- r/Prorevenge Some neighborhood jerkface decided that he was going to destroy all of the nice mailboxes around town. So when this jerkface destroyed a steelworker's mailbox, that steelworker plotted revenge by constructing a concrete and steel mailbox anchored deep into the ground. The next time the moron tried to destroy the mailbox, he ended up destroying his truck instead! If you like this video and want to see more, subscribe to my channel for more daily Reddit videos!

Hi
CONCRETE/STEEL MAILBOX TAKE THAT CHAD
rSlash concrete/Steel mailbox
Mailbox!!!
Is this the new rock, paper, scissors?
Imagine the distant future archeologists coming across a barren wasteland with insanely durable Mailboxes.
Funny comment for sure, it's not lost on me... bbbuuuttt ...
Unfortunately, nearly every trace of human habitation would be destroyed by nature within about 500 years. The only things that would be able to remain without the regular maintenance required is the Egyptian Pyramids, and other pyramids around the world. The pyramids are so resilient due to being located in the desert, where basically nothing ever changes. They survived the great flood after all, seeing is how (I Believe) they are pre-flood technology.
Weather, ice, vines, and plant growth can devastate the majority of infrastructure in decades without maintenance. The majority of visible signs of human habitation would be invisible after 100 years, including the mailboxes.
My mailbox is solid 316 stainless steel 1' long x 8" wide x 15' deep the thinnest part is 3/4" hinge.
Opens by lifting the recessed lid up and out.
Should last about ... 1200 years. :)
Good idea for the sequel to “Horizon: Forbidden West”. 😎
@@justsoicanfingcomment5814 the great pyramids will probably crumble into dust before that mailbox begins to fall apart lmao
@@coreytaylor5386 Good!
Then everyone will know that this is my mailbox and my property. Maybe I should inscribe my will on it? ;)
Mailboxes getting run over was such a huge problem in my city that the postal office started what they called the "trojan box project".
Basically, they worked with the police to find out where mailboxes where getting hit the most, talked with the owners to see who was the most hit, and secretly reinforced their mailbox.
First month: 21 trucks / 12 cars / 2 minivans totalled.
Second month: 10 trucks / 8 cars / 1 Lamborghini totalled
Third month: 1 truck / 1 car / 1 tractor (drunks stole it and went joyriding, farmer got compisated with a new tractor) totaled
Fourth month: nothing. Trojan box program is shelved and the iron mail boxes are secretly replaced due to road maintenance scheduled next month.
@ ANDREW...LOVE IT! GREAT STORY!
Wonderful solution. Just hope that history doesn't repeat again.
Who has that kind of money that they can just sacrifice a fender or bumper to crunch some stranger's mailbox?
About a month ago I hit a deer out on a back road--she jumped out of the brush as I came up out of a low-water crossing. I yanked the truck to the left to avoid her but ended up sideswiping her. She was a young doe, 70-80 pounds maybe, and I wasn't going fast, maybe 35-40 mph in a Toyota Tundra, a full-sized truck. My passenger headlight, front lower light bar and passenger front fender had to be replaced, and the granf total, including repair of the dinged up door, painting and alignment was over 2 grand. Thank God the side mirror wasn't damaged.
I was young and stupid once but why you'd potentially wreck your ride on purpose is beyond me.

My city is next to a much bigger one with colleges. Most of the idiots were drunk students or random jackasses.
My favorite part of the mailbox stories is that it's a federal crime like the video says. So they will be going to prison for it.
It’s impressive how many people don’t realize that you can easily make indestructible mailboxes
Hello World.....Also impressive that a LOT of people don't understand that messing with a mailbox can get them into SERIOUS TROUBLE!
@@jtc1947 fr i never knew it was a federal offense
Butrint Dana yeah. The mailbox and first few feet of your property up to the sewage hole thing is all government property
Made my parents mailbox out of carefully placed granite slabs, with the mailbox proper set into a recess.
Before college, as a high school student, i worked for a relatives landscaping business, i learned masonry, and other useful skills.
I think becuase in some places ot's actually illegal to do that which is stupid.
My Dad had AT&T, he died in 2013 & I cancelled his phone service, sent them a copy of the death certificate, etc.I still get bills from AT&T for his phone service, and every month they go right in the trash.
Bruh here’s a good idea...
*piss on them. smells nice when you throw it in the fire*
Bruh, here's another idea. Send them a registered letter informing them that any mail received from them will incur a 5k processing fee. When you receive said mail, take them to small claims court. Profit.
@@TimoIvvie piss on them and send them back
I don't have att phone service now. I have consumer cellular service now.
@@TimoIvvie that's why I'll never join AT&T because once you join them you never get out we had DirecTV do they still send us mail and emails claiming that are Direct TV account is still active even though we told them to cancel it and we still have their equipment because they said they don't want it
I worked for AT&T for almost 7 years, and this story sums up their service accurately. Terrible company, terrible training, terrible pricing.
Verizon also awful.
Do you regret working with them?
Based on your experience. With company would you suggest?
At&t are a bunch of thieves
Sprint/T-Mobile was SOOOOO much worse. Sent me to collection because they would not send a box for the 2 phones I had that were old Sprint and not able to be used with T-Mobiles network. Broken phones I might add... Unbelievable.
1: never talk to AT&T, never do a damn thing with them. 2: record everything.

