Random Rants

I really cannot stand FedEx. I never received my Viberg roper boots. Credit to Viberg for refunding my money and issuing a $100 credit. They truly went above and beyond.

Now I am on the fourth day of a delivery attempt for something else. I signed the release, left it on the door, and even posted an additional note asking FedEx to please drop the package. They are still refusing to do so.

At least with UPS, after the first or second delivery attempt, depending on the contents, they will drop the package at a local retail location for pickup the next day or sometimes even the same day. By contrast, the FedEx app will not even let me request a hold at a local location.

If you’re trying to get me to open a spam email, you might want to think of a better name:

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd Amanda Hugginkiss would have been much more convincing. Or Hugh Jass. Or any name from a Bart Simpson prank call to Moe‘s

[steelworker]

Seymour Butts

@northsouthdenimguy this is valid. Also they hit me with the "must be home to sign at 2PM" fairly often with no explanation. I may be the only one on earth, but I've had unusual success with DHL.

I had to go to the social security office today for an appt with my wife. Drove and and hour there and back. Wife realized when we got home she left her phone. So we drove another hour there and back. I just got home. To my credit, I was nice the whole time and didn't make one comment. She felt awful enough.

For our UK friends, Social Security is the US version of the DWP there, but they cover all sorts of personal data issues.

@northsouthdenimguy I had the same issue with fedex. Said they attempted delivery and never did. I asked them to hold it at the distribution center so I could pick it up. Went there and they said it was out for delivery but they told me to call customer service and the guy read off the website tracking information. Then it got delivered at about 9pm the next day. I feel your pain haha

Probably my biggest apolitical rant of the modern world:

Headlights and every-other-bastard's exterior residential lights have gone too far. Shit is fully mental now. When I am king, lumen limits and light-shielding requirements will be strictly enforced.

[motojobobo]

As king, I’m going to have a go at all vehicle horns. Planning a tiered, progressively higher, excise charge for those annoying honks.

Our new Subaru not only has a self dimming rear view mirror but side mirrors. Not that I drive at night much now that I’m old but I have always hated the lights reflecting from the side mirrors.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt I came here expecting a meltdown and this is what I get? Disappointed in you!

[sabergirl]

Whaddya want?! He’s just an old guy, now

[Tago Mago]

Kinda like Abe Simpson

[Matt]

That’s how I feel sometimes.

[Tago Mago]

[endo]

The cream is all gone.

[ZackB]

@Matt I hated this when stopped at a light, I would try to angle my mirrors so it reflected back at the driver behind me, mostly gigantic trucks.

[Chap]

Fuck ... she should not have done it with a ruptured cruciate ligament...

[Anesthetist]

@Chap I can see why she pushed herself but this is devastating. I hope she’s ok.
