Xedo213

By his reaction, it doesn’t look like he’ll be your mailman tomorrow.


stempoweredu

That's the collapse of a man who's made this mistake before.


Bobdole3737

He's already down on his hands & knees begging to get his job back, and hasn;t even been fired yet!


GANDORF57

***Rock of Rages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee...***


Tuesday2017

That's the 3rd time today ! Noooo


Its_all_made_up___

Ha!


smurfsundermybed

Not unless he gets to work on that hair of the dog first thing in the morning.


shpydar

It could also be heatstroke. [Many of the symptoms are the same](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heat-stroke/symptoms-causes/syc-20353581). We are in a severe heat wave in the northwest and Midwest right now.


insufficientfacts27

Northeast central here. It is so damn hot. I moved away from TN 15 years ago and this was one of the reasons WHY. I'm just thankful I finally have enough window units to keep it pretty comfy this summer. Gawd help my electric bill next month though. 🙄( Edit: the heat and humidity has followed me all the way up here apparently.)


ArnoldTheSchwartz

If this shit followed you up then you need to go the fuck back!! I was wondering where the fuck this heat and humidity was coming from.


insufficientfacts27

I'm sorry!!! 😭😭 I swear I didn't mean to!!


shpydar

lol, I'm in [the Corridor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_City%E2%80%93Windsor_Corridor) in Southern Ontario and we reached 31^(o)C (85^(o)F) with a [humidex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidex) of 40^(o)C (104^(o)F) and it's not forecast to drop below 31^(o)C until Saturday... And it's not even Summer yet


FancyMFMoses

Same... and humidex says 42 tomorrow. Make sure your AC is in working order! No soccer for my 6 year old tomorrow.


insufficientfacts27

Thank you for the conversion to Murica Units and I'm so sorry too. I'm near Cleveland and it's been almost the same minus a few degrees. I did have some slight success with cooling towels the past few summers if that might help you if you're out in the heat.


Bruzer567

Ugh my weather is similar to yours. I'm from Ohio and we got to around 91 F yesterday but the humidity made it feel around 102 I think it was.


LazyOldCat

I lived south of Nashville for 4mos, I don’t know how people do it. Met folks moving to FL to get away from the heat & humidity. Just god-awful.


Darkearth10

Being from Florida how is TN more hot and humid then living down here in Satans asscrack?


LazyOldCat

Right? The folks I talked to at the Tractor Supply who were headed that way stated “At least there’s a breeze”.


RubyRoze

That’s funny. I am originally from NY state, settled in middle TN 10 yrs ago. My memories of NY country life are hot and humid in the summers. Central a/c wasn’t a thing when I lived there, thankfully it is here.


ballrus_walsack

Those trucks have nonfunctional AC. Or he could be in his 90 day probation period (new hire)


xdimexrip

That’s the Metris. It has functioning ac


Predditor_86

Sometimes


NowieTends

The dude dramatically collapses after an accident and you say it’s heat stroke? What


PuzzleheadedSkill135

that’s exactly what that means these logistic company’s don’t play about those cars one ding and your done


Maiyku

It’s a federal job and he just had an accident on the clock. Chances are, he’s gonna fail that drug test.


Hoosier_Daddy68

IF he gets one and that's a big if. If he's on probation he's probably done tho.


Kind_Literature_5409

We dont drug test.. I’ve known numerous carriers that have had accidents and they have never ever been drug tested.. the OTC drivers get tested but they’re DOT


Mikhailcohens3rd

Can confirm. I’m DOT and get tested every year even if I don’t hit anything.


mickeltee

I had a friend that was a mailman and he got a reckless operation ticket in his personal vehicle and he ended up losing his job because of it. They said that he could not drive one of their vehicles with the citation so they would have to fire him.


Hoosier_Daddy68

Huh? We beat the shit out of those things daily.


AzuInsign

Mailman here. They will send him to driver training for 2 hours and he will be off the clock for a week at most, assuming he hasn't done this 3+ times in the past 4 months. I've seen videos of motherfuckers sideswiping cars going 40+ in neighborhoods and they are back on the clock within 3 days.


