I wonder if he knows destroying a mail box is a federal offense?

You owe me a keyboard. I laughed more than I should have at that one.

That "don't pack it too tight" brought up a memory.
For some reason, in Atlanta, you can only put "yard trash" (leaves, branches, pine straw) at the street in "approved paper bags". These can be bought at Lowes or Home Depot.
When my daughter's family moved into a house there, the back yard was six or eight inches deep in oak leaves. The first pack of bags did not make much of a dent in the HUGE AMOUNT of yard trash they needed to dispose of, and they realized that THIS WILL GET EXPENSIVE.
But they had one of those shredders. Portable vacuum-like thingy, that sucks the leaves up and runs them through the vacuum fan, cutting them into little pieces. And they found that you could get about three times as many leaves into one of the "official" bags by shredding.
Next garbage day there are four bags full of shredded leaves out there at the street. And after the truck came by, there were STILL four bags of shredded leaves at the street.
Naturally, they called the garbage department and said, "Why didn't you pick up my leaves?"
The bags were too heavy.

Who knew dat job be so **** stressful...
Okay...my question is, how did the person in the house have the insight to put this all on film? I mean, how many people wake up and say to themselves, "Hmmmm...I think I'll video the garbage man today...then maybe I'll video that fire hydrant on 42nd Street for a couple of hours to see if anyone runs into it?" I mean, things like this can't help me wonder if these things are staged.
On the other hand, perhaps they knew the guy was going to throw a fit because they poured the leftover concrete from their driveway project into the bottom of the garbage can. Then they said to themselves, "Dang, that stuff hardened in the bottom of my garbage can. I'll bet ol' Billy's gonna have a tough time gettin' that stuff out. Hey, wait a minute! I got an idea...I'll video Billy trying to get that concrete out and then give him a copy for Christmas. He'll get a real chuckle out of it, especially when I turn a copy over to the Postal Inspector."
Anyway, I was just wondering how people get shots of this stuff happening. I mean, if I'm going to waste my time, I sure as heck am not going to be sitting by my front window for hours filming my garbage cans.

I have read somewhere that he apologized to the people and bought them a new trash can. Not sure if it's true though, but any job can get pretty frustrating at times...

New Jersey?
Perhaps he needs to pursue a different career......
AHHA!!! I started digging into this thing (no pun intended) and found out the truth! That's right....inquiring minds want to know. Anyway, so is this a case of a bad day on the job gone horribly wrong? According to the YouTube poster, the video is actually an April Fool’s Day prank he played on his boss. So turns out it was staged all along. 
It looks like he threw the customer's mail in the garbage too.

And more than likely all the similar stuff we see on Youtube is as well. Still funny though........
