In reply to the discussion: Lazy postal worker drives on a customers lawn instead of walking twenty feet to deliver a package [View all]dr.strangelove
(4,851 posts)At first glance, this looks like a postal worker drove up on a grass, over some lawn and what appears to be a garden hose, then backed over the same things. But perhaps there a reason other than being lazy.
Before I judge anyone, I like to know what I am actually seeing. If this is a woman who just drove up on a lawn because she did nto want to walk up the pathway, then I would certainly agree with some of the anger I have read toward her. But what if there is another story being played out here. What if this is a rural route customer who refuses to comply with the postal regs, and complains when the mail is not delivered. As a rural route resident very close to NYC, I get a lot fo NYC residents who move here and do not understand the rules. They expect mail to be walked to their door. The expect to be able to buy a cheap mailbox that is too small for a rural route. Maybe the resident was warned that mail would stop unless they complied with the regs and the resident comlained that the mail could be taken to their door. Maybe the resident did somethink wrong here and this was a response. Maybe she had permission to drive up to the walkway. Maybe she is a supervisor and is doing this so that her drivers do not have to deal with this resident. Who knows. I am prepared to be angry at her and call for her to be disciplined, but only if warranted after I know the facts. Right now, I know little about this.
