THE DR. PHILBILLY SHOW – Mailbox Mishap
Last year I had borrowed my mother-in-law’s truck to move some furniture. On my way to town Melissa, my wife, flagged me down and asked if I would drop some eBay stuff off at the post office for her. No problem, happy wife…happy life. Well I get to the post office and decide to drop the mail off at the drive thru box. You know, the big blue one that is cemented into the ground and made of daaaang steel. I pull up, roll down my window and realized I had pulled too far away from the box and I can’t reach it. Craaaaap!
There are cars behind me so I can’t back up and try again. I got it, I decided to pull up just a little and jump out of the truck real quick to drop the mail off. As I get out of the truck, slam it in park and run to the box. I had left the door open, cause I was only going to be a second and that’s when all hell breaks loose. The shifter didn’t quite make it to park, it gets stuck in reverse. Before I ever knew what happened the truck started backing up and the door catches the mail box. Well you can imagine the look on my face when the mailbox doesn’t give even an inch and the door starts to close in the wrong direction. What the heck?
I jump in the truck and pull up. I couldn’t even get the door closed. Daaaang! So I head to the body shop going down Hwy 43, holding the door closed as much as possible but it’s still sticking out into traffic about 2 feet. Every time a car comes past I have to take the ditch to keep from side swiping oncoming traffic. I had already called my buddy that does body work and he is outside waiting for me. He and his crew walk up to the truck and I tell them to watch out. “Watch out for what?” “Just step back!” As I let go of the door it swings open like a rat trap to the front of the car. They all hit the ground laughing. I walk away shaking my head cause I finally realize, now I have to call Melissa.
Did Pat lose her religion when she found out about the truck? Or is that a story that hasn’t been told yet?
Glad to see that one of my “kids” has reached the “big time”.
Ricky I think the reason he didn’t want to call me Is because he knew I would lose my RELIGION…LOL
Ricky…Actually she handled it pretty well. When she got done laughing at me she filed an insurance claim. I bet State Farm got a kick out of that one, lol. You should be proud, you taught me everything I know, lol.
Gotta love the Dr Philbilly show!! – keep it coming Philbilly.
ummm, if you fix it, do you still have to confess???
Kay…you have no idea how many lies I thought about telling but the truth was the only daaang thing that many any since, lol.
It’s nice to have some comic relief…keep it coming!!
Angela…I can unfortunatly provide you with all the relief u need, lol…these type of things are a dailey occurance. Just happy all u have to do is read about it and not live it.
I want to know what your wife said. Haha I bet you were a funny site to see that day….
Well he had to call me to come get him from repair shop…
He didn’t even make eye contact and said “shut up and lets go”
I didn’t have the heart to say anything..(that day) lol
Stacy…That was kind of a strange conversation that we had. She kept me off guard between laughing one minute and chewing me out the next. It was like talking to Syble, lol. I know i spelled her name wrong but u know who i’m talking about, lol.
I can so see this happening to you. You always had a way of getting yourself into jams, but at least you always figured a way out of them.
I had to follow him to the Body Shop to drop the car off so I got to see the people after wayne would hit the ditch, this was some funny stuff.. wish I would have taped that! At the time it wasn’t funny to me.. but can laugh know!!!
Tricia…Getting into this particular jam was very easy but getting out? Now that took some finesse, lol. But that’s how I roll!!!
We should start taking up a collection for your wife. Unfortunately, as you get older, I’m afraid these mishaps will probably increase. Poor Melissa! : )
Just keep me in your prayers …. the GOOD LORD above keeps me going … really eighteen years of marraige what else can happen I think I have seen it all…his poor teachers!!
Shannon…Poor Melissa? I’m only 42…are you saying this is going to get worse? OMG! Shoot me now. Just kidding…please don’t know one shoot me!
Thanks for giving a chuckle-again…. Can’t wait till tomarrow!
This is such a blessing for Wayne to share his stories and seeing that he can make so many other people smile or laugh out loud…to much stress for no laughter….
Julie…Tomorrow is gonna be a good one. I should know…I was dumb enough to it, lol. I’m sure my screams could be heard for miles around.
