#6 Had an OLD Mr Coffee with an enclosed water tank. Pried the top off it one day to find about 100 dead flies accumulated over the years. #4 Could be worse, "all in" down in the river. Hope it's not a single access road they can't get in front to recover. Jerry
#5 That is the state of every package I've ever received via FedEx. Case in point, the two mini-split ductless HVAC units I've ordered...and reordered...and reordered because of shipping damage.
That "Fragile - Handle with Care" label on the box actually reads "kick me across the sorting room floor" to both FedEx and UPS. The Post Office is just as bad or worse.
Long ago, I worked for a company that was shipping out a large number of PC servers to replace ones that were not certified for the Y2K scare. We always shipped them out for second day delivery. The added cost was worth having them arrive intact. Any more than two days in the FedEx, UPS, or USPS delivery system pretty much guarantees that the package will be severely abused.
#6 Reminds me of the only restaurant open at 03:00 in Ladner B.C. for our night crew's lunch break. The Swing man from Louisiana trying to tell the Canadian waitress there was a bug in his coffee.Eh! She couldn't understand him,Eh! He couldn't understand her,Eh! And they both speak English. He finally stood up shouting BUG! BUGS! BUGS! and pointing at his cup. I laughed, but he never came back to work with us again.
#5. An artist friend ordered pieces of broken tile for a piece she was doing. She got a notice from the delivery company saying the box had been returned to the shipper because the material inside had been broken during transport.
Back in ’92 I worked for UPS during the Christmas RUSH loading the semi-trailers. I came across my first package with “FRAGILE” written across it. I set it aside found my supervisor and asked “what do I do with the one marked “fragile?”. I will never forget his response: they’re all fragile.
#1 Took me a minute to figure that one out. Nemo

ReplyDelete#6 Bummer, a fly and a tampon in yer coffee. Yes I know it's tea and a tea bag.
ReplyDeleteIf it was a tampon there'd be a red hue to it.
