They both suck, but the mailman needs to be a professional. Of the two, he's the one who's on the clock.

Meh. I think she’s the much worse offender socially, but he still did something dumb and unfortunately has more to lose from it.

She did say please

Don't walk on my grass, but then the woman proceeds to walk on the grass to get the mail the mailman threw down.

One time I painted and NEVER again!

I’m a mail carrier so I’m speaking from that perspective.

The woman is a bitch but if she doesn’t want people walking on her lawn that request should be respected.

The mail carrier in this instance is also a bitch. He handled this the wrong way. What he should have done if he felt aggrieved by the homeowner is to withhold the mail. Simply don’t deliver it if he felt “threatened” and continue to hold the mail until she talks directly with a supervisor or a postmaster. He escalated it in an inappropriate manner by tossing the mail on the lawn.

He reacted to her being a bitch by being a bitch himself.

Neither handled it as it should have been handled. It is sad that most people cannot "talk things out."

This woman probably had no rapport with the postman (assuming this guy was her regular carrier). I talk to our office mail carrier all the time - he's great. If there is a mail issue, we talk about it (and it is never an issue with him).

Having a conversation to resolve an issue seems to be a lost art.

This is the result of shitty parents, which is the downfall of our society. Decent and respectful parents teach their children to never cut cross someone’s lawn. It should basically be ingrained before the child even goes to preschool. If you side with the mailman, you had shitty parents.