3. Trust no one! Not even yourself!
AT&T screwed me a long time ago and i havent even looked at them as a service provider for me since
Sadly they are the only provider in my area and the other carriers are a dead zone, as soon as I move I’m kicking att to the curb as they have the poorest customer service ever
@@nuclear_turtle we have at&t and it sucks ass
Having a bit of inside info on AT&T, they do some fishy shit. Can’t say too much on that...
We used to have security film of the drunks down the road catching air in their very old mini van off our mailbox. When my husband put it back in the ground he added concrete and rebar (he works on bridges so it's thick ass rebar) next time they hit the mail box they totaled the van 😂😂 wish we would have kept that footage.
God bless #10 rebar
I'm a pretty happy boomer (yeah, I know) and this is the type of regret I tend to have. Not mistakes I made so much as failing to do something, like saving priceless memories like this. This would probably win $10K on AFV.
Dang imagine having to pay more then the car costs or worse having to buy an entirely new car from a mailbox
Lel when emos are good ppl XD
I thought you were emo cuz profile but you were smieleing so I don't think so
About 40 years ago, when I was a kid, we had a similar problem with our mailbox. Except it was the state plow truck that kept smashing it. This is in Vermont so snow was not a rare occurrence. My father did the 4 foot deep hole, steel pipe, concrete and 6 inch post trick. When all that is in ground frozen solid to a depth of, at least, 3 feet it stopped the plow truck kitty-corner in the road with a damaged plow blade. That mailbox is still standing proudly.
I heard about one guy that happened to. It seemed that when he complained, the hits to his letterbox INCREASED! He finally had enough and so the reinforced letterbox went up and it TOTALLED a plough lorry! He said that the tracks from the lorry showed that it had turned like it was targetting the letterbox.
random guy: going to crash his truck to the mailbox
Mailbox: *_you dare oppose me mortal_*
i laughed, here have my internet point.
It sounds like the mailbox is inserting dominance
I think I laughed harder than I should have at that. Good job.
Haha wow another top comment that is generic
I'd have gone with a bunker esque mailbox super welded together reinforced with steel and concrete (about six or seven feet down)... then dared them to try and tear it apart without losing something (including a gallon of gas).
I like the idea that somewhere, out there, there's a town where mailboxes are waiting, standing as the unbreakable shield that will protect every other mailbox on the street from morons in their mother's cars.

My old Sunday school teacher used to be a Mailman. He has one great story about mailboxes and it goes like this. 3 teens would walk up and down the street at night with bats and bash in every mailbox. Well one WW2 vets had enough, went outside in night with his shotgun and waited. The teens walk towards his house laughing, when out if the darkness. “You boys better stop bashin in the mailboxes or I’ll hang yer asses up as trophies. That got them to stop, and it’s still the funniest story to tell while drunk.
"Hang yer asses up as trophies" best line ever
@@st4ndg4mes87 agree lol
That is how you know that vet ain’t fuckin around!
Literally anyone : *le commit bash on mailbox*
Ww2 vets : *now here’s what we call a slaughter*
In California he would be arrested.
We had a guy when I was a kid that would hit mailboxes with his truck, so my dad did pretty much the same thing. It caused a huge fiasco because it split the front of his truck open like a shot pop can and sent him to the hospital... he still went to prison after they confirmed that he repeatedly destroyed multiple mailboxes everytime they were replaced. This dudes lucky he was smart enough to tow them, and not just run them over
Have my own mailbox story. When I was a kid, we lived just outside of a medium size city. This was farm country, so most of the roads were gravel. The thing about gravel roads is that normal traffic will push the gravel off to the edges of the road, so the county would run a road grader (big funny looking 6 wheeled machine) over the roads periodically to push the piled up gravel back out onto the road where it belonged. This machine had a snowplow-like blade that moves the gravel around and extends out wider than the tires so it can grab gravel at the far edges of the road. That also means that if the grader operator isn't careful, he can clip mailboxes with the blade. If your mailbox is mounted on a wooden post this machine can easily snap the post. This happened to our mailbox more than once, which annoyed my Dad. So he decided to up the ante. He got a pair of six inch wide pieces of steel angle iron and sunk them into the ground (don't know how deep) on either side of the mailbox to reinforce it. He was watching the next time the road grader came by. He said that when the blade clipped that giant piece of steel, it almost knocked the operator out of his seat! It did leave a dent in the steel, but the mailbox was still standing straight and tall. My Dad never had problems with the mailbox getting knocked down after that.

