I wish I could laugh, I mean, it is funny, but I can't help what it feels like to be that guy. Most of us will be old one day, and what am I going to do when my mind starts going? I mean, it's terrible because you won't even know your mind is going, it just... will. Scary.

[–]03Titanium 1 point2 points ago

Existence is wonderful and cruel. Wtf happens after existence. When you die there is nothing. do you relive your life again through memories? Are we all in an endless loop? It's scary just imagining these unknowns because it is sure to happen to all of us.

[–]enilredrob 4 points5 points ago

I like to think this or something similar is what happens.

[–]idontdial911 2 points3 points ago

I just sat here staring into space the last 10 minutes contemplating my life, thanks.

[–]mitchelo 1 point2 points ago

I really like this too, ty

[–]silent_p 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, true. On the other hand, I'd say this is at least partly the fault of the designers of that box. They had to know a certain percentage of the population would make this mistake.

[–]FridayNightSargin 1 point2 points ago

Maybe it's for the best that they didn't get sent then.

"Old man thought shells were just bathroom decoration for two years!"

[–]ydoom 1 point2 points ago

On the bright side, you won't care.

[–]pennycrayon 122 points123 points ago

aww poor old man!

[–]kwood09 24 points25 points ago

I'm just imagining this guy dragging his weary bones to check the mailbox everyday before dejectedly going back to doing nothing as he wonders what he did to deserve his family forsaking him by not answering his letters.

[–]Elapses 4 points5 points ago

I'm imaging the postal worker collecting the mail out of said box and wondering why so many people are posting dog shit in bags without a stamp..

[–]laddergoat89 2 points3 points ago

We don't check a mailbox in the UK (where this is from), our posts comes through the door.

He has been sending outgoing mail through this, ad the red poo bin looks like a red postbox to his old eyes.

[–]kwood09 1 point2 points ago

Right, but he still would be sorting through his mail, and he'd still be disappointed that his family never sent him anything in reply.

[–]bisensual 15 points16 points ago

I did feel like I was going to hell as I laughed.

[–]PaullyDee19 11 points12 points ago

Too be honest, this only made me sad... Theres just something about this that gets me. Seriously, I've laughed at wayyyyyyy worse stuff than this.

[–]madhigh 0 points1 point ago

Still a better option than Royal Mail

[–]thombudsman 37 points38 points ago

I'd hate to see where he's been putting his dog poop.

[–]thingsiloathe 24 points25 points ago

Classic Alf

[–]JohtoKan 3 points4 points ago

Not Alf again...

[–]shizzler 3 points4 points ago

That's so Alf.

[–]destructifier -2 points-1 points ago

HAAAAA! I kill me.

[–]XrayAlpha 14 points15 points ago

Its actually really sad, he was wondering why no one ever responded to any of his letters.

[–]Lord_NiteShade 0 points1 point ago

Or why everyone keeps mailing him dog shit.

[–]Omvega 13 points14 points ago

He probably put cards with money in them for his grandkids in there. :(

[–]deep_anal 18 points19 points ago

THEY CALLED THE SHIT POO!

[–]musicnote 0 points1 point ago

This comment made me laugh so hard!!!! Thank-you!!

[–]animeari 6 points7 points ago

I can't help but find this extremely sad.

[–]shickard 7 points8 points ago

"Old fart mails shit"

[–]mwhite1249 3 points4 points ago

That is exactly what my dad would do.

[–]NullKarmaException 3 points4 points ago

Oh Alf

[–]Sweetparole 4 points5 points ago

How does one even write a full length article on this misconception?

[–]sevenoheight 1 point2 points ago

What a shitty situation.

[–]shamsisong 4 points5 points ago

this is the most tragic thing i've read today.

[–]Rikape 18 points19 points ago

Can't stop laughing?

Fuck you.

[–]HammerOfDawn 9 points10 points ago

This just makes me feel incredibly sad

[–]pascontent -4 points-3 points ago

I tried to be sad...lasted 2 seconds. Oh Alf!

[–]elementary_penguins 2 points3 points ago

I know it's sad, but I almost spit food all over my computer.

[–]Waylander94 1 point2 points ago

This must be nearly the 10th time i've seen this on Reddit?

[–]funkymoose 1 point2 points ago

Is this real or is this one of those fake made up story magazines (Obama is secretly having an affair with someone type magazines)

[–]hicarter 0 points1 point ago

Scandal lol

[–]Daedra 0 points1 point ago

Looks like a UK tabloid so who knows if its true or not.

