The pavers just finished pouring concrete in the drive out front an hour ago and cordoned off the new concrete with large stones and boards. Thirty minutes later the postman shows up with a parcel and stepped over the boards and left his shoeprints all the way to the gate and back. The concrete had set to the point that he didn't sink in it, but he fucked up the finish. I'm sure this is going to be fun trying to get some reimbursement from the post office.

Oh man.. If I had to look at that every day from now on, it would drive me nuts. Nothing short of a complete tear up and repour would do for compensation.

Next time the dumbass postman's feet are in concrete make sure it is at the bottom of the lake.

Sorry to hear that Tex. My mail carrier is a bit odd too. He reads my mail through the envelope. For example, a few weeks ago he said to me "did you get that check the other day" as though he wrote it to me himself.

I delegated this to my wife. In commercial disputes, she has the persistence and tenacity of a rabid woodpecker. She grew up in the Saigon fruit market and this is sport for her. I have seen her treat a $4 dispute as life or death. Most people throw in the towel eventually.

PS: once she had her feet in the air ready to take some woman's nose off over a shoplifted $2 bottle of nail polish.

I'm guessing she was going to shoot a ping-pong ball at her.

The postman claims he threw the package from the street (an impossible shot). My wife told his supervisor that he is a liar, and the supervisor is supposed to come check it out.

The gate that the postman claims he threw the package over is the one to the right of the lime green floaties hanging on the fence. It is a good 25 feet from the road, the gate is about 4 feet high, and there are low hanging limbs over the gate. The postman claims to have thrown the package from the road to a mat immediately inside the gate. NBA, move over, here comes the postman. Attachments:

For the record, the USPS creed makes no mention of wet cement.

A supervisor finally came out and took some pictures. She passed it on to some office in San Antonio. My wife called them yesterday morning and they said they would send a claims form. I could see this going on until next Easter, but my sweet wife will hang with it. A couple of times when the process stalled, she told them she wanted to file a complaint with the postal inspector and that seemed to get things moving again.