Teenagers on the local baseball team went on a mail box smashing spree. They targeted my grandpa's mail box, first in a row of 5. Little did they know my grandpa was a body man and spent the next two nights crafting a 3/4 inch stainless steel mail box affixed to a heavy duty 3imch steel pipe filled with concrete surrounded by wood to look unsuspecting. Less than a week later a broken aluminum baseball bat was found in the ditch and one of the baseball players arms was in a sling. My grandpa's neighbors awarded him with beer and BBQ.
The first story reminds me of the time my mother had phone call with AT&T. The telemarketer talking to her was downright disrespectful and condescending. My mother was pissed about that and asked how she could sleep at night. And their response? "Like a newborn baby." Mom got livid and hung up in anger. Another lady called 10 minutes later, profusely apologizing and telling her that the telemarketer got fired, but mom was NOT having it. She already switched to another carrier and dissuaded people from AT&T since
We got Bell in Canada, it's as bad.
Wow. I never knew at&t where that terrible. No wonder they keep spamming ads on tv.
I agree with your mother's solution, If the company doesn't hire and emphasize the respectfulness of all employees, they can go pound sand and lose money because they don't deserve our business.
I use virgin mobile for my phone service. I have had no problems with them whatsoever or at least none that have stuck out as much as the AT&T guys in this video.
I feel sorry for the poor honest AT&T guys that have to put up with this as a result of their colleagues' lousy actions, or honest compared to the rest at least.
Shymiera Entwisle lmao i have at&t and the customer service is trash
About 5 years ago I was wondering why my credit score was crap when it wasn't before ... ends up at that time 2 bank accounts that I closed about 20 years ago were not properly closed and were collecting monthly charges for 15 years before sending the accounts to collections !! Good thing I kept my paper work from the bank that proved I did indeed close the accounts
Reminds me of an email provider who "gifted" me 3 months of premium for my birthday. I thought why not and tried it. Of course instantly after i get told that after the trial period a 1 year subscription starts automatically (yeah i was a bit naive). So i instantly made a notice for myself with the day before the free trial ends and right at that day (one day before it expired) i cancelled that stuff. Cancelling was only possible via phone to make it extra inconvenient. Woman on phone was nice, i received a confirmation email that it is cancelled and so on. And then few days later the bill comes in asking for 5€ a month. I ignored it, printed our the confirmation email and went on with my time. Few mails later (that i again ignored) their talk became more drastic. I was supposed to pay extra fees and they threatened with legal actions, doing the big balls thing to scare me off by giving information about their attorney and their collection agency they cooperate with. I then answered sending a screenshot of their confirmation email saying that I am looking forward to a trial having all the proof that i need to be 100% free of guilt.
Next mail was passive aggressive that i should have cancelled earlier because by then their "automatic" procedure already started. Well, ain't my fault is it? Never again, the premium was not even worth it, it literally had zero impact for me.

It’s been enough years to tell this story, gotta love statue of limitations:
So me & some buddies were drinking in the garage, we heard screeching tires in our quiet neighborhood and we were shocked when the loud car peeled around our corner and pulls right into my driveway, guy jumps out, runs straight towards us but turns right, huddles the fence, cuts through my yard, hops another fence and is gone into the night... about 20 mins later some cops roll up, we tell em “dudes gone but this is his car, tow this shit outta here”. Cops say they can’t tow it and tell me just to leave it and hopefully they’ll catch him when he comes back for it. So I’m pissed, I moved out of a shitty city to a nice quiet suburb to get away from this crap and now I got this clowns car in my driveway. But whatever. We continue chillin in the garage drinkin beers til the wee hours of the morning. As we continue to get more beers flowing me n the boys have a brilliant idea, we grab a Jack and remove the tires leaving dudes car up on bricks. A little while later the cops roll back by and die laughing, they say “we didn’t say this but we love it” I also called my mom who ran a auto repair shop a few miles down the road and told her to have one of her guys drop it at the impound lot first thing in the morning.
Bout a month later the sad saps girl shows up knocking on my door trying to get money from me, I tell her I have no idea what the cops did with his car. She bought my story. Haha idiots. His tires are still on my brothers boat trailer. 😎
This is crazy.
I loved it.
May I narrate it?
This is hilarious! I love this story.
When I was young we had an issue with the mail box issue. One neighbor did fill his box with cement and a couple of days later heard a bang, scream and car taking off. He called the police and they found the perp at the hospital with a broken arm and dislocated shoulder. Baseball bat against cement mailbox.....mailbox wins.
Yikes

A few years back, we bought and installed one of those thin-wall square tube mailbox posts along with a nice new mailbox. A month after installing it, some jackass bumped it and bent the shit out of the tube, it wasn't too badly damaged to be reused, but considering that it was supposed to be brand new, it looked like crap. I went back to our local Lowes and the sales guy suggested that I buy and pour some quick-set concrete inside the tube this time. A month to the day after I made this change, the same genius once again struck the post. And although the post had to be reinstalled so that it was vertical again, the guy's plastic bumper cover was left twisted and unusable beside the mailbox.
Payback sucks AND blows, eh?

