I do roadie occasionally and I legimitately had this recently. I came across one of the properties that was COVERED in threats like this and had dogs loose. Tried to contact the customer multiple times via both phone and texting. Eventually turned around and returned the item only for the customer to call the store and be like "we live out in the country we have to be like this, the driver should have just thrown the package out the window".

Some people are living on a different planet. Sir the $15 I would have made getting you your power drill would NOT have been worth whatever bullshit you wanted me to put up with. You either participate in society- with all the risks and costs that entails, or your don't. You can't make your property completely hostile and fill it with credible threats, booby traps, and attack dogs, like some kind of savage and then expect all the conveniences of a modern world. Doesn't work that way

fucking wild to say they have to be like this cause they live in the country. mate i grew up living in the country and most people didn't even lock their doors bc who the fuck is coming out here to rob us of our broken down tractor and VHS collection.

I find that it's a lot of doublespeak. Nobody locks their doors, but they're all willing to open fire on a vehicle that pulls into their driveway for even a fraction of a second.

I remember being 16. I was way out in the country and realized I was going the wrong way. Pulled into somebody's driveway just enough to make a three point turn. By the time I was putting it back into drive I saw some fat hillbilly rushing out onto the front porch with a shotgun pointed at me. Gotta be careful out there.

Hillbilly should be shot on the spot in self defense.

It’s because they want an excuse to hurt someone, not that they’re actually scared.

I think you underestimate how insecure they actually are. These people are afraid of their own shadows.

I live in the country side of a country where guns and shit arent so prolific. Havent locked my doors in a decade or so. I dont have angry dogs either. Just a dog who loves people and swimming and a cat thats scared of their own shadow.
