Standing five feet nine inches tall, and weighing 180 pounds, Peter Perron is not a large man. Nor does he have forearms like Popeye the Sailor Man.
But when he goes to fetch his mail from a Canada Post Community mailbox in his West Island Montreal neighbourhood, Perron's forearms get stuck.
The new boxes arrived last month, and that's when Perron realized that getting his parcels would no longer be easy.
"As soon as I opened up the door, I couldn’t get my arm in," Perron told CTV Montreal.
Despite Perron's efforts, the math simply doesn't add up.
Perron's forearms are 17 inches long and five inches wide, while the new mailboxes are 18 inches long and three inches wide.
That means the mailboxes aren't simply a tight squeeze, but letters at the box are essentially out of reach.
Perron says he isn't the only person in the neighbourhood who is up in arms about the new narrow mailboxes.

What I want to know is, who are these people and why the hell do they still get so much freaking mail? The only thing I pull out of my mail box is flyers.
