When I lived in DC I forgot about the magic of Beltway traffic a couple of times. Once you're on there… You're fucked. Ugh.

I've never seen so many incompetent drivers in one place. Pretty much every morning, I pass by three accidents and witness three accidents almost happen within a one or two car distance from me.

At work we are basically forced to listen to the local radio station which has a daily feature called the 9@9, where members of the public (morons) select 9 songs to played by a particular artist, or with regards to a particular theme. Some sadistic bastard this morning chose none other than The Proclaimers, I have never heard so much Scottishness in one sitting before, it was like living inside a haggis

I typed it in English, then used Google auto translate for English->Scottish.

Traded for these in "barely worn" condition. A little upset this was present. (Not a user here). Is this a grave issue?
Apologies for the crotch shot. -
DPD were meant to deliver a parcel to my flat between 10:30 and 11:30 on Monday. I was in, and no-one rang the bell.
I checked tracking at 11:30, and it had been signed for at 10:31 by an "L S". Apparently the driver had thought it fit to leave it with a neighbour. So I checked all the neighbours in my block, and no-one has it.
I got in touch with DPD on Tuesday, and was told to speak to the company who sold me the goods. After doing so, I was informed that the driver would retrieve the parcel on Wednesday and deliver it to me.
Guess what, nothing turned up…
So I get in touch with the vendor again, and they say that the driver didn't have time to recover the package on Wednesday, and that they'd do it today.
Surprise, surprise. Still nothing was delivered.
Perhaps I should start taking suggestions in the Random Questions thread about what I'm going to do to DPD if it doesn't turn up soon...

Jeeze man, so sorry to hear. I hate dealing with courier services

Apologies for the crotch shot.Best to stitch them. It'll save you trouble in the long run…

I'd have to agree

It's not a serious problem yet, and it shouldn't take much work to fix.
That said, I'd be ticked if someone traded those to me without mentioning the issue.

Yeah, I was upset when I got them to find the hem was not a chainstitch, but figured that was on me for not asking. Finding this failed stitch though is especially frustrating considering how the pair was presented to me. It's not as if the stitch is in a place where you could miss the damage. Sending em off to be re-hemmed and have that crotch fixed today. I have half a mind to contact the trader, but I don't even know what I'd hope to get out of him. I should have seen the warning signs, the dude was great in the negotiation phase and then got awfully strange after we had settled.

I would try to give the benefit of the doubt and contact him. Maybe he will offer to do Paypal over a bit towards the repair. There is Always a possibility it was an honest mistake it wasn't mentioned, or what's more the guy just may have not been as concerned with such things as you, I, or others would be… I know that I would certainly mention that, and had it been a failure of something on my part I would certainly want someone to contact me and I would do whatever is within reason to make it right. Not everyone will extend that same courtesy but I would like to think there are more of us that would than wouldn't. Maybe I just try to find the silver lining but without contacting him you never know if it was just a truly honest mistake. He may just be busy at the moment and wasn't even thinking... I dunno, just my $0.02 for whatever it's worth but if you have not contacted I think it's certainly at least worth the attempt and I hope you all can hash it out. If you have contacted him and no response or effort was made on his part... That's just kinda crappy and sorry that happened to you.
