You....might...have mail

Our poor mailbox. Since the new neighbors moved in across the street, it's taken a real beating. First the dad didn't put his car in park (or didn't set the parking brake or something) and his truck rolled backward & hit the mailbox. It was pretty mangled, and while it still technically had a door, it didn't open and shut very well. Thankfully, they bought us a new one, and even installed it. Then last weekend his son hit it--I'm not sure exactly how. But our post (wood set in concrete) is leaning at about a 70-degree angle toward the street. So now they're getting us a new post. We told them that they could feel free to move it closer to the driveway if it would make it any easier; it's currently about 10 feet from the driveway. We'll see how it goes.

Wow. That is bad. They must feel really silly. At least they have fixed it both times for you.

i would be sooooooooooooo embarrassed if i were them. that's crazy! maybe they should learn how to check their blind spots and rearview mirror. on the other hand, we've hit our own garbage can before because when the truck puts it back down, it lands in the middle of our driveway. annoying.
