You think that's bad!? I personally KNOW my mail-man. He lives in a house my aunt rents to him & his wife just down the street from my own. He speaks to my mother & I as frequently as we see each-other. WELL, when I have a package in the mail I have to be extra careful to catch him, as he has done some very ODD things in the past. When he 1st became our mail-man (& this was before we had gotten to know each other, having just spoken casually once or twice) I had tracked my package to a specific day. The tracking said it was en-route to be delivered. WELL, my mail was delivered, and NO package! I was very bummed-out, thinking that he had overlooked it while sorting at the PO... Or that it may-of fallen behind bags within his truck? Or that the tracking was wrong & that it was not going to be delivered that day at-all. WELL, that night was garbage night... I took the trash-cans to the road, & for some-reason I decided to check the mailbox. (Just.... because... lol) THERE was my package!! He must-of realized that he had forgotten it in his truck, and he must-of delivered it sometime that evening! What the HECK!?
So I never spoke to him about this incident... We received a few packages w/no-issue after this. Then, I was to receive another vape-mail package. I was very excited yet again, & had tracked this one to the very day it was to be delivered, yet again.... This time, mail was delivered... NO package!! (what the HECK is going on NOW!) I wondered. I walked back to the house & entered through the garage. Later that evening, I have some outgoing-mail to put into the mailbox. As I'm returning to the house from placing the mail in our box, I notice a small PACKAGE, in a FLOWERPOT, between our two garage-doors. He must-of AGAIN, forgotten to deliver my package, & this-time, he left it in my flower-pot at the foot of our garage-doors?? What possessed this man to walk up my drive-way, and place my package in a FLOWERPOT, where it could-have been RAINED ON, nowhere NEAR my front-door?? I just don't get it... lol.
On another occasion after this, he delivered my package to my next-door neighbor's mailbox... I don't know if he did this on-purpose, (he is very close with my next door neighbor) to find-out what was in it? I have no-idea WHY he would do this... but he managed to do it! What is UP with this guy?
Flash-forward quite a while. I am expecting yet another package on yet another specific, tracked day. I'm very excited... Yet AGAIN, NO package. NO package in my flower-pot, NO package on my porch! (WHY must he come BACK to deliver my packages? WHY can't he just deliver them with the mail!" I wondered) ALL of these packages were sent via USPS, no special services. (they SHOULD be delivered w/the mail) Later that night, KNOWING that this man likes to play games, I walked outside to try and SPOT my parcel.... WELL what do you know, there it was, in the CENTER of my driveway -______- RIGHT where my mom would NO-DOUBT run it over, if she were coming or going. (we're talking about a woman that could find a crack in a 2000 square-foot granite museum-room-floor, & trip on it.. we're talking about a woman that can & WILL find the one uncovered beverage in the fridge - and spill it, without fail, every SINGLE time) So I grab my package from the middle of my driveway, and bring it inside... WHO does that? WHO picks a random spot on an individuals property, and drops their package there, rather-than using the mailbox or porch? Is it because we're friendly? Is he trying to save me steps? I don't get it!! USE MY PORCH, IF U MUST! lol.
It isn't over yet.... Now, it's been a year, since these occurrences... I'm still vaping, and I'm still receiving the occasional package. Now, he usually remembers, & places them in the mailbox.
However... & this is killing me inside... HOWEVER... This man... (I'm sorry, I'm a little nerved-up) This man... now PARKS at his house.. GETS OUT, goes inside, and takes up-to an-HOUR to come back out, get into his truck, JUST to deliver my neighbor's mail, and ours. He has TWO MORE HOUSES to go, before he can go home and end his shift... and yet he STOPS at his house, 2 houses from mine, goes inside, and takes an HOUR LONG BREAK, before delivering my mail.... Ohhhh this angers me.
You literally have 2 more houses to go buddy... You can't just finish-up your route before you go home?? ESPECIALLY on days that you KNOW there is a package sitting next to you for your neighbor's box.... ??
AHHHH I don't believe some people, sometimes. I just don't believe them....
