Lol. Lmao even.
#usps#snow#ice#winter weather#i decided to stop on the street to deliver mail for the 3 boxes behind me#and because they were so close to the ditch i said nah. I'll park and shut off the truck and do that shit outside the truck.#and as soon as i pushed the brakes in a tiny bit more that truck said 'no you ain't son!'#and i slid like 3ft off the road#somehow missing both oncoming traffic and the three boxes behind me#and then one of my coworkers (who lives on the street id just finished) drove by and i didn't notice and he talked shit to everyone else#laughed about me ending up in the ditch#i also missed the steeper part of the dropoff by like 3 inches#had i hit that my nose would have been touching the ground instead of me just being unable ti leave the roadside#overall very lucky because i don't get written up for this situation#and i didn't have to wait 3 hours in the snow for a tow truck because some dudes in a dually pulled me out#said they were driving around just looking to help people out#and you know what? rednecks get a bad wrap but those dudes were chill as fuck.#sometimes even the shitass rednecks are good people when it comes down to it. they were just raised wrong and don't let that ish go.#they let me tap out delivering mail at that point too. my boss wanted me to do the whole route.#that was also my first day on that route and i didn't know where i was going and almost got fucked 2 other times#i know how to drive in snow in a front wheel or awd car. but i don't think anyone knows how to snow drive in rwd#guys who have worked there for decades had to get help out of ditches or stuck in driveways#all of us reported that we couldnt reverse or go uphill without sliding#only people who were ok were those who were driving their own cars#if i did that shit in my Subaru I'd probably have been alright#my car did totally fine on the 11 miles it takes for me to get home#but i did lile 1/3 of the mail and i hope the carrier isn't mad at me come monday (bc we'll likely be closed tomorrow)#now I'm home and took a shower just to burn myself with scalding hot water#and my only regret is not going by the store this morning for bread and soup#i managed to get a sprite on my way home but sick me demands soup! and i have no soup!!!
