug out their driveway. Its -32 with wind-chill. FML
Today, the company that was supposed to clear our apartment's parking lot never showed up. I almost got frostbite in my fingers trying to shovel someone's car out since my gloves got soaking wet. FML
Today, I got stuck in the snow in the middle of street. As I was just beginning to get myself unstuck, the snow plow came by and buried the front end of my car. FML
Today, as I was walking home, I felt my feet slip out from under me and I face-planted in the slushy, dirty, melting snow. I rolled over, completely soaked, and attempted to get up, thinking no one saw me. A mail-man then passed me without offering to help, and said, "I've seen worse." FML
Today, my elderly neighbor used his snowblower to send all of the fallen leaves in his yard into mine, which I'd raked earlier that morning. FML
Today, I came home to find a note on my door. I thought it was from my elderly disabled neighbors thanking me for cleaning off their snow covered car, since about 6 inches came down. It was from them, only it said I owed them for damages to their car. Damages that were already there. FML
Today, I got a notice on my apartment door that I'd received a package when no one was home, and it was left at the backdoor. I don't have a backdoor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

leave a note inside your mailbox saying 'while you are putting another notice in my mailbox, could you also slip in my mail too?'

Wow... What a lazy ******* mailman.

It's not about being lazy. Letter carriers get pissed if people don't clear a pathway as they should. So they will get revenge by holding mail. They can do that.

How does this constitute as "lazy"? He still did the work of coming to the mailbox, and inserting the warning, he just didn't leave the mail. Besides, maybe there was no mail to deliver.

You should "go postal" on the mailman for being lazy. Lame joke, yes, I know. Someone was bound to say that sooner or later. And OP if you don't get any mail for a couple of days, is it really that big of a deal? All I ever get in the mail is coupons for the supermarket or bills.

Isn't it common sense to clear a path to the box? Where would you like the notices put? Nailed to the snowbank or rolled up and jammed in your...

The post office owns your mailbox, shouldn't they be clearing it out?

wrong - where did you get that idea? If it's a private home the box belongs to the property owner, but must conform to certain specs.

I guess you don't want your mail that bad then.

Yes, but slipping on the snow in the rainy gloom of night and busting their ass is where they draw the line. They can only deal with one hazard at a time.

Well, my boyfriend's mailman leaves those notices if there's so much as a couple inches of snow on the path (we're both students--god forbid it snows when he has an early class). And that's just ridiculous. I mean, we live in Quebec, it's not like snow is unheard of. Other than that, while it sucks that the snowplow causes that to happen, it is regardless still your responsibility to clear the way. "Pile of ice" sounds dangerous... significantly more dangerous than a couple inches of snow or a bit of rain.
