I recognize this is an incredibly dumb petty revenge, but any time I'm turning right from the corner (it's a T intersection) towards my house, I full stop at the stop sign (y'know, like you're supposed to, but I get why people do a rolling stop). I then keep my turn signal on because my driveway is less than 30ft after the stop sign. I always always always back in because it's a nightmare to get out in the morning otherwise.

Tonight I'm getting home from the grocery store. Someone is behind me. I know what's about to happen but I'm doing it anyway. I stop, turn, *keep my turn signal on*, and since there's nobody in the opposite lane I swing wide and start to back into my driveway.

The person behind me decided not to stop at the stop sign and had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting me. I back in, their passenger makes eye contact with me and is swearing from their seat at me. I can't hear it but it's incredibly obvious he's swearing.

Dude it's not my fault you decided not to follow a traffic law that literally would have prevented you being behind me while I was trying to get in my driveway.

TL;DR: I back into my driveway so I can get out in the morning, dude decided not to stop at stop sign and had to slam brakes to avoid hitting me while I backed in

I went regular last august. Was in a POV route, switched to a gov route Saturday before last. Today was rough. 385 scans, and I'm in a manual office. One regular rural route, one rural aux. Clerk called out, had to borrow one from the office that covers my day off/the aux. Start time is 8:45. I don't know the route well enough to put packages in order without the scanner.

She wasn't done throwing packages until after 10am because she kept getting customers, which I occasionally had to help her with. Flats were heavy too. I wasn't able to leave the office until 12. It's the heaviest it's been since I started on this route.

5pm, a warning comes up on the metris. Check brake fluid. I called my supervisor cause I was scrambled and didn't know what to do. She told me to keep going. That a regular carrier, at this point in the day, would have ignored it or bought their own brake fluid and reported it later.

What would y'all have done in this situation? Today was my 7th day on this route. Overall rough day.