With that AT&T story I mean I absolutely felt that because my parents had to go through the same bullshit. AT&T is a scam company and I would never sign a deal with them.
I have a mailbox story too.
When my family and me moved in to our house. We moved onto a old meat packing home. The mail box is made out of 40 lb cast iron and is set in concerete.
Apparently the previous owner said it was made that way so people could drive up and pick up meat out of it inside would be a block of ice to keep the meat cool.
So after the meat plant closed he cleaned and kept it as a mailbox.
So far my parents have had 3 teenage idiots try to hit it and break their arms or headz.
We even had a moron hit it and total his car.

Peaceful Dusk no, just don’t
I went through the same thing and as ATT and collections screwed me around, I filed a complaint with the FCC! Do not bother with the BBB, that is useless and companies pay them to be a member and they will NEVER side with a customer against a large corporation. As soon as I received a certified letter from the FCC that my complaint was filed and on record, I would receive another letter giving me a date of arbitration should ATT fail to resolve the complaint, and if Arbitration fails I can request an appeal and get another arbitration where I could personally appear before the board to state my case. And if that failed to be satisfactorily remedied I had the right to appear to ATT's annual renewal hearing before the FCC to state my case and make the case permanent on ATT's application for a license to operate. This is not a good thing should it happen because if a communication company gets too many logged and unresolved complaints on their FCC filing for license renewal, it costs them money in extra fees and could ultimately cause them to not get a license renewal with the FCC. It is a long and BS bureaucracy and does cost some money in filing fees but is well worth it. The first filling of an FCC complaint is at no cost but to take it all the way will cost you. BUT, the very next day of receiving the FCC latter, ATT called me and informed me all charges were dropped and they assured me no further collection action would be taken and they would provide me with letters for the 3 credit agencies to keep clear my records of any further strikes. They also sent me a letter to sign for the FCC that the complaint was resolved to my satisfaction and I wanted to close and remove it from the record. F**k ATT! I returned that letter with a F**k You in a red sharpie and sent in my own letter describing all that accused and sent a copy to ATT. I requested that the FCC close the case as it was rectified but requested it stay on file with the FCC and ATT's application for license renewal! Consumers have that right! And that is what accrued. In the end, not only were all charges waved, I received interest on the fees and received funds for reasonable legal costs, and was given a 1-year service at co cost. I represented myself to the legal money that was mine to keep. I submitted a retracted letter as ATT requested but still added all that accused with regard to the case and that letter is on file but does not show up on future FCC filings. If you get screwed by any company or financial institution, you find the federal regulatory agency that grants them a license to operate and file a case of complaint. 9 out of 10 they will bend over to make it right! And you do not have to pay a lawyer. It is BS you have to do it but it is necessary to protect your credit. And as far as collections go, NEVER admit to who you are and deny the debt and if possible record them as well. The burden of proof is on them and you can take them to small claims court if they file a strike against you on your credit record. They have got to prove you are you and the debt is yours. That is not as easy as it sounds. If you get a letter, mail it back as undeliverable by returning it back to your post office. If they do take you to court or you have to take them to court, demand to see the contract in question and your signature on it proving you failed to pay in bad faith. They will not have it and again, the burden of proof is on them. And you file a countersuit. 9 out of 10 they will not go that far but if it does that will shut them down and you will be entitled to restitution from all collection agencies involved. And they know it. Do not let them intimidate you. They have to prove you are you and the debt is yours. :)
Thank you for this info.
Awesome. Thanks.
Looks like FCC is more powerful than IRS
Re: Story #1. It was a happy day when I was finally able to dump ATT for my internet service, as our local electric co-op installed fiber. That was my last service remaining with those crooks. I had dumped their land line many years ago and went to a voip service, and then did an end run around them for cell service by using Tracfone, which still uses ATT towers, but without the ATT overpricing. And story #2. My exes grandmother had an old getaway place out in the middle of nowhere in Vermont that a neighbor kept an eye on for her. We went there once for a weekend getaway, and , of course, the neighbor came over to investigate. Once he found out who we were he started chatting about the area. one thing he told us about was how, in the winter, one of the smart ass plow drivers would get his kicks by plowing down mail boxes. One neighbor got fed up and decided to teach the fool a lesson. Just like the guy in the story, he acquire a piece of I beam and planted it into the ground, mounted the mailbox, and camo'd it to look like wood. The neighbor said that the first (and last) time that the plow driver hit it during the next snowfall spun the entire truck around 180 degrees in the road and bent the hell out of the plow assembly. That was the last time any mailboxes were destroyed.
Ok
When I had ATT internet service, it was off more than on and working. I canceled service and got Satellite internet.
I can sympathize about awful AT&T internet. In my case it was CenturyLink. They basically had a monopoly on internet in my area and hadn't upgraded the lines in decades (probably since the lines were run by one of the baby bells or even AT&T before they got split). I was lucky to get 12Mbps. Well, until a local ISP got a state grant and put in fiber. I signed the easement agreement to let them run fiber for me and my neighbors as fast as I could. And dumped CenturyLink first chance I got. I now have fiber right into my mechanical room and an ISP where the very technical owner usually answers the phone.
AT&T won’t even notice hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost profit.
well, the company might not as a whole, but someones getting in trouble for losing that much money...
Exactly what I came to look for it won’t make a dent in there budget
They don't care and won't look into it. It's a company that paided 82 billion to buy time warner and anyone can be fire for the littlest thing there, I'm an ex employee. Those hundreds of thousands are less than a drop in the bucket to at&t.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars not in profit. Their profit margin isn’t 100%. Plus this takes years to accumulate. Also all it takes is a persuasive att sales person to talk to another city counsel member and have them back in service.
Man in story one thought he was a white knight hero, but in reality people probably get tired of his shit after a week of knowing him.
@@chadd990 the operative word here is persuasive salesman. I cut ties with AT&T almost 20 years ago due to a similar experience and never looked back. About 5 years ago I was accosted on my lawn by some flunky from AT&T offering deals to everyone in my neighborhood under some program that boiled down to "please take another look at us, we don't suck as bad as we used to." ( I believe there had just been a major judgement against them in a class action that got a lot of negative publicity.)
In any case, the fact that they had to send people out to try and persuade people to reconsider AT&T suggests the OP's experience was common and their bottom line was indeed hurt. One city contract for 6 grand a month (72k/year) is not small change; multiply that by thousands of little towns and businesses and I don't care who you are, that hurts.

