• You may be grousing about your mail taking FOREVER to get to your mailbox, but that's nothing compared to a couple in Chicago, CBS Chicago reported.
Last year, a postal worker tossed a package onto Vera and Donald Rideaux's front porch -- then pulled away in his vehicle, hitting the Rideauxs' van, "and he kept backing the truck up, back and forth, back and forth, pulling my car at the same time," Donald said.
The worker got out of his truck, looked at the car, and "got back in it and he drove off," Vera added.
The couple called the USPS but as of Dec. 7, there had been no resolution of the $1,467 in damages caused to their van.
A spokesman said drivers are supposed to notify immediate supervisors when they're involved in an accident but wouldn't confirm that such a report had been made in this instance. [CBS Chicago, 12/7/2021]
