Advice on Getting Mail
we live in a house and we have curbside mailboxes. about 1 foot away, stands my neighbor's mailbox. and 2 feet in front of that, my neighbor frequently parks her car. when i say frequent, i mean damn near everyday.
our mail carrier is driving the mail truck and we can't expect him to get out everytime some car is blocking the boxes, because then he would never finish his routes. as a matter of fact, according to the local post office, you are supposed to leave the boxes unblocked during post office business hours.
so she's been parking there in excess of a year now. and the mail carrier has left numerous messages on her windshield asking her not to park there. well, she still does. the worst case, i got a dump of mail with 4 days of back mail all at once. meaning she had her car there for at least 4 days straight.
i've spoken to her and she's laughed at me once for it. chuckling and making snide remarks like, 'hey mom, he thinks we're not gettin mail cuz i park there'. recently, she has finally admitted that her car there is the problem, but comes up with the bullshit that 'it's not my fault.' or 'i can't help it, i think i'm going to leave early, but i don't'. problem with that, she comes home from who knows where at 4 am and the mail is delivered near 10 am.
her mom has yelled at her many a times to not park there cuz they are expecting bills and what not. and as it turns out, we do expect bills as well.
there's plenty of room on the street, as a matter of fact, there are no cars in front of her or behind her on either sides of our driveways. hell, there's room across the street, but her fat lazy ass won't park there.
so i figure i had to do something and called the local post office to see if i could pick up the mail there. apparently i can't because that's a service they offer to customers who pay 1200 bucks a month.
we are after all neighbors so i don't want to call the cops as the post office suggested. i've tried talking to her. and i've tried talkin to the post office. any one have any ideas short of me pulling out 2 floor jacks and moving her car?
the latter of the options would be difficult cuz we live on a hill. thanks
