I'm 0 for 1000 with USPS though. They wouldn't leave a pair of shoes shipped from South Korea even though no signature was required. 45 Minutes on the phone with them only to tell me they don't know when I could even go to try and pick them up from the Post Office myself. Nice work again boys.

I'm right there with you man. I don't think USPS or UPS worked at all this past weekend. I had two UPS packages that were suppose to be delivered on Friday(2 of 3 separate packages that shipped from the same Amazon order). I'm up and at home all day, the UPS guy usually comes around 11am. No door buzz or door tag but apparently I missed the packages. I'm not sure what these guys do. I believe they have to be within a few blocks of the addressee to mark the package as being missed or delivered. Maybe they just take a long lunch break, mark all these packages as missed and go home early.
I had a small first class USPS package supposedly delivered on Saturday(while I was home). The tracking says it was delivered but I got nothing. Usually, if it's a small enough item they will just put it in the mail box. I called USPS immediately and spoke to someone in India who said my only option was to call the local post office. After 15 calls now still no answer and still no package.
Package 3 of the Amazon order was shipped through USPS to be delivered on Sunday(they do that now for Amazon packages). I was home at the time they supposedly missed me. No door buzz or door tag. What the fuck.
I did actually get somewhat lucky today though. I went to my local USPS to get my missed package from Sunday. I'm sure you know how it is. It's like hell on earth in those places. There's a line of about 20 people just waiting to pick up missed packages. I'm there for about 2mins and one of the regular mail workers comes out from the back and is like, "yooooo, shaneee." He had my package ready for me. You know you order a ton of shit online when the USPS gatekeepers of hell know who you are. The look of disgust on everyone in line's faces was priceless.

I always hear USPS horror stories, but aside from packages delayed a few days never had a issue. UPS on the other hand has not been as pleasant. 3 guitar necks in a row lost, a guitar body so badly mangled the recipient swore they ran it over with a truck, packages from across state that took 3 weeks to arrive, and to ship anywhere from my burb costs a mortgage payment and a promissory note for your first born child's soul.

^^That's particularly bad - even I usually get my amazon packages. How you got anyone there to acknowledge your exist will amaze me until the day I die!
I knew this one would be a problem so I made sure it wasn't signature required. Lucky for me I had such a diligent delivery person today who decided not to bother delivering the package on their own!
I do love how the USPS phone # goes right to Indian…
^I think they get off on tossing packages around as violently as possible.

Just found out my aunt died last night. I am ranting because numerous times in the last month she had went to the doctor and hospital complaining of pain in her side. Her final visit YESTERDAY, the doctor told her he thought her issue was psychological. She went to the hospital, the same. She called 911 when the pain became overly intense late last night, and was gone by the time paramedics arrived. Just angry…

that's a big fuck-up.
sorry for your loss! -

Very sorry to hear about your aunt. My thoughts are with your family.

Sorry for your loss jdl, may I ask if the cause has been identified? Something similar occurred with my Aunts husband a couple of years ago and no cause was ever found.
-
Sorry to hear about your loss jdl. That is a terrible situation
-
Sorry your Auntie has moved on jdl. The story has f^cked up written all over it. Natural causes is such a broad term I wouldn't accept it either & salute your uncle for fighting for her even after she's gone. On the brighter side, at least she's not in anymore pain & regardless of what you believe in she doesn't have to deal with the B$ we put up with everyday.

RAnt… Kind of....maybe, not to sure where to put this.
Today, I'm visiting university of Missouri campus for transfer orientation...by far this is the biggest campus I have been on.. And things seem to be a bit of a clusterfeck. I opted for the first of four different dates to select from... The school is very nice physically though and the people also seem friendly. I'll be doing a one hour commute to and one hour from school daily which sll in all isn't too bad when I consider my old commute when living in Overland Park and working inKC...I must admit though, as a fairly antisocial person ima bit intimidated. Feels a bit like the first day of kindergarten all over again..

@jdl1279 - sorry to hear about your aunt. I hope that you and your uncle are OK.
@tatmantall - you'll be fine. Besides, between your height, tattoos, and growing collection of badass leather jackets, you'll scare off the locals.
