When you get sick of fighting the zone board about your mailbox.

I understood the not wanting to get out part, that's pretty obvious. From a non-country boy perspective it just looks a lot safer for all involved if the mailman pulls a tiny bit into the driveway, drops off the mail and moves on again, so he doesn't have to stop in a 55m/h road as well. But yeah, if it's that calm, makes sense I guess.

if the mailman pulls in delivers and backs out again, that takes time. maybe no more than a minute, but multiply that x 100 deliveries and the workday just got a whole lot longer.

Of course, I was just curious about the situation. In the more secluded areas here in Finland they usually have a bunch of mailboxes grouped up at a central-ish inlet, but those roads are quite narrow, with dense forest on both sides and pretty bad visibility, so stopping there, especially in winter, is pretty suicidal. I was wondering about the general situation, seeing as apparently those mailboxes get driven into enough to be a source of frustration.

They actually are almost never hit on accident. They’re most taken out by kids with bats or fireworks. Mine mostly gets knocked down by the snowplows.

Here's a novel idea: keep your vehicle on the fucking road, rednecks.

Is that you, Sam Kinison?
