So who thought Community Mailboxes where a good idea? Is it so damn hard for the post office guy to walk around to all the houses and deliver the mail? Is the post office guy so lazy that a community mail box was the only way to solve the age ole problem of "where the f is my mail?"
Was somebody sitting around going, "People will talk to each other while they get the mail everyday, that's a great idea."
Are they a retard? I don't want to talk to my neighbors. Do you?

Here's another similar piece of asshattery from my neighborhood.
Our house is on a pipe stem along with 5 other neighbors. There are 3 other pipe stems on our street too. We pay extra money to the HOA because we live on a pipe stem. What do we get for the extra money? Well, we get to walk to the end of the pipe stem to pick up our mail since all our mailboxes are on the end so the postman doesn't waste time actually delivering mail to OUR FUCKING HOUSES. We also get to take our trash cans to the end of the street so the garbage collectors don't have the inconvenience of actually getting the containers from the bottom of our driveways like the folks who pay less than us for the same service. Best yet is the fact that when it snows, our pipe stems are the last to be cleared by the HOA, because it's just too inconvenient to clear them right away. Yeah, awesome, I'll tell you what, if I give you more money could you come over and tear up the bottom of my yard too please? Oh wait, that's right, they already did that when they fucked around with the storm drain, Asshats.
I don't really mind the community mailboxes. They are an excuse to take a walk. However, I have never actually talked to a neighbor while collecting mail. I have seen neighbors start towards the mailbox, see me at the mailbox, and then decide to turn around and go back inside their homes, presumably to wait until I am done so as to collect their mail in privacy. So not such a great way to meet neighbors.
Ha! I'm forced to get my mail at 10 o'clock at night so I don't run into any of my neighbors! It's not that I don't like them, they all seem to be fairly decent and for the most part not too annoying, but I don't like making bullshit talk and waiting for the other person to stop talking so I can go back home....but maybe that's just me! :)
We once had a weird, anti social neighbor "Rooney the Looney" who in an ironic twist build a garden next to the community mailbox, replete with a park bench and box hedges. It always reminded me of a cemetery.
