VermontHunter Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Was just sitting her having a cup of VT Green Mountain Roasters coffee, chit chatting in chat when I hear a loud bang. I look out the window and there the plow truck going up the road with my NEW mailbox ... :eek::mad::mad: He didn't even stop, I had to retrieve what was left .. but I knew he had to make a return trip ... :D MORON .. He even tried to deny he did it .. .. even tho I knew different .. :rolleyes: Guess, who lost their temper ?? Yup, I did ... man to man, and he's now buying me a new custom mailbox ... he even tried to pawn off a lousy black tin one off on me .. NOT HAPPENING.. :mad: I know accidents happen, but to flat out deny it and say it was like that before he came through just burns me up ,, not to mention all of the bad luck I've been having this year .. Here's what the fool did .... OK, rant over ... Edited December 10, 2008 by VermontHunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 This makes me smile Sorry for your bad luck, but I can just picture it in my head. I think you and I both could use some anger management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I probably would have been a little fired up too. Im having the same year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 How in the heck did he even hit your box Luke? Looks like it is set back off the road farther than the other one in the next drive up. Kind of surprised anyone would be plowing for that little of snow too. On the anger management, ummm ah well bet there are probably maybe a few of us who probably at times let our tempers get to us. Think under certain circumstances like yours it is understandable.

VermontHunter Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) William .. I made double sure I was at least a good couple feet farther back than the rest and I even had the postal service come out and check to make sure it was good .. This is what really angers me .. I have NO clue as to what this guy was doing with the wing down ... :confused: All I know is this is one expensive mail box and I'm not eating eat .. The Town Manager just left here to order me a new one and the set me up a temp. box to use until it arrives .. Already did the Anger management thing,, otherwise this could have really gotten' ugly .. :rolleyes: enough is enough already ... where's 2009 at ?? I'm ready ..

NY_Bowhunter14 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 happens to to my mailbox a few times a year... so my dad made a new mailbox post, (both horizontal and verticle one) put notches in both, so when a snow plow hits it, it will just fall off and not bust in two...