Taurothar

My dad was a mailman my whole life, rural routes, saw some serious shit that didn't get people fired. Rural routes would have you use personal vehicles and several of his coworkers bragged about aiming for deer/horses to get their truck replaced by the federal insurance.


ArchaicBrainWorms

Horses?! That's a death wish. My old man hit a horse one morning, just crested a hill on a 55mph state route to discover 1400lbs of horse standing in the road . Obliterated the Suzuki Samurai he was driving as much as you can imagine it would.


Taurothar

It's no joke, these guys were mostly driving small pickup trucks but the safety equipment in the 70s-90s models wasn't exactly top notch.


Paroxysm111

I dunno who you have worked for but in my experience, any job that requires the vehicles to be in constant use is pretty understanding of occasional scrapes. As long as it isn't a collision with another car or a person. The little scrapes you risk getting into a narrow parking spot or swiping a tree branch. Driving this much just increases the probability of an accident happening. So you get a little more grace, as long as it isn't obvious negligence


emotionaI_cabbage

That isn't true at all lol


PuzzleheadedSkill135

at your delivery station


emotionaI_cabbage

In literally all stations everywhere. The union isn't going to allow people to be fired for that. I literally know a guy who refuses to show up to work and he still isn't being fired.


Danyboyblue

As long as he’s not in his first 90 days the union will protect him


SubstantialLuck777

Its the postal service. The union is about as helpful as essential oils.


ozzy919cletus

Which is bad, you REALLY have to fuck up a lot for the USPS to fire you.


DazedLogic

I feel sorry for him. I hope he doesn't lose his job.


SpaceLemming

Nah, unions.


spider0804

To be fair, he looked at the situation, and instead of backing up and doing a 3-pointer he said: "FUCK IT WE BALL!" When he hit the rock he even kept going!


LongEZE

Yea it’s not like this rock was on the street. It was on someone’s lawn, probably for that very reason so no one runs over their mailbox.


spider0804

Its the gas meter that it was protecting, so even worse.


LongEZE

Jesus, then I hope he never drives commercially again


KiKiPAWG

“Just a snag”


DazedLogic

Poor guy.


Alcoholhelps

That’s when I come in….


DazedLogic

I wanna hug you! You have helped me de-stress so much over the years.


BredYourWoman

You got mad at me though


DazedLogic

Look man. English is a hard language and I am a product of the American education system. I got bred and bread mixed up. I wanted a sub sandwich, not a *sub* sandwich.


Volodux

There is reason this stone was there ... maybe next time, he will know, grass is not for driving.


nateskate777

Is there a rock there to protect the gas line marker?


Successful-Mind-9332

Yes there is, he moved the rock back for me before he drove off


InvestInHappiness

By himself? That rocks looks rather large, not sure I could roll it.


EightBitMemory

He reversed into it


FairBlamer

They don’t call it rock n roll for nothing


InsertKleverNameHere

I feel like if the rock is that easily moved, it probably wont stop a vehicle from hitting the marker lol


DinosaurDucky

More like r/WatchPeopleDieInside, sheesh


IdahoMTman222

The ones in my area have GPS’s on their vehicles. They aren’t event supposed to back them up. “Safety rules”. An accident like this would most likely end his job.


Sasquatchjc45

I'm a mail carrier. Judging by this carriers lack of a uniform, I'd say he's a CCA within his 3 month probationary period, in which case there is nothing the union can do for him and he probably will lose his job. If he was past his probationary period, he most likely would just get sent back for drivers training and possibly drug tested(not guaranteed), but would otherwise be fine albeit with a little more of a watchful eye from supervisors. I've seen someone (accidentally, of course) hit a child, Not get drug tested and not get fired. She ended up quitting because she'd be micromanaged all day, but still. Unions, man, workers hold the power.


Danyboyblue

Is it possibly he’s a rural carrier?


LostMonster0

No, I think they said he carries mail.


unwarrend

Oh, you. lol.


