Three years ago, they demanded I put a box by the road, because the box on the house was taking up too much time for delivery. I refused, and they finally threatened to stop delivery, which I know they legally can't. After a thrilling and rather enjoyable romp in the nuances of 'try and make me, fuckers!', I let it go for another few months. I found a nice box and pole one day and decided to put it up. She bashed into it two weeks later. I fixed it, and a month later I find it in the driveway again. I bought a shitty pole and box, and she hit it once again, but this time it didn't fall...it stand in that manner to this day.
It takes two hands to open and close it. I sleep well at night knowing she has to put extra effort into delivering my mail again.
