[QUOTE="Fishbulb, post: 365165, member: 10981"] only had two close calls while on route & both ended without confrontation thankfully. 1st time i was parked in front of a strip mall sort of near the mailbox, wasnt blocking the mailbox but was close enough to it that people couldnt drive up & just drop their mail in the slot, was nowhere else to park. Some fat lazy redneck guy got out & started screaming at me because he had to walk 5 feet to put his mail in the box, yelling that UPS drivers think we own the road & if I parked there again he'd do more to me than just yell at me. I walked away & waved with a sh** eaten grin. Second time I was in a "not so nice" neighborhood & i had just gotten back into the truck when some 16 year old or so punk kid jumped onto the drivers side door & asked me about 7 times(literally) if i had a package for him, getting more confrontational each time he asked. I just kept laughing at him & saying "No man, i dont but please get off the truck I'm real busy today". Then he asked me to give him a lift up the street to the liquor store. Finally I said to him "Get the friend* off the truck or you're gonna have a package shoved down your throat" & I started slowly rolling away & he eventually got the message. I prolly should've kept my cool a little better but when you're having a bad day that kinda crap is the last thing you need. Its like those a-holes who ask you "Hot enough for ya out there?" when its about 95 degrees with 85% humidity. [/QUOTE]
