One thing I always do is clear the snow from the road on the left side of my driveway ( heading out ). Makes for less plow hump and more importantly, less "ammo" for the snow plow driver to hit my mailbox with AGAIN

Here's my mickey mouse fix from a couple years ago when the new driver thought he could get done quicker if he plowed faster



asshole knocked it off by plowing at 35 mph

I replace at least one mailbox a year

I don't understand the point of it really, it's just going to get plowed right back onto your driveway when the plow goes by....

Depends on how far and where you put it in the street.

Honestly, I've done it...Fuck it.

Bastards hit it again wenesday night or thursday morning. It's pointing about 10* down the road now and the board holding the mailbox is loose ( again )

I saw a snowplow once. In Wyoming, about four years ago. That sucked, so I left and now avoid places like that.

On the downside, it's gonna be in the seventies here this weekend, and my left hand is in a cast.

Not if it gets thrown slightly down the street, then the plow just pushes it right past the driveway

And if everyone on the street does it, the only person who doesn't get screwed is the first person on the street.

My friend Bob works for a local township and drives plow truck during the winter.

Somebody's grandmother had just finished shoveling her driveway and had stupidly thrown all the snow on the left side of her driveway. ( facing out )

Here comes Bob in the townships tri axle dump truck plowing snow and he can see grandma yelling at him not to plow the snow back in her driveway. Since he's responsible for clearing the entire road, he stays in his lane.

As he approaches the driveway, grandma throws the shovel and it bounces off the windshield.

He stopped to explain that if she put the snow on the other side of her driveway she would have less to shovel again. He said she let loose with an expletive lanced rant that would have made a sailor blush