I think I can top all the mailbox stories. I grew up in the sticks, and we had a mailbox problem. My dad had enough so he got a 4" square steel tube 1/4 " thick 10 feet long that was the post, filled that with cement and the hole I think was drilled by the telephone company with same depth and size for a telephone pole, was filled with more concrete. The mailbox was also 1/4" steel and big. He painted the post black and the mailbox RED. A week goes by (which was good for the concrete) and we start seeing baseball bat markings. Next we find tire marks, trying to push the box over.. another week goes by. This is where it gets good, we find a chain and the back axle of a car in the ditch, not sure what happened to the rest of the car. A few months goes by and this time we hear the huge explosion. The drive way was a quarter mile long. Some of the neighbors closer by had some of there windows shatter. It turns out these idiots robbed the national guard getting some hand grenades. They threw one into out mailbox. Dad built this mailbox to take a beating, it only blew off the door (that was welded on); we found the door on the other side of the road. Well this time these idiots made such a noise that all the neighbors came out and seen them driving off. FBI was called in, and from the fingerprints off the door, and other evidence they got several years in federal prison, and solved the national guard theft.
Norco is a well-known horse/cowboy community in Southern CA. Teens would drive around in their trucks and lasso mailboxes with ropes attached to their bumpers. After losing several mailboxes, my quiet, office worker dad decided to sink an extra railroad tie deep into the dirt and put a mailbox on top. Yup, a few weeks later, we "caught" a bumper. Mailbox still stands there today.
a *Railroad Tie?* SERIOUSLY?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome!
@@LongboatLtd2004 that's the best way to describe something that was invented to be just that.
When I was a kid we lost a couple mailboxes in this manner. My Dad got one of those big ones, put a piece of 4" well casing in it and filled the rest of the space with Sakrete. It got hit once more, I bet that guy couldn't feel his right hand for a few days.
You shouldn’t do that. Rumour has it that jerking off with a numb hand feels way better.
lol it’s not a rumor anymore
We had this problem. I massed some concrete in a large tub and stuck a truck coil spring into it. It stuck up about nine inches. I had a friend weld a steel plate to the spring and we cut a hole and welded a steel pipe into it. Then another large steel plate the size of the mailbox bottom on top of that. (mailboxes are cheap) We bolted the mailbox on that.Then we dug a hole and planted the concrete base and placed heavy angle iron spikes criss-crossing the concrete and digging into the soil. Then we covered it all with rocks. Problem solved when a wrecker came to tow a four wheel drive truck with the rear bed blown out and the frame warped.
@ ROD....BEAUTIFUL!
Why do people steal mail boxes in the US? I can understand teens breaking them for fun, but i don't understand why they would be stolen. Is it to sell? Or for fun as well?
@@marinacrespo1 From most of the stories that I have seen, the personal mail boxes are not stolen for profit. It is a matter of total vandalism.

