dear mister mailman,

Dec 10

Posted by: Scott in: blog, christmas, holidays, me myself and i, ramblings, rants, who wants to read this?

I know this is a busy time of the year.  And I know I ordered a lot of crap online.  But if anyone should be complaining, it is the UPS woman (they have those?  They do here).  Not you.  I think you have brought about three packages.  The UPS lady has you beat.  By a lot.  She smiled and was quite polite when she was still scrambling to make her deliveries at EIGHT THIRTY at night!  But dear mister postman, why, why, WHY do you refuse to knock on the door?  I mean I may have appreciated that you didn’t knock yesterday, as I was standing in the hallway in a towel playing ball with the kid.  But you could still knock without peering through the glass.   But really, I need to know why you felt the need to leave my Borders.com order sitting in the rain rather than just knock on the blasted door.  You’ve been rude since the first day we moved here.  You barely acknowlege people when you are spoke to, but damn, the box would have fit inside the storm door, or you could have just….gasp…KNOCKED.  You don’t even have to stay and wait on me if I’m that scary.  Just let me know so I can get my package out of the pouring down rain.  Thanks.

Sincerely,
Your irritated customer on your route who doesn’t want to file a formal complaint because then they’ll make you call me on the phone and address the issue.  God knows I don’t want you to have to speak to me.  Plus it’s the holidays.  I don’t want to get you in trouble.  Scrooge.  Bah Humbug!  (I know about the complaint thing because I called when we were living in our previous house.  The super nice lady bent an envelope from Shutterfly to wedge it in the mailbox.  She was nice about it and apologized, and she always brought all my packages to the door with a smile.)
