From Daily Intel:
[A note] "spotted, on a mailbox at Carroll and Eighth Avenues this morning, this desperate plea: "MAILMAN: I accidentally dropped a copy of the movie 'HOT ROD' in here today. Can you please return it to the VIDEO FORUM on 133 Seventh Avenue so that I do not get heavily fined. Thank you."
Wow. I mean, I guess it is a simple request...and certainly is a pleasant enough note. But the fascinating thing (to me, at least) is that there is someone out there...in my very nabe, with the casual audacity to:
1. Even think of asking this in the first place...of the motherfucking mailman
2. Doing so without even acknowledging that this DVD return is a somewhat unusual request...certainly far outside the realm of a normal mailman's duties.
3. Provide no further contact information, which therefore;
4. Doesn't even allow for the possibility that the mailman *might* not do as they were asked.
Also, uhm....HOT ROD??? You paid $3.85 and rented the movie HOT ROD?!
I feel like someone took my brain out of my skull and scrambled it up in a blender...I mean, W-O-W.
I sincerely hope someone creates a worthwhile psychological case study based on this incident. And also that the mailman in question did NOT return that video.
