Did either the UPS driver or the neighbor have it coming? 'cause that would make it cooler.

Why are you so happy about it?

UPS and FedEx don't even bother driving into our driveway. It's not steep, it's not curved, and it's really not that long. They always park out on the street. It's a good thing they don't pull into the driveway, though. In the four years that we've been living here, our mailbox has been destroyed three times by people trying to back out. And according to my sister who has a friend that knew someone that lived here previously, it happened twice in the year or so before we moved in.

A Purolator driver backed into one of my brick driveway posts before. Ridiculous considering the drivaway is about 30 feet wide. But hey, they cut a check for $800 and all I had to do was stand the post back up.

Not happy, just something different.

Wow, not only does UPS damage packages they also damage the house of the person getting the package. Very thorough.

Actually my UPS driver is really cool, we grew up not far from each other. Thankfully this was a temp, I guess my guy has the day off.

This one kept screaming fvck, fvck, so apparently it wasn't a really good career move for him.

Any chance you got a recording of this incident and not just a photo?

A couple of days ago a BFI garbage truck driver backed into the balcony of one of the apartments in my building. Did a ton of damage too. The wall is all coming down, and the raiiling is completely smashed up. They had to put big wood braces going down to the ground in to keep the side of the balcony from collapsing.

could you circle the damage in the pic... I'm not seeing it. Or did you snap the picture right before the accident?

I think it's the post-damage pic, looks to me like some paint rubbed off on the edge of the truck and the wood on the balcony is splintered or cracked a little.

Note the UPS truck indent and crack. The crack goes the full length of the wood.

Where is the damage?

The white stuff in the ridge of the truck top is all balcony remnants. Not so visually impressive but it sounded like Starr Jones was trying to break into a ham truck.
