can you say ruinous third party lawsuit
Don’t they carry pepper spray?
Mixed with pit bull, perhaps?
I guarantee that if I was a letter carrier I would never be bit by a dog. I would carry a racket ball racket and when they came after me, I would strain their noses off the back wall.
I was a letter carrier in the inner city for four summers when I was in college. Getting attacked by dogs happened every day. Have they stopped issuing HALT to the carriers?
Bet everyone thinks she went STRAIGHT to the hospital. Nope.
First stop was a meeting with the letter-carrier union steward and postal management.
The carrier will be taking early retirement on partial disability...or full disability if she can get it.
The neighbor that helped her...? He gets free mail delivery the rest of his life.
BTW, just getting a PO Box these days is a real nightmare. The first one I rented, I just showed up at the counter, gave them a $12 check for the next year, gave them my name, signed a one-sentence agreement and away I went.
The last one I rented - picture ID, proof of residency at a physical address, birth certificate, social security #, a lengthy rental agreement, 3 day waiting period and $60 in cash or money order.
The cud-chewing fatty at the counter was surly and blamed the Patriot Act when I posed the polite version of WTF?.
