Guy Gets His Mailbox Ruined By A Snow Plow Every Snowfall, Gets Perfect Revenge

living in snowplow country, I have two points. My Grandfather ,who passed away last year, had made his from heavy duty tow chain where the links were welded together. never seen anyone hit it, people around here had enough common sense, I guess. I see a LOT of the swing away types, where the post is far from the road, and the box can be knocked out of the way, only to swing back.

When it's painfully obvious a snow plow driver is intentionally hitting ANYTHING they should lose their job. Snow plows are huge dangerous vehicles and people with anger management issues should not be allowed to drive them. So sayeth someone with anger management issues!

Our mailbox is attached to our house. Mailman walks up onto our door, puts in the mail. Works great.

Just FYI, in many places in the US, it is illegal to put up an indestructible mailbox like this. You can actually get mailboxes that will collapse when hit and pop back up (not the post, just the box). In the neighborhood where I live now, you can have a box at the road or a letterbox at your door. To avoid replacing mailboxes, we chose the letterbox at the door. Check with your local postal regs and see if you can put a letterbox at your door instead of a mailbox at the road.

I recall reading the story of the dude who built his snowman around a tree trunk. Was a while ago, good stuff

ouch! better see how much u gotta pay. and i can assure u, it must cost more than buying a mailbox.

In *actual* reality there was this story from Ohio in 2021 - https://www.courtnewsohio.gov/cases/2021/SCO/1124/201057.asp "Fortified Mailbox Owners Not Responsible for Pickup Driver’s Paralyzing Injuries"

First off I can guarantee that it didn't tear the plow in two. I worked for the state plowing roads and a plows are made to break away in case of an impact. I would agree that if the driver is intentionally breaking it something should be done but inflicting damage to a state owned vehicle is stupid on your part. I never broke them on purpose but it sometimes happens. I don't know how your state works but in the state but the state I live in it is against the law to make mail boxes where they won't break away. That's a safety issue for in any vehicle hits it no injury or death be caused by it.

There are a certain type of snow plow driver that just enjoys damage. I was run off the road by one of these... it took me quite a while to dig myself off the median and back onto the road.

I think i remember something similiar to this story, i don't know whether it's from movie or true story, but it's about some kids driving around and hit mailboxes with basebal bat, and one day he hit the concrete mailbox, and broke his hands, and sue the owner of the house, and i think he won, unlike this story

Our mail just gets put through the door of the house...

They build a plow-proof mailbox

bn

Our mailbox is stuck on some kind of metal pole, and before we moved in somebody crashed into it. Now it's bent over, just so all the mail falls out (we have the weird ones without an opening.) Really annoying nowadays, all mail falls out into the mud (yes, we also have a ditch in front of it.)

Dad won the internet for this winter

First of all, if true, I'd like to think there was something else than malice at play. Maybe a tough corner or something else for the plow to do its work. But. Having said that. F them, get better at your job in stead of inconveniencing people at such a rate. I mean, setting up a mailbox is still a lot of work. It's done to help out the mail company, not because it's helpful to yourself. Pff, I hope the end of snail mail is near ;).

Im just wondering why theres still a need for mail boxes? They dont exist where i live because everything is electronic
