OP, do you have a grill guard on your truck?
A grill guard? OP lives in the middle of Plano. No person who lives inside the city limits with a pickup that never leaves pavement would ever feel the need to own a truck with a grill guard, right?


Plano is the burbs. It's not inside city limits.


Dafuq? Plano is most certainly inside the city limits. The city limits of Plano. No, it's not Dallas proper. But it's still certainly within the city limits.

The mailbox bothers you but the crappy old lowered Yukon parked out in the street is okay?

Did someone alead suggest that you "accidentally " back into it. Just flatten it. Then take responsibility for it and replace it... make it better than it is now.

Next thing you'll be taking a ruler out in his yard and writing an ugly note about the grass height.

If you smash it, your neighbor will just improve it further.

Give him your current mailbox, buy yourself a new one. Win-win.

Walk over and ask if you could fix it for him? $10 in materials and some labor is all it would take. Easy way to get on good terms with your neighbor and a lawyer if you ever need one or advice.
Best answer!

My neighbor's mailbox looks like crap. I just moved in 1 1/2 years ago and it was like this when I moved in. Apparently his wooden post mailbox broke off. So he just bought this plastic one and slid it over the broken post. He's incredibly lazy and definitely not a DIY person. He's a lawyer with several rental properties in the area so I know it's not a financial issue. He's a nice guy but just is lazy to even take action.

Any recommendations for how to make him think of fixing it correctly?

We are not in a HOA so that option is not available. I wrote the city but they said the don't regulate mailboxes as the USPS does that. I navigated the USPS site but could not find how to contact them about it.



When I see that mailbox I think of..."this must be their dining set"

In my neighborhood this wouldn't get a second glance, but if it did the neighbors would probably offer to help. The only requirement in our HOA is that you remove the stick up your ass.

I usually don't get this far with the threads I start. Glad I could deliver for you. I'll keep all of you posted on the future of the leaning mailbox.

How do you live with mismatched concrete, cars parked on the street, and that hideous tractor beam across the street? That guys hedges aren't even uniform height! Think of your property value!

Also,

PlanoAg98: <ring>
Lazy Lawyer: Hello
PlanoAg98: Yes, this is PlanoAg, I live next your property on Anal St. I'm a bit of an introvert in real life, so this is hard for me, but I was wondering if you could straighten up your mailbox and if you need help I would be glad to help.
Lazy Lawyer: Sure, I can be over there this weekend.
PlanoAg98: Thanks. I was going to have to get really passive aggressive online if you didn't. What a relief! See you Saturday! I'll be out planning in which direction to mow the grass this week.

You could have done much better than this.

ah dazed and confused, the nostalgic look back at the tomfoolery of our youth in a simpler time. Replace the characters with black kids and the same behavior would have earned them a bullet.

Any updates, OP?
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