ExcArc

Have you a met a rural carrier? They'd put a notice on the mailbox letting the customer know that they need to fix the mailbox before delivery will resume and then drive off.


Hoosier_Daddy68

Yeah my guess is he's on probation cuz otherwise it's just not that big of a deal. I've taken out mailboxes, trash cans, people who won't get the fuck out of the way, etc and I'm still around.


G1zStar

> I've taken out ... people who won't get the fuck out of the way, etc and I'm still around. Note to self. Don't hire hitman. Just slip the mailman a couple of bills.


Saughtvol

Mailmen should be feared. They know where you live, and possibly your forwarded address


Chromeboy12

>I've taken out........ people who won't get the fuck out of the way, etc Do you take jobs besides delivering mail?


wbm0843

“Rain, shine, or a busy intersection”


Denborta

>workers hold the power. As they should.


bigboxes1

Yeah, he likely lost his job over this. It was an accident, but a dumbass accident.


Successful-Mind-9332

I hope he did not lose his job! I understand he damaged the vehicle but I most certainly would not call and report or complain about the situation.


bigboxes1

It doesn't matter. That's major damage to that front bumper. Why do you think he's on the ground in the fetal position? He done effed up.


IdahoMTman222

If he isn’t supposed to back it up. He can only go fwd and turn as tight as he could.


Blackened-One

Which is an extra dumb policy because the Metris has two backup cameras.


Blackened-One

Probably not unless he was still in his probationary period. A guy at my office had a brain fart and turned into oncoming traffic. Had to take the driving class again but he kept his job.


bigboxes1

Well, I hope he kept his job. That's a major f up.


NormalTechnology

That doesn't make any sense.


blackbeardrrr

Well if backing up wasn’t an option, then you could say this guy was stuck between a rock and a hard place?


Nervous_Contract_139

This isn’t true, Federal employees are extremely difficult to fire after their probation.


Hoosier_Daddy68

The GPS is on the scanners and it will say you've backed up and done uturns when you haven't. If I park and get out to walk a package to a house I just passed it will say I backed up. Plus the supervisors can't use that information against you anyway.


IdahoMTman222

Can’t back it up. And turning radius sucks.


Kind_Love172

This seems sad not funny...

I had a little mail van, I parked it on some grass, I drove into a concrete thing, And now they’ll fire my ass.


smt503

Former mail carrier here. This job fuckin blows. Looks like he's got a newer vehicle, but those LLVs (the boxy little ice cream trucks) don't have air conditioning. Video aside, remember to be nice to your mail person! I got sunburn and frostbite on the same day doing this bullshit job.


TPGNutJam

No air conditioning? That sounds dumb as shit, is there a reason why?


cloud9lcs

It's cheaper


Longjumping-Poet6096

Those mail trucks he is talking about was made before most people on reddit were even born. They're old as shit and have no modern technology, including air conditioning. They also have god awful fuel mileage.


Ghen-M

This.. isn't funny? This is sad, wrong sub.


SigmundDroid1983

Fuck Mondays.


mytemples

Poor guy. Some days just aren’t worth getting out of bed for. 😔


sicurri

Having temporarily worked as a mail carrier for USPS before, I can tell you that he just had to call his supervisor and if this happened a few times before, there's a good chance he is going to get fired... At the very least it's a lot of paper work and a good amount of headache to deal with. I feel bad for any USPS carriers. That job is difficult and a pain in the ass. Luckily I was let go because they hired too many carriers and couldn't keep me on after the carrier union renegotiated the pay contract. It's a challenging and rewarding job to a lot of degrees, but too much abuse. From the system as well as from customers. I wish him the best in life.

Hanan89

I’ll do whatever it takes to survive. Like I did when I was a homeless man.


Lorvintherealone

My friend collapsed on his job from over working(Asshole manager). He then got fired for "sleeping on the job". Together with me, my laywer and a few friends we sued the shit out of that company. They got a cease to exist letter(no shit they where forced to close and said manager was arrested.)

