I remember when UPS meant good things. I remember laughing at FedEx, thinking, "yeah, nice to associate yourself with the federal government - the USPS does so much better than UPS! ha ha ha!" I remember thinking that brown van meant progress, and quality.
Oh well. Now I actually choose the USPS over UPS. UPS is the company I ship with if I want to wait 3 weeks to get my smashed box from a guy who usually would rather be watching the game than delivering my package. I just called UPS to find out where the package their tracking says should be here, will actually get here. The driver apparently has until 7PM to deliver (or "until the end of their route," whatever the hell that means)!! So basically I've been sitting here all day waiting for this damn thing to come in, and now I'll be sitting here all night too.
Oh, and god help me if I am not here when they get here. I think they use psychic powers to get me in the 2 minutes I'm in the bathroom, so they can perfectly run out of their trucks, ring the doorbell, and run back to their truck and pull out before I even wipe my ass. It's scary, I tell you.
Meanwhile, Fedex is always here at 10AM or so, and the guy waits a minute at the bell for someone to answer *gasp*! Foolish me, for ordering UPS Ground instead of Fedex.

A. Petition UPS to change the route to put your address at the beginng of the route.
B. Move.
C. Tip me heavily the next time you see me.
or
D. Quit your panty gripe-ing!
Posted by: UPS Guy at August 15, 2003 05:46 PMYou got that right. These assbagels didn't deliver my package because I was "missing the apartment number"!! I guess the assclown driver didn't want to get out of his van, because my fucking NAME is on the door.
Bah.
Posted by: Matt at August 15, 2003 05:40 PMI dunno. I always get my packages from UPS before Noon even when shipped standard service. Maybe they secretly hate you, and this is some sort of conspiracy specifically targeted only at you.
