Well, I didn't get hit, but you can say that my mailbox is an extension of me. So I did get hit.
Let me set the stage: I live at the end of a cul de sac of a farely wealthy area, my next door neighbors to one side own a couple car dealerships, and to the other side own a large real-estate firm. The school bus for Emmerton Elementary comes down my street every day, drops off a neighbor kid, then turns around. I'm always worried about getting a car hit, so I never ever park in the street, especially since amerika is land of the hit and run.
Well, today it turned around, backed up, and went right into my mailbox. It left yellow paint and everything. I didn't see it happen, because I was inside, on the other side of the house. One of my neighbors alerted me to this, after I went outside. The driver didn't leave a note or anything. Classy, eh?
Supposedly I call the school board, and they come out and fix it. I don't see how they're going to fix it, considering the damage to the foundation, so. It looks like I get to decide on a new mailbox.