[–]TexasTango 0 points1 point ago

It was a real story I can't remember what paper it was in either Daily mail or The Sun

[–]Saint_Lang 1 point2 points ago

"Real story" and "Daily Mail or The Sun". Well thats an oxymoron

[–]TexasTango 1 point2 points ago

They do have real stories sometimes

[–]zach50allen 0 points1 point ago

Strangely, his recipients got every letter!

[–]DeadlyTedly 0 points1 point ago

I work in IT and every time someone complains that they've been saving their documents to some shortcut that went away I want to send them this.

"It's all gone. Fix it."

Soooo, help HR stop hiring retards?

[–]beccamorr 1 point2 points ago

Maybe in his subconscious mind he thought that his letters were shit.

[–]insomniac_Goku 0 points1 point ago

You can't stop laughing because every time you start to stop, this gets reported and you start up again.

[–]m0cl0v 0 points1 point ago

aww not funny

[–]ChuTheMoose 0 points1 point ago

Honestly though, I'm happy he didn't die before finding this out, but you would think like his water would get shut off from not being paid?

Oh, wait. Online banking, ofc.

[–]w8forit 0 points1 point ago

I take care of my 93 yo dad with dementia/alzheimers. Hey, if I don't laugh, I'll scream when I find milk and cat food in the freezer along with all of the dirty dishes from the dishwasher put away nice and neat. Like I said, gotta laugh, or go nuts.

[–]flowstradamus 0 points1 point ago

The guy reminds me of the old man from Up

[–]zephyr313 0 points1 point ago

I read that in Hans Moleman's voice.

[–]EliQuince -2 points-1 points ago

Interestingly the funniest thing I've seen on reddit today is what everyone says isn't funny... Oh well..

[–]daisydale5 1 point2 points ago

I can't imagine laughing at this poor man.... I feel sad for him and for those of you that laughed!

[–]misswigit -1 points0 points ago

He never noticed there was poop in his mailbox? Did he just think people were playing pranks on him every day for two years?

[–]TheLaramieReject 0 points1 point ago

That's so shitty.

[–]EnigmaticEntity 0 points1 point ago

If by laughing you mean exhaling out of your nose, I'd hope you don't stop laughing....

[–]lula2488 1 point2 points ago

If you cant stop laughing, you may want to go to the doctors

[–]Larry_G 0 points1 point ago

and people say that WWII was a sad story

[–]BelialTempter 0 points1 point ago

Plot Twist: His mail still got to the recipients faster than if he'd posted it in an actual post box. And smelled better.

[–]antani2 0 points1 point ago

WELCOME TO 2006!!!!!

[–]metalgtr84 0 points1 point ago

HA HA! Foolish old man! In your time boxes on the street were used to send letters - now we use them to collect dog shit!

[–]antsh 0 points1 point ago

So sad :-(

[–]merrysugarson 0 points1 point ago

this is so sad

[–]deathadder69 0 points1 point ago

The person who opens and cleans out the shit probably had a good laugh every other week.

[–]jamierambler 0 points1 point ago

What if the true god is actually dog shit

So it thinks the old man is igivinng him offerings of money etc all the time and when the old man dies he gets to sit at the right hand of the dog faeces god

its not all bad guys

[–]killtherooster 0 points1 point ago

I can't laugh at this. An old man was confused and is now embarrassed.

[–]CryoGenesis 1 point2 points ago

How is that even possible, you can sense the burning, ambient smell of dog crap from meters away, let alone opening the lid to the hell portal.

[–]Teotwawki69 6 points7 points ago

91 year-old noses may not work like they used to.

[–]CryoGenesis 4 points5 points ago

Amen, I know an elderly gentleman who couldn't smell the smoke he produced from putting an electric kettle on a gas fire hob. Heck, the gas filled the entire kitchen but he didn't know until he saw it.

[–]GldRush98 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty sure it is an article from a magazine like The Inquirer, or equally reputable publication.

[–]paulthebookguy 0 points1 point ago

Better than most nowadays.

[–]Stubbula 1 point2 points ago

My grandfather is nearing 80 and his sense of smell is pretty damn bad. He can't smell his own shit and I'm not even joking. We always have a good laugh about it.

[–]ChappyWagon -3 points-2 points ago

The funny part to me is that he coherently realizes this and is ashamed.

[–]feedmenudels -2 points-1 points ago

My Mom mailed a few Blockbuster (it was this store you had to go to if you wanted to watch a movie) returns. The store called the next day to let her no in case she had been worried. Apparently it happened almost daily so the mailman would deliver them.

[–]floppymanfetus 0 points1 point ago

where does he put his dog crap i wonder......

[–]KevinAbridged -3 points-2 points ago

That's a shitty letter...Cymbal crash