I lived down a 250' driveway towards the end of a mile long dead end road in South Florida and lifted pickups used to start at the dead end and drive over the mail boxes while straddling the shoulder. After almost a year of replacing or repairing my mailbox I decided to get even. I poured a two foot wide by two foot deep footer and a concrete block with poured solid core with rebar into the footer for a column. I wrapped the column in cedar to make it look like wood. Time marched on and the mailbox project soon became an afterthought. Some months later I was awakened around 3am in the night by a noise, I got up and sleepily looked around and went back to bed. The next morning while walking my dog I saw my mailbox leaning 30 degrees to the side and a huge area of oil soaked sand. I called the police to see if there was any report but they said none had been reported and to call tow truck services in the area. Eventually I found a service that said they were called out at 3:30am to my address. The tow operator told me that the truck engine had been dislodged, forced into the cab and ended up on the ground. He also stated the impact had driven the rear axle out from under the frame, the vehicle was totaled. It took them two tow trucks to haul it all away. Ahhhhh, satisfaction.
We used to live in a house at the end of a long street. The street passed our house on the left and ended at a cross street in a T. Local teens would race down the street and cut the corner getting on the cross street, running over our shrubbery . This happened several times until my dad got fed up. He buried 1" thick rebar, set in concrete with a foot of rebar left above the concrete. The rebar was buried INSIDE the shrubbery. About two weeks later we hear a commotion outside one evening. We run out to hear a car disappearing in the distance. We check out the shrubs and find one of the rebar bent over, scraps of metal on the ground, and a thick trail of Oil leading off in the direction of the increasingly loud car engine sounds. No one ever cut through our yard again.
I love it. So deserved.
10:19 It only tilted?! Damn thing goes up into the engine block farther than a thong and it only tilts? *That* is the handiwork of a true craftsman.
Imagine the kinetic energy it too just to tilt it, lol!
Seen a loaded semi drive slowly into an 8" pipe filled with concrete. $30,000 damage to the truck. Scratched the paint on the post.
That's why the man was then able to see them to the locals, lol.
That's a regular here, but replace the mailbox with a hand pump. Do not fuck with a hand pump. Specially the old ones
These things go deep to get water and put the physics of levers in play here and you'll find a very wrecked car, a lightly damaged pump, and a very annoyed neighborhood (cause your wreckage is an incovenience for getting water)

The same thing happened to one of my teachers (he was the kind that did more story telling than teaching)
When he was a kid, there were always the teenagers going up and down smashing mailboxes with a baseball bat. So one day his dad gets fed up and FILLS THE ENTIRE MAILBOX WITH CONCRETE. The next night, they sit by the window and wait. Soon enough, they see a car racing down the road with a gangly teen hanging out the window with a bat. As they come down the street smashing mailboxes, they get to his he hits it, and he is literally pulled out of the car. His friends in the car realize what happened and race away just leaving him.
Run cowards run... we got the meat now.
Wow, what great friends he has.
I lived in the country near a city that had a University with a reputation as a party school. On Weekend nights the students would drive around rural areas and drive over mailboxes. My neighbor, who farmed and worked in a steel fabrication shop, got tired of replacing his mailbox. He had a mailbox created out of 1/4 inch rolled steel. He got a ten foot piece of railroad iron, sank it to the appropriate depth, welded the improved postal box on the top and poured three yards of concrete around it to make sure it wasn't going anywhere. A couple of Saturday's later there was a crash out by the road. A very worried student knocked on his door asking for help. (This was before cell phones.) The truck he'd been driving was nearly perpendicular. The mailbox was fine. The tow bill had to be astronomical, 11:30 pm on a weekend. The farmer also called the sheriff. Underage, DUI and the kid had to call his parents to come get him because he couldn't drive.
Same kinda thing happened to my mailbox as a kid, we lived down a road with a canal along it and was to narrow for the mail truck to turn around, so everyone that lived on that road had their mailboxes at the top of it along the main road (about 10 mailboxes in a row) Between vandals and snowplows nobody could keep a mailbox standing for longer than a year. My dad has a welding background so instead of buying a mailbox and beefing it up he built one out of ⅜ steel, welded to a ⅜ thick, 4 inch diameter steel pipe, then he burried it 6 feet and used 5 bags of concrete to set it. For the next 17 years it took multiple snowplow hits, laughed at vandals baseball bats and even claimed a few side mirrors of off cars passing to close. My fondest memory of it was when the state widened to road their excavator couldn't pull it up even after digging around the concrete, so they just used a cutting torch to cut the steel post off below ground level and burry the rest. It makes me smile knowing that part of the old mailbox is still there under SR68 at dad's place.
Does anyone else notice that he said “3 foot” diameter instead of 3 inches? Really not trying to hate but I thought it was funny because that would be a huge mailbox!
that might be right. for the base of it buried in the ground. i saw one on a wooden post and that post is in an old steel milk container over 1ft in diameter, it was sunk in to the ground
*_B i g B o y M a i l b o x_*

You are all missing the point.
It said 3", not 3'.

