Back around mid February, 13ish or so, we had a snow and ice storm that was pretty bad for a week or two following. The temperatures dropped and everything turned into an ice skating rink, it was treacherous.
I've posted several stories in the past about my lazy neighbors, well here's another example to help illustrate how lazy and inconsiderate people can be.
The first pic below, which I took on March 8 upon returning from my walk, shows how the neighbors were too lazy to actually shovel a path to their mailbox, both for themselves to get the mail and for the postal carrier to deliver it. I would see them literally need to climb the mounded snow and ice around the box to fetch their mail. The postal carrier ultimately was able to put the mail in the box with little troubles, so and not that I'm wishing this on them, but the laziness of the homeowners might ultimately be their "downfall" and they'd have no one to blame but themselves.
Now fast forward to March 9 when the below two pics were taken. As you can see the snow has all melted and is gone but the neighbors mailbox has since fallen over. Seems something hit it, as the base of the hollow aluminum post is damaged and dented. Perhaps, the sidewalk plow hit it but who knows.
It is Sunday, March 23 as I write this and I want to point out that the mailbox below IS IN THE SAME SPOT IT WAS BACK ON THE 8th!! You'd of thought they would have at least moved if out of the way and to the side of the sidewalk but NOPE! Seems they can't be bothered.
Being lazy is one thing and if their laziness only effect them then fine. However, their laziness is also being inconsiderate and causing a potential hazard for the folks that use the sidewalk every day!
Most normal homeowners would have brought this mailbox up to the house by now but not these POS.
Thankfully, the postal carrier doesn't deliver their mail, rather he drives on by, which means a reward for laziness requires the homeowners need to drive to the Franklin post office to pick up their mail each day. I guess they're okay with that.
I write this because I struggle with how people can be so frick'n lazy, selfish and inconsiderate.
