    @sabergirl:

    My recent FedEx gripe is that I have a very expensive prescription for my MS delivered by them with SIGNATURE REQUIRED. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the drivers have been “signing for me” and leaving it on the porch whether I’m there, or not. There’s a lot of package thievery in my town, and I dread when someone makes off with my meds.

    Ug yea I actually called and complained about this a month ago because we were in the house and saw the guy drop it off and not even attempt to knock and get the signature.  After a while they told me that it was the policy that they could mark it as "signed" if they "knew" someone was there.  I'd be a kind of OK with it if there was a "didn't get signature due to COVID" option in the tracking, but when it says signed when it was definitely NOT signed, that's F'ed.

          Better than a kick in the ‘nads, but wasn’t really their error either.

              WARNING: profanity follows

              I'm quivering with rage right now so need to post; perhaps this will be therapeutic.

              We're selling our house and need to have the sewage line cleaned and scoped for the buyers. The idiots they sent over here have been extremely unprofessional and rude to my wife, and then they removed a closed dog gate sealing our dogs in the back of the house, then propped open the front door. The dogs, neither one street-wise, one blind, and neither collared/tagged because we're just hanging out at home, escaped into the neighborhood, where it is illegal (and obviously dangerous, particularly for our dogs) for pet dogs to run loose.

              Luckily I was able to find them unharmed (interrupting a conference call to do so) and bring them home. I yelled at the sewer dudes (which is unfortunate because you don't want to piss off the people presiding over something so important in the sales process as signing off on your sewer line) and now have the dogs safe with me in the office.

              Then, my wife tells me, they fucking left the goddamned door open AGAIN.

              Fuck you, Jake the Snake of Denver, CO, you fucking fucks.

              Think it, be it.

                Jfc. I'd definitely report them / complain / whatever you have to do to make em pay some sort of price for treating people like shit.

                Then again, sewer dudes probably aren't the kinds of guys from whom I expect even the remotest fucks given. Sewer Boss is probably the same.

                    Yeah I feel like writing a very sternly worded letter 😃

                    I have simmered down but definitely had some fight-or-flight energy. I'm usually the easygoing one but this time my wife had to play good cop and defuse the situation. Anyway, I won't be using those guys for any future plumbing.

                    While I'm here, another ass move that happened of late. It is almost unheard of for us not to receive a piece of mail, even a useless one, once a day. We didn't get any for five days, so I called the post office to find out that our (serially incompetent, misdelivering, often showing up at 10PM) postman marked our house as vacant. Our house is quite obviously occupied, with a manicured lawn (we're selling the thing after all), cars parked there, both of us always there as we work from home, dogs looking out the windows and barking, and we even saw the man when we were working on the yard. When his supervisor asked where he sent the mail, he said that we didn't have any. For five days. When we just closed on a house and are under contract on this one. Absolutely impossible. And very worrisome, since I am positive there are sensitive documents that we were supposed to have received.

                    I feel like this is mail tampering and a federal offense. I don't understand why a postman would even be empowered to declare a house vacant. I would issue another sternly-worded letter, but who would pick it up?

                    Think it, be it.

                      Sorry to hear about all this @mclaincausey .  Maybe too late now but the USPS Informed Delivery app (or soon to be just website service) is actually pretty good at minimizing the risk of this happening, as you can see any mail to you scanned automatically at the service centers.  Maybe something to look into.

                          In the lead-up to the election (when the PO was being messed with to the max) we'd get mail like once every 3-4 days, and it would always come in a rubber-banded bundle.  I didn't really mind, it seems like a pragmatic way to deal with throttled capacity. The situation above, though, is quite another thing.

                          I got tick bite like a week ago, now the area itches.  No rash or anything but worried about experiencing the horrors of Lymes disease.  Damn my lazy self staying on the acursed east coast!

                                  It was 37F today and we had some snow flurries…I had to break out the heavy stuff.  I was wearing shorts, sandals, and T-shirts at the beginning of the week.

                                    It would be awesome if climate change made it cold in our region all year round. I'm not sure what the long term implications of this would be… But at least I could wear ultra heavy stuff all the time besides jeans.  😃

                                      It was nuts in the Great White North this past week.  On Thursday, I turned on the air con in the morning and during the day.  I had to turn the heat back on overnight to Friday.  We actually had snow through out early part of Friday  ???

                                          I share your pain… our new house is delayed and we handed over the keys to our old one 10 days ago. We’re living at my in-laws cabin which is nice, but I find myself grieving for the comfort and familiarity of my old house, while not having the pleasure and excitement of my new one.
