A video of what many are calling “the angriest garbageman in the world” has gone viral.
It’s unclear whether he was just having a bad day or whether there was something particularly noxious in those trash cans, but either way, he wasn’t having any of it.
Though some are saying this is probably a prank, it’s still hilarious:

Posted on March 14, 2012 at 12:58pmMost mailboxes are not the easily removed from the ground. What about the camera? Was this an every day thing that required a sting operation to capture? Smells like a set up to me. Pretty funny, though.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 2:53pmHomeowners need to be aware that even though they purchased and maintain the residential mailbox, the mailbox belongs to and is controlled by the USPS (United States Postal Service). That means that any tampering of the mailbox is a FEDERAL OFFENSE!
Report Post »Funny or not—a crime was committed. Don’t play with or mess with the mail box….period.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 9:56pmIt is also true that you are a terribly lonely person that has been waiting years to point out the bit of knowledge you gleaned from your arrest a couple of years ago. Yep – it is also illegal to poop in a mailbox. Sorry you had to learn the hard way…
I’m kidding of course (it really is a federal offense when someone messes with mail/mailboxes). I just got a kick out of your defense for the mailbox…

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 2:18pmHeadline should have been “Garbage Man Goes Postal”. Seriously, that was a federal offense. From http://www.ehow.com/facts_5576716_mailbox-tampering-penalties.html:
According to 18 USC Chapter 83/1705, destruction is defined as tearing down, injuring, defacing or destroying a mailbox or receptacle intended for delivery or receipt of the mail.
Intent: Destruction of letter boxes or mail must be done willfully or maliciously.
Penalties: Persons found guilty will be fined, or imprisoned for not more than three years, or both. In 1994 this section was amended: As previously laid out that the fine would be no more than $1,000, but it is now open-ended.
Considerations: Should you destroy a mailbox, and the mail contained in it is destroyed, you can be charged under 18 USC Chapter 83/1702. This section covers theft of mail as well as destruction of mail.
Significance: If charged under Section 1702, you can be imprisoned for up to five years and/or fined. In 1994, fines up to $2000 was changed to leave the amount of the fine open-ended.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 10:43amI don’t know. It looked like something was stuck in the bottom of the can and it wasn’t coming out. My guess it was dog poop, maybe a lot of it. Half frozen and not coming out, perhaps the home owners had been asked to bag it or whatever and he had just had enough.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 7:37amThe postal service – like GM and Chrysler – are bankrupt and soon to be out of business. I think he was trying to be helpful by getting rid of the mailbox for this customer. It was a “pay it forward” gesture.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 5:19amGeeezz… And I thought the guys in my area were hard on the cans when they pick up.
We can’t have metal cans here. They look like they got into an accident the first day they get picked up. They literally hurl them into the hopper & then hurl them back onto the front lawn. AND, you don’t DARE complain…. they’ll forget your stop a few times if you do.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 11:02amWe’re lucky here. The garbage can is owned BY the garbage company. On a side note: Do you think the guy beat up the mailbox and then thought, “It’s garbage now!”? :)

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 1:36amI agree with you. Only because I haven‘t heard the libs calling for his firing because it was a woman’s house or an African Americans house or a comedians house or an Obama supporter. And I didn’t hear anybody praising him because it was Rush Limbaughs house. this must be a joke.

Posted on March 13, 2012 at 1:37amI don’t think it was a prank. He tore a perfectly good mailbox out and destroyed it. That is a little over the top in my opinion. I could be wrong though. I was wrong once before.
