in this town.
Just now, the people who live behind my house hit a fucking mailbox!!
I guess he was too close to the curb and BAM...screech! Almost lost it recovering, and there was another car coming the other way.

8:10 AM

Fucking aye...I walk down that road alot...

The fucking loser could have at least picked up his neighbors shit!
Maybe he was just in a hurry home to administer his old ladies daily beating.

Wonder if the authorities would have concluded that he and the mailbox were racing each other when it happened.

Yeah, and people have these absurd notions that flying cars would solve a lot of problems

Just which town is this? I'm starting to think we live in the same city.

Hah,ha

Man, you made my entire week with that comment!!!

The mailbox did have stripes, so therefore it must be guilty!

Ironic: yesterday I was driving home down this road pretty close to my neighborhood. It was a 2-lane road, but the right lane was used for people to park their cars. Yes, it's wierd, basically making it a 1-lane road.

Anyways, I saw a turtle in the middle of the road, and swirved slightly toward the median to miss it. Looking in my rearview, the person behind me must have seen me swirve a bit, so they did the same thing (probably in a panic) when they approached the turtle. Only it wasn't toward the median, and it wasn't slowly. I shit you not: the Altima behind me had sideswipped this parked Civic! At least they weren't assholes - they pulled over to let the people know - though their extreme stupidity makes up for that, I suppose.

I was laughing so hard the rest of the way home, It was difficult to actually continue driving

I was parked at Barnes & Noble last week, in the very front-most spot. Since there was no spot on the one side, I parked all the way over, leaving about five feet on my other side. I went in the store, and a few minutes later I got called to the front because the a**hole parked next to me had sideswiped my car, and then drove off. Luckily some very kind people witnessed it and wrote down his plate and description, and reported it to the store.

What kind of moron hits another car and drives off without even checking for damage? Sadly enough, it happens all the time. :/

On tuesday I was leaving work and a van in oncoming traffic suddenly lost control, hit somebody and jumped the curb; taking out some signs.

People are retarded.

I live in Tampa, Florida, which I swear is a magnet for awful drivers. You got all sorts here. Old people, drunk college students, people that don't speak English, and tourists.

I want to know why people just sit there when there's a GREEN LIGHT!!!

Read the statistics. Hawaii has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the nation. They suck shit at driving here. I usually cycle on the sidewalk b/c it's safer.

I'll join in.

I was walking to the gym yesterday, and some jerkass in a pickup truck caught my attention because he did a quick 180 in the parking lot, tires squealing and all (clearly proving how much of a badass he is).

He goes to exit the parking lot, takes off like a jackrabbit into the street (turning left), and smashes into the side of an oncoming car.

Of course, he came out of the truck acting like it was totally the other guy's fault.

Yeah, flying cars that wreck would be going down. I'd get mighty fucked up if I had one of those things suddenly go down through MY roof. With the way some people drive, maybe I'm thankful there's no such thing.

Recently someone did 100 MPH here in OH while going the WRONG WAY. Thankfully the police got to this damned Einstein before he killed someone.

Hey whats up. I just moved to Tampa. And, yes, the driving is bad statewide in Florida. You've got 90-year old ladies driving 40mph in the left lane of the expressway, and some freakish 18 year old going 100MPH in the right lane, like all the time. I-4 is a bitch.

I love Walmart parking lots in busy hours. You have those old people driving those V8 Cadillacs and backing out of the their space. Just missing one car, then another, then another. Then eventually a Walmart rep will squeal down the speaker system telling them to wait for assistance.

By the time its over, about 150 people have gathered around like its the races

Last summer I saw perhaps the saddest and funniest thing an idiot can do to their car. I was sitting outside the operations department at the college I worked for, waiting for my lunch hour to end, when one of the workers, trying to be a badass (there's a theme here) peeled out and was whipping around the parking lot. The jackass took the corner to leave the lot, but he overcorrected and ran straight into the building. Completely fucked up the hood and front of his car. Mind you, the eight of us that were out there were laughing our asses off.

I can't fucking believe it this morning just before going to work, i come out of my house and see that my mailbox has been smashed. Some dumbass crashed into my mailbox, and didn't even leave a note the fucker i think he hit the mailbox with either his car or a bat. Man i just put that thing up 2 months ago. This is the first time it happened, and i live in San Jose, CA (i'm thinking it might be some teenage drunks or some shithead).

My buddy had the same thing happen twice. Finally he got smart.

Take a 6x6 and bore the center of it out so you can stick a good sized pipe in it. But before yous tick the pipe in there, fill it with concrete. Pour a concrete foundation in for the 6x6.

They may still bust it off, but it REALLY fucks up their car. It was hit a 3rd time and the guys car was totally mashed (turned out to be a kid 3 houses down taking the turn too quickly).

Come to think of it, I don't know how he tunneled the center of the 6x6 out. Didn't really think about it at the time. Maybe the pipe didn't run all the way through.

i can picture some jerkass trying to knock this over with a bat on a drive by... comedy gold.

Reminds me of my dad, sort of...our mailbox used to get nailed on mischief night a lot, one year someone actually knocked the top part of it off. However, my dad discovered that he could simply slide the top back on to the pole and it would be fine; from then on, he could simply detach the top of the mailbox and bring it inside on future mischief nights, then put it back on the next day, heh. It also came in handy after heavy snowstorms, when the snowplows would come by.

To whoever first attacked out mailbox, wherever you are: you're a jerk! And thanks!

shariar07 · Post by **shariar07** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 7:14 pm

yeah i already did the concrete foundation though i used 4X4, that one still seems to be holding i have to check to see if its loose, the mailbox itself is badly bent, so i'll probably get a new one.
