Postal Worker Smashes Van Multiple Times While Laughing Hysterically.

I'll say it...she went postal.


BELLEVUE, Wash. — Bradley Kitchen was outside a Bellevue, Washington, school Friday when he says a postal worker hit him multiple times with her vehicle.

The 55-year-old mail carrier was harassing another parent over where that parent was parked, Kitchen said."She was using some vulgar terms, so I kind of leaned out the window and said, 'You can't do that,'" Kitchen said.

It all allegedly happened around 11:15 a.m. Friday. Kitchen said he started taking photographs of the woman so he could get the license plate of her government-issued vehicle.

“She proceeded to drive forward; that's when she hit me the first time, laughing hysterically,” Kitchen said.Kitchen said the carrier hit him three times and injured a knee that was already in bad shape."With that much strength of the vehicle to bend my knee backwards in a brace, she hit me pretty good,” Kitchen said.

The Postal Service said the woman has been carrying mail for nearly three decades, and they've never had an issue with her.

This guy makes Newman look like a hero.
A troubled Brooklyn mailman took his depression and booze addiction out on his postal customers by failing to deliver some 40,000 pieces of mail and hoarding the massive stash in his home, car and post office locker.
Joseph Brucato, a Vietnam War vet, admitted hiding a ton of mail meant for customers in Flatbush since 2005, according to a Brooklyn federal court complaint.
It took five postal agents five hours to remove the massive stash of purloined letters from the 67-year-old’s Flatlands apartment, which he shares with his wife and child, his landlord told The Post.

Whenever I hear of stories like the one you posted, I wonder why it took so long for the superiors to find out.

Maybe the mail he stashed was mostly junk, which gives a new meaning to the term....I mean you can't tell me it wasn't getting in his way.