My youngest and his friends loved to drift in thier cars. We would see thier mistakes in the a.m. . I asked him what was the mailbox in the back of my jeep for. He said he wanted to replace the one they hit the night before so he took the damaged one to through away and left him a brand new one in his yard. He is so nice...
We had one of those mailbox stories when I was in high school. My mom's mailbox had been destroyed multiple times. She had a friend weld together of 3/8th in steel with a metal post filled with concrete. She never needed another mailbox. Even the door was 3/8 in steel with welded on hinges.
The tried and true steel beam mailbox box in concrete. The absolute chad of roadside obstacles.
About 5 years ago I found my parents mailbox in pieces at the driveway, figured some dummies went mailbox batting. My dad then built a steel cylinder mailbox and painted it to appear as plastic, we never got the satisfaction of the culprit breaking their arm because they shortened our road to a dead end but I thoroughly enjoyed hearing these stories.
Idiot: Say hello to my truck!
Mailbox: I'm about to end this man's whole career.

A story I was told but can't confirm was from a friend whose father had lost two mailboxes. Yahoos driving along and using baseball bats. He did the opposite of what those in your video did. He built a box out of balsa wood sheets. Just light and very flimsy. In fact heavy winds would have ripped it off the post. Told the post office not to deliver to it. The door didn't open anyway. He filled it with thin plastic trays holding different coloured oil paints, paint removers and commercially purchased hunting scents. (He was a hunter so already had lots of that. ) Sounds like he might have put dog crap in there too. The friend said standing anywhere near the box was terrible with the smell. Then the father waited. I don't know how long he had to wait but one day, sure enough, the box was gone and strewn all over the ground and pavement was the oil paints and a terrible smell. He can't be sure but only hopes the car/truck, bat and the hitter were also covered with this stuff. A while later he replaced his mailbox and never had another problem with it.
I grew up in Chicago where it snows a lot. Back in the 1990's, I was living in an apartment building where people set out their lawn chairs to "save" their parking spaces in front of the building. They would "borrow" other people's lawn chairs to save their space; even if they were just visiting from another neighborhood. One day, I was moving out of that neighborhood so the day before, I borrowed my dad's welder and when the moving truck was all loaded up, I used the welder to fuse together all the lawn chairs into one giant sculpture and left it in the middle of the road before starting the truck and leaving. I was told that they people in that neighborhood were looking for me to kick my ass.

My dad built a brick mailbox filled with concrete. Everytime someone knocks a mirror or something off, he puts it up as a trophy in the front yard
gotta watch that. If someone were to crash into the mailbox on accident and be killed or seriously injured your dad could be in a lot of trouble. There made to be breakaway for this very reason. Depends where you live but many dont allow you to make them out of anything that wont easily give way to a car hitting it.
I had a city snow plow driver that kept hitting my mailbox (lived in the country) I finally got fed up and I rented a skid steer and moved a large boulder up next to the mailbox. This thing was large enough the skid steer could barely move it. Then I placed the mailbox on a piece of steel I beam 10 feet long and only 4 feet above ground set in concrete. After the first heavy snow of the year I hear a crash in front of the farm house and there's a plow truck with the plow ripped off, a split boulder, and a trench from the mailbox ripping through the soil for a few feet. Plow truck was totaled and the driver was fired.

I knew a guy who moved into a small rental house next to a farmers field. He told me how the farmer routinely would be plowing or aerating his fields with those big disc aerators. Each time he came to the end of the field next to the guys house he would swing his tractor wide and clip the mailbox knocking it down every time. The man said he would confront to farmer, but to no avail he refused to pay for the damages. So the guy who worked in construction decided to make himself an indestructible mailbox like the ones you describe. This time as the farmer swings his tractor around the mailbox didn't budge and sheared off 3 of the large round disc's. Sure enough the farmer comes to this guys door wanted him to pay for the farming implement. The guy just stood there and laughed in his face. "Go ahead", "Call the sheriff" the farmer just walked away and he never hit the guys mailbox again.

When I was a kid my parents built a new house. For the mail box post my Dad used a steel column that he had gotten from someone he knew who did foundation repairs and replacements. The steel column was used as part of a jack to lift a home off it's foundation. Solid is definitely a word that would pertain to it. Just after moving the next summer some kids one night were driving around clipping off mail boxes. The hit our box, it moved slightly. I was in high school when this happened and that very day in the cafeteria I heard some kids talking about how they were clipping mail boxes when the hit one box and tore up the car badly. Hood, bumper, fender, door. Turns out that was our mail box. I've since bought the home I grew up in. When the city was replacing the road they pulled out all of the mail boxes and once the work was done reinstalled them. To put our post back in they had to use a tractor with a post hole digger to get far enough down. They asked me what it was made out of. I told them what it was and the car story. They all had a good laugh over it.
That happened to my Grandpa's family back in the 40s. Some drunk teenagers would go mailbox mowing with a model A at night. So my family buried a piece of rail from the railroad deep in the ground, poured concrete and put a mail box on top of the rail. The family woke up to the sound of a loud crash and found an abandoned model A wrapped around the mailbox.
That first story is super relatable because I've been the complaints representative on the other end!
I don't know how it is in the US, but here in the UK whenever a contract is taken like that in store we need proof via contract - if there's nothing in writing then we have no evidence what's been said.

