OOPS!

The Lee County (Florida, where else?) Sheriff's Office is investigating after an incident involving an allegedly intoxicated man riding on a lawnmower, WESH-TV reports.

A video camera caught the mower plowing into a mailbox along the street; the man went heels over head and stumbled away from the mower, then returned and drove off, apparently hitting multiple other mailboxes along the way.

Matt Clardy, whose mailbox was among the victims, called it "absolutely disgusting" but admitted, "It's so funny. I can watch it 100 times."

The man left behind a Pittsburgh Steelers hat and sunglasses at one of the scenes; police are still trying to identify him.