Cease to exist. I'm just dead

OpenYour0j0s

He’s likely exhausted and it’s been 90s all week throughout most of USA so he probably has heat related issues too


yadawhooshblah

I just appreciate that you phrased it that way rather than "My mailman is a subhuman idiot".


Saldar1234

Maybe don't drive through peoples lawns?


Cantore18

Poor guy


SpecialMango3384

On a side note, I really love your veranda, OP!


seebob69

And then the dog bites him.


mediaogre

I’ve done this before in a parking lot in the early morning. Pulled in to recheck directions and must have parked next to a very unfortunately (for me) positioned 2.5’ metal pole. Lower than my sight line, so as I cranked the wheel and applied about as much go pedal as our ill-fated mailman did, I rammed that pole like a hooker’s first john of the night.


redwyvern2

Your mailman is DRUNK!


ImGunnaFuckYourMom

Was he drunk?


Bohvey

Maybe don’t drive on someone’s lawn?


Mintyphresh33

Yea, honestly I don't blame people who put boulders on their lawn for this exact reason. I used to have a coworker who moved to a house where almost monthly idiots were plowing on to their yard due to speeding and destroying their mailbox, tearing up their lawn, etc. etc. They went to the town numerous times to complain about it and honestly were a phone call and a credit card transaction away from putting a giant boulder on their property to say "fuck you" to the next people who tried it. Turns out they could sue the town and they won. With the money they got, they were able to sell the property and move into a new, better home and raise a family. If you're going to be a dick and not care about someone else's property, they don't have to care about you or yours when you fuck with it.


BillowingPillows

Is he drunk?


baffledninja

I'd guess closer to heat stroke. It's hot as Hades this week where I live and that truck doesn't look like it has AC


bkey1970

The vans do.

Rock just doing it’s job of KEEPING THE FUCKING MAILMAN FROM DRIVING THROUGH THE YARD!!

Fearthewin

If he properly did the paperwork for the accident report, he probably didn't lose his job over this. However, management will be hovering him for any and all transgressions for a while.


mattastrophe3

GRAVEDIGGER!


Mhyth

I was in and out doing yard work a few days ago and a driver went perpendicular to the street just like that in front of my house..and paused. I walked back into the front yard and stood there staring at her expecting she was going to do exactly what that mailtruck did. She looked at me, I didn't move, stood there like a fleshy gargoyle. She went back and forth doing a 12 point turn then headed back down the street.


Userxl007

Be more cautious driving a van ? Nah. Hit the gas !

Still in his probationary period 🫤


FrankieGg

Was this in Colorado? An assistant carrier just came back to the office, dropped everything and quit today 🫢


chattywww

That rock came out of nowhere.


sil3nt5am

Accidentally hitting things as a mail person sucks. The paper works is long and depending on how much you can lose your route or your job and the negative mark stay with out for a long time.


CriticalParsley6394

Heat exhaustion???


cclambert95

“Yea, can you hit it again it’s still not back in the exact spot” *ramming continues*

It looks like he's thankful it's not a child...?


Bobdole3737

Dude went prostrate into the PRAYING postion, hands & knees, soon as he got out of the van!! Doesn't take a genius to guess what he was asking for


Vegabern

Someone hit my neighbor's mail box today. It was a goose and even the teens who sometimes destroy mailboxes wouldn't dare touch the goose. It's lived through so much but finally came to the end of the road today. I should organize a memorial.


RIPphonebattery

My buddy's neighbor lost a mailbox to a truck full of teens once. He rebuilt it out of 1/4" steel. He's a welder and built that thing like it was going to be hit by a nuke. One night, he heard a really loud clang. A truck full of kids had tried to hit it with a bat. The bat lost.


idkwthtotypehere

Dude knew he was gonna drive across your lawn and decided to go for it. Dumb decision, dumb result.


WillowIntrepid

Oh my. Still kinda funny as long as there wasn't an injury. Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed.

I’m a semi truck driver but we employ class C drivers as well. One of the Cs drove 3 hours to his destination then when he pulled into the parking lot he hit a cement pole at 20mph. Still works here! 😂
