yay!
Not to mention that the door hinges on the side away from the plug, so you have to unplug the door to open it.
So much for that electric door opener idea.
I think it’s a shredder .. I woulda wanted a mailbox like this back in my heavy-drinking days …
Amen to that, man!
They’re just waiting for the singing telegram.
It’s the new Hagert Zombie census taker repellant unit.
“That will stop those damn kids from shoving things through there!”
May I come in -*URK!*
Shreds *and* burns: nobody’s stealing this guy’s identity, by cracky.
This is the genius pervert’s way of getting free porn videos from people.
i guess you can say its a 2-in-1
for mail AND security
Ah! So we have here a combination electrical cord and security chain, right? May be better this way– anyone trying to cut it…zzzaappp. And it’s recording the video of the intruders at the same time, I guess. And the door next to it looks to me like one of those man-size safes that Dick Cheney had in his VP office… Wait, this all comes back to zombies, doesn’t it?!?
I said no more damn mail!
mailman: i got passed the dogs now all i have to do is stick my hand in the mailbox and give him the mail
The sad thing is….there’s a TV on the porch behind that door
Whatever it is, it’s adoorable.
I’m not sure I can handle this.
This photo is from Finland
The actual joke is that somebody didn’t pay his electric bill and therefore his line was cut.
So was forced to use the building’s electric net which of course is billed separately.
The “Hagert” name in the door is very common among ethnic minority which also is very well known from cons like this…
Yup… looks pretty Finnish to me, they’re helping themselves to the communal power paid for by the body corporate of the building. And it’s certainly not difficult for them to rig this up (they’ve pulled the electric cord tight from inside *after* closing the outer door).
I think this is an ingenious solution to having the power cut off from your apartment.
Oh, GTE (Grand Theft Electricity).
free electricity ;D
Boy, Netflix sure is getting efficient.
The door itself looks kludgetastic. The VCR is just a boobytrapped mailbox. Send me a bill, will ya?
It’s a joke on the mail-man.
Classic
That’s how you keep stalkers from peeking in your mail door, move it up to eye level and electrify it. Although I would moved it to, oh, say waist level.
I’m not convinced it isn’t just a regular mail slot and that dude is stealing electricity from the hallway. Hope Mr. Furley doesn’t find out, or he and the girls might have to straight things out down at the Regal Beagle!
Yeah, the plug should be on the other side.
Reminds me of one of those little critter traps with the cardboard box, a stick and some string. “Now Billy, just wait till the mailman comes along and then pull the cord..”
What you can’t see is the string of 4-way extension sockets, cooker and A/C unit running off that wire. And the pile of unpaid electricity bills on the floor.
So now when the mailman comes & puts the letters in the mailslot, he’ll get shocked? Sweet! I want one for my mailbox!
“The next time you try to steal my electricity, Cletus, at least try to be a bit more discrete about it!”
And yet, despite their best efforts, the mail still always comes at 12:00,12:00,12:00,12:00…
When cattle prod companies make a door, they make it right the first time.
It didn’t occur to me that they would’ve gone electric with their products until you mentioned it, but it seems kind of inconvenient to have to plug them in and all.
email? hehhehe
day 154: the zombies have managed to cut down the fence outside and started to shove their hands through the mail slot to open the door, luckily i managed to electrify the slot before they unlocked the door. i wonder how long it’l last though, the backup genorator is almost out of gas…
I may hate my mailman, but I never actually _tried_ to electrocute him.
But Hansson in the office next door is jealous because he doesn’t get a nice door or an electrical name plate.
The two most lovely doors in shanty town.
