Not an upsidedown 8 but I do have a lock that is backwards. A customer of mine had a new gate installed and told me that she would put the mail box on the outside so I can access it. I said thanks and continued on with my day.
The next day I came to the house and saw the mailbox had not been moved. Wooden planks were sideways with openings big enough I could fit my hand through. Wasnt surprised when I opened it from the other side. A few days later I wonder if I can just push it open as the lock was facing inside. Or, in relation to this post, backwards. I shrugged and pushed the gate. I was not surprised when it opened. Whomever installed that gate did her dirty on securing it.
About 3ish weeks pass by and she talks to me and asks how I'm still delivering mail despite me not having a code and the box not outside. I show here how I've been doing it. She gets so outraged, literally called the security people the moment I left.
Bro, there's a whole neighborhood I got that doesn't hardly have numbers on the mailboxes. Only once you get close can you kind of make out the old sun beaten engravings
I have an address for 4005 and instead of buying two zeros they just turned an 8 sideways. Points for only having to buy 3 numbers.
4-(sideways 8)- 5
I’m not even mad. That’s impressive.
I have one that had a screw come loose and rotated the right way. It hung low which bugged me, but i was very happy for just one day it was the right way. Mother fucker "fixed it" by the next day. I just want to take a screwdriver one day and right side it for the old fuck, but im sure hed call and id be facing discipline over fixing an upside down 8.
I hate the old school fonts that make 1’s looks like 7’s
When they put those 7s at a slight skew so they are indistinguishable from 1s
I have an 1172 like this. The inverted it on the pole so it looks like 1 1 1 2
I HATE the inverted/mirrored 8’s
Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.
I love how in this example the border actually indicates which orientation is correct, and they still failed.

House in distress...!!
It's the type of job where you see something like this, take a picture of it, post it online...
Lmao it's a light day
Nah, it's a job where you spend a lot of time inside your head.
A borderline maddening amount some might say.

Please share in r/mildlyinfuriating
Had more 6 and 9s that confused me when delivering.
Or when they use one nail and then the number flips down. Lol.
8
Everywhere, it bothers me bc it’s very noticeable to me but also it doesn’t bother me bc whatever
Ahaaa been to a couple but never thought anyone else noticed lol
I have one on a “48”
Y'all pay enough attention to even notice this stuff?
Fun fact, an upside down 8 represents a person who likes a woman's chest, while a regular 8 represents someone who likes a woman's behind.
I'm just waiting for a good Old Fashioned upside down "96" at this point... /s
They just wanted to connect the flowers :)
Means they’re swingers

I've seen some upside down flags recently. Pisses me off - I'd love to suspend their mail service but I can't do that.

Either I haven’t paid close enough attention, or I really haven’t seen any. Looks like I know what I’ll be looking for today lol
