Mail box neighbour fight!!

[Purelife]

So today my parents asked me to get the mail on my way back from the store for them, I get to the mail box and proceeded to open my mail box and take out the mail. Then out of no where this guy that lives on my street comes out of his garage and starts yelling at me because I was looking at what mail came...

He started yelling at me thinking that I was putting unwanted mail back in the return slot. Anyway I ignore him then he decided to take it to another level started swearing and what not. So I responded for him to mind his own business.

He then goes on and says all you F***** lazy immigrants can’t do anything right. Meaning that I should not be putting mail that was not addressed to me back in the return slot... Even when I wasn’t doing anything I will point out this guy is Caribbean decent and is a immigrant just like a lot of people as are my parents. Right now I am about to flip drop my mail and deck this guy but hell it’s not worth it so I just get back in my car and drive to my house...

He’s done it to my mom before when a letter came to our mail box that was sent to the wrong address (not someone on our street). He’s also done it to some other people on the street but not as bad as what it went to today.

I am so tempted to just go over there and knock him out next time he trys to pull this

huh? if you receive your neighbour's mail, why don't you simply drop it off at their house?? :confused:

Not neighbour's mail just like a letter sent to the wrong address not someone on our street

I remember that happening.. i just yelled at him really loud and angrily... most of the times they stfu. Keep your distance incase they do swing at you.. if they do punch him in the nose and kick him in the stomach..
self defence.. they threw the first swing.

Don't get it. Why is he getting so worked up for? It's what you're suppose to do anyway, isn't it? Well that's what I do.

[nano]

this guy is mental your not the postman your just checking you mail if he wants to ***** at someone he would get mad at the postman....

[MrDisco]

whatever you do don't get drunk and mail him a letter you wrote in your drunken stupor.

[Purelife]

He's one real oddball guy he does some wack **** i'm just glad hes at the end of my street. I know the people that live beside him and they will wake up with all of his garbage bags infront of there house and just werid stuff. He took his broken outside light fixture and switched it with theirs in the night.

[webdoctors]

call da cops, snds like he's trying to steal your mail.

mail theft is serious.

What area (city) do you live in ?

[Purelife]

Scarborough (around the University of Toronto Campus)

I would avoid him at all costs...if he confronts you, then you do what you have to do to protect yourself, but you never know nowadays, seriously...I am aggressive by nature but you have no idea who's packing...so i would probably ignore and then if i felt the situation was getting worse, i'd call the cops

[north77]

smile.. nod.. smile again, and tell him 'no speak english.'

[trixR4kids]

i would have yelled back at him

[masterballer]

i wouldnt talk back to him unless i was packing....

[hagbard]

I don't get it.

[masterballer]

I don't get it.

packing heat ;)

[wali]

Don't you have some friends who can kick the **** of that guy? Don't let any wacko think you're a wimp. Shout back at him and stand your ground.

That's actually awesome, except I would omit the "no speak english" bit. The best weapon against rage is a smile and a nod, imo. This past weekend at the European Grand Prix, Fisichella started yelling (and cussing) at Jacque Villenueve, he just nodded keeping his cool. With any luck, the aggressor will get an anuerism and die. They're not worth your time.

[MadMonarch]

Just do what I do to the angry customer's that walk into my store.

When your leaving, or they're walking away, Yell in a big cheerful voice. "HAVE A GREAT DAY!", and then flash'em a big smile. You'll have ruined their day and still have saved yours!

[hagbard]

No, I don't get what the op is talking about.

[M@rk]

The OP was looking at his mail while at his mailbox, and the wacko thought the OP was looking through his mail in order to put any unwanted mail into the return slot (ie. credit card offers and junk).

I would've smiled, nodded (as suggested) and continue slowly looking though my mail :cheesygri , and say "thank you, have a nice day" when I'm done :cheesygri

How about "Right back at ya big guy!" :D

Just take up some boxing lessons (2 year minimum because it takes awhile to hone the reflexes and develop the second nature instances) and approach him one day wearing a purple man thong and knock him out!

When he is on the ground unconcious, simply walk over to one of his thigh's (pick the meatier juicier one, most likely the right thigh) and chomp on it like what Mike Tyson did to Lennox Lewis at that ill fated press conference a few years back lol.

Make sure you bring some mustard and ketchup just in case the fool with the fake Caribbean accent is not tasty like Lennox.

What the ???

You've been on for a few hours and banned already...could it be because of a post like this???

Maybe I'm thick today but this story doesn't make sense.

If you get someone else's mail, are you not supposed to put it back into the return box so that it WILL go to the correct people? Why would you keep someone else's mail? If I get someone else's mail, I am not going to walk to someone's house and deliver the mail, that is not my job. I would put it back in the mailbox so the postman/woman will be more careful next time and deliver it to the right mailbox.