This reminded me so much of an experience in my hometown when I was growing up. Our one of our neighbor couples were major gardening types. They put a heck of a lot of time and effort into their yard, and it showed. Then a time came where someone apparently took that as a challenge, much like one of the stories in the video. I walked down the street one day to see their mailbox destroyed and tire ruts across their yard and through one of the flower beds they took so much pride in. The husband was in his yard with a fairly large piece of equipment that he informed me was a smelter. He had already set a four inch square of some sort of ceramic pipe into a four foot deep, three foot diameter hole he had then filled with concrete (I didn't get out early enough to see the backhoe or concrete truck, but apparently they'd been there). He informed me he was smelting a large quantity of what he described as gun barrel steel, that he later used to fill up the square ceramic pipe. Because the pipe color was a dull reddish brown, you had to look closely to realize it wasn't a wood post. On top he mounted a nice brand new mailbox, but he didn't stop there. He had also obtained a steel frame tine harrow from a local farmer friend. This is basically a large, strong steel frame with multiple steel rows, and strong metal spikes welded on every few inches down every row. They're used with the spikes pointed down to loosen and smooth rough dirt. But my neighbor dug little trenches for all the framing pieces and buried the whole thing with the tines pointing up. You would see it in the daytime if you were paying attention and looked right at it, but it was totally invisible when the sun went down. I have no idea where he got all this stuff or how he knew how to use it all, but he did. Nothing happened for several days but one night I heard a crash. I wasn't old enough to go out that late at night but the aftermath was still there the next morning. The pickup truck in question went through the yard first, where all four tires were shredded. Then it hit the mailbox post. The post did tilt a little, which I think was more the dirt having moved than the steel post actually bending. The front end of the truck was essentially destroyed. But the tilt in the post caused what was left of the truck to go airborne. The whole truck never left the ground, and it didn't go far. But it rose up just enough, and went forward just enough, that the cab was skewered by the post when it came back down. It went through the cab right next to the teenage driver. I never did see where the actual mailbox ended up. I didn't know the kid, but I'd seen him around town a few times (it was a small town). I never saw him after that. I know he was arrested and had minor injuries from the crash, but I don't know what the final disposition of the case was, nor why I never saw him again.
Just to add some context to the last story, there is nothing illegal or dishonest about multilevel marketing (MLM). The problem was most likely the performance issues, along with violations of the solicitation and noncompete rules. Or, alternatively, they could have been referencing an actual pyramid scheme, which are both dishonest and illegal, rather than an MLM. A lot of urban legends over the years have caused quite a few people to confuse the two. Avon is an MLM. Tupperware first established their market share as an MLM, before switching emphasis to retail. The Federal Trade Commission has info at www.ftc.gov/public-statements/1998/05/pyramid-schemes, and in other places if you're interested. No, it's not an issue near and dear to my heart, but I have seen friends and acquaintances accused of dishonesty and even fraud over these misconceptions. Plus I'm somewhat of a stickler for people being aware of facts as opposed to rumors or the like.

Lmao. My Great Uncle did something similar. Some punks were going through the back country of southern Idaho either hitting mailboxes with bats or running them over. My Great Uncle, after they hit his and destroyed it, got pissed. He took a small mailbox and put it inside a huge mailbox and filled the space in with concrete. He attached it to a 6" diameter steel rod that was 25' ling and buried it 20' down in concrete at least 2' wider all the way around. Anyone who hit it with a bat was instantly sorry and anyone who ran it over either got a 250 lbs "Brick" in their radiator or in their laps. He happily replaced it a few times over the years when someone ran it over... At their expense of course. Total project cost a couple hundred dollars easy and the idiots who ran it over had to pay it along with all the other costs. The morons who hit it with a bat he never saw them, just heard the shrieks of pain and smiled. My Great Uncle was not a Nice Guy when you pissed him off.

Attract the problem.
Get the solution.
I had a coworker friend many years ago that had problems with mailbox getting wrecked. He did two things. One of course was a railroad rail for a post sunk in 500 pounds of concrete and a tire rim-so it looked like it was just sitting there. Almost destroyed the car. Another was wiring up an M80 firecracker in the ditch near the mailbox with a mercury switch on the mailbox lid. Heard the car coming after dark. Heard the firecracker go off and squalling tires. No more problems.

There's a cost to doing business, but there's no cost to cost cutting - at least no traceable or provable cost. So it continues in every large corporation.
Good morning, afternoon or evening everyone! (Depending on where you're from ams what time of day it is for you.)
I hope you all have an amazing week and find some measure of joy in each and every day.
And same to you kind stranger! Xx
Don't do that don't give me hope