These stories fill my day with laughter and also make me think back on my on mishaps! Of course not as many as the good Doctors! His life is truely better than fiction!
Well I hate to say my life is truely not fiction…nobody could make this craaap up, lol.
Ok, that does it… you just lost your chance at ever test driving the new Mustang.
Paula….I love mustang’s. I’ve never wrecked one of those before. U really wouldn’t deny me that opportunity would you? lol
I thought only crap happened to me. Wayne you definitely keep me in stitches. Love the stories man!
Thanks Donnie…and you are right. U could probably have some real good stories to tell, lol.
Only you would do something like that. Thats some funny stuff. Thanks Wayne
There’s more than one wreck story …there are several..sure he could do a month of accident stories..poor Wayne
LaRue…I’m sure I am not the only one to ever do that. Well…maybe your right, lol.
Wayne, You are the only person that I know that gets into more jams than I do. That was hilarious.lol It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who has days like that! lol
Thanks Reese…But if I remember correctly u have had your share of sticky situations, lol. I should know, I was fortunate enough to witness some of them back in the day, lol. If I ever run out of stories I may you to fall back on, lol.
poor Wayne…you are too funny!!! Thanks for letting me know about these stories! I can’t wait to tell Marty, Steph & Beverly about this…we all need a good laugh! thanks!!!
Poor wayne !! Thats right … my boys are even scared to ride with him… lets hope and PRAY they get my driving DNA…lol
Theressa…If ur hangin’ out with those 3, u don’t need me for laughs, lol. They are some kind of crazy!!!!! I still owe Marty one for putting shaving cream all over my car, lol
That ebay shipment cost me $1500.00….gotta love him!!
Melissa….you sold enough shoes to cover it, lol. It only took 1 pair of Prada, 2 pair of Jimmy Choo’s and 267 pair of Thom McCan.
What a lucky man u are to have such an understanding wife. Did anyone witness the incident? You should just have someone follow you everyday with a movie camera. You could have your own reality show! LOL. I would tune in to see it.
Donna…We actually talked about a reality show but FOX said my incident insurance was just way to high, lol. Go figure!
Dr. Philbilly,
You always make the bad things in my day seem trivial in comparison and provide me with many laughs. Thanks!
Lisa…If you could spend just one day in my shoes you would absolutly love youe life, lol. Way to much drama!!! Waaaaay to much drama!!!!!! lol Make sure you read tomorrow’s story. And I’ll tell u now…Yes! It really happened, lol.
Regarding tailgate dents and bumper mishaps….I always blame my wife and say “I’ve never even seen that dent. I’ll check it out when I get home….must have happened when you were driving.” I’ll have to step up my game if it ever gets that bad. I would imagine it is kind of difficult in a small town, driving down 43 (with the door sprung open) not to be NOTICED.
LOL…Eric, you have no idea. Most of the time she knows before I ever get home. I tried the blaming her for the dent game for a while but after about the 10th or 11th time she starting catching on. Now its just expected! lol
Sounds like you have a mission to invent the break-away mailbox.
Sam…your a genius! Should have thought of that one sooner lol. But if u safe prrof the world for me I won’t have a more stories to tell…well, maybe a few lol.
Wayne,
Thank you for the story…lmborof!! That was so Original!!
Alysia…Are you trying to say that don’t happen to people all that much? lol…well I have to admit, i’ve never seen it before either until it happened…go figure, lol.
Look forward to the comic relief…Keep them coming Dr. Philbilly
Thanks Amy…but it you really want some comic relief wait until today’s story comes out. I’m afraid that after it gets posted someone may try and have me committed somewhere, lol. I could use a vacation.
I can just imagine what Aunt Pat said… lol i bet she prays for you daily!!
Sarah…She not only prays for me every day and night but she lays hands on me regularly, lol.
Lol I remember that day!! It was funny must admit!!!
Pam…I think u have laughed quite abit at me. U have to admit. I keep things interesting for u, lol.
Thats what I call a blonde moment. Thank God you didn’t call the Police over to further humilate yourself. Ha Ha. Now thats a Wayner……
Larry…calling the police would have done no good. I’m sure they would not have believed me anyway. Heck, I had trouble believing it myself, lol.
