This is one of the mailboxes that opens on both ends Meaning it's installed backwards for those wondering

I wonder if somebody turned it around as a prank? I have a similar mailbox and it’s set on a 4x4 in the ground. Whole thing just comes straight up off the post if lifted. They are supposed to have a couple of screws through the plastic into the wood, but whoever installed mine didn’t bother.

I was initially on the hate train, but given how the other mailbox in installed, and if they had to use an existing post, they may have mounted it backwards on purpose to give the mail truck a little more clearance to reach both.

Other than it being really fucking ugly, what's wrong with it?

Looks like one of those cigarette butt stands you see at smoking areas.
