If some lazy lying fuck was standing between me and my wife's medicine, climbing into the truck after he had taken the package away from me should be about the least that guy should hope for.

One of my favorite Archer episodes.



"Oh, I'm queer, from the guy whose tiny gun came with a matching purse?"

"It's got plenty of stopping power!"

"Heh, that little?" *gunshot* "AHHHHH! GOD DAMN IT, ARCHER! AGAIN!"



"What, he was putting on his pants, so I stopped him, so you better watch your back, Mr....damn it!"

"Hey man, right there, what you should have gone with, was 'Sammy Gay-vis Jr."

"DAMN IT!"

Quoted:


Because he had already signed for the package.  FEDEX isn't going to believe him that it wasn't delivered.

Quoted:
Why didn't you just let him go, then call Fed Ex and explain what just happened and why you need the package? If you file a complaint against the driver, I'm sure you would get farther than just dealing with the moron directly.

Quoted:




The Fed Ex guy admitted he was being a dick.  Some people act like assholes instead of taking the path of least resistance which is to just to be courteous. Although next time just let it go in terms of making a comment about the number of doorbell rings.  It doesn't take much to set people off if they are mildly retarded.

Sounds like Fed Ex around my parts. They can ring the doorbell and scoot faster than anybody I have ever witnessed.

Wait Wut?  


OPs FedEx driver acted like an asshole.......

So did undercover cop disguised like a FedEx driver....

Reading comprehension FAIL.

Quoted:


While you guys are completely right (in hindsight) it's about the 500th time I've had a driver just stick a tag, ring the bell and run back to their truck. "Sorry we missed you" is pretty annoying to read when they didn't miss me at all, just avoided me. And in this case it was very, very important to get the package. Not just a new toy I was waiting for.

Truth hurts?

Yes they will.   We have an account with FedEx at work and they account for *every* package, even ones without labels or not delivered.   Every package that goes through their distribution hubs ARE accounted for and done their best to either get them to the destination or back where they came from.

We had an issue with one driver who said they tried to make deliveries, or did make them, but found the packages later that night, but didn't.   They have a computer system that scans everything from pickup through movement to drop off and were able to verify, from the call center whether or not something got to where it was suppose to go.

They're not Billy Bob Joe Hick's Car Repair that throws your parts in a corner and says they don't have them.

Of course - it was so obvious from the post.

After all, only union people can be assholes, right?

Quoted:


I wonder how many times they're caught on home surveillance cameras doing that? I bet someone could start a website dedicated to the "tag and dash" delivery guy.

I think OP was to busy to blade, he was getting cupped and fondled under the blanket.

JK OP I would have done the same thing minus the blanket.

Details. If he had a beard or pierced ears I'd have mentioned that too. Paints a mental picture.

And that has what do to with anything?  I've worked manual labor jobs, but I wasn't stupid enough to think that they couldn't train a monkey to do my job, much less mouth off at people who'd already walked in those shoes if not harder ones like I was a special skittle-shitting unicorn and soooo soooo mistreated.  That's why I joined the .mil and got enough experience to where I didn't have to toss 60-70 pound boxes around all day.  Got a problem, or is that intellectual package too difficult to... handle?

Quoted:



Actually, a good surveillance system brings that shit to a halt.  I have two cameras on my porch, and a third that covers the approach. Two are fairly obvious, the third is less so - and 3 feet from your face if you ring the bell.  You can see people turn away from the obvious camera - right into the closer one.  Funny actually.

I was signing for a UPS package once, and the driver asked me "Is that a camera?" when he spotted the close one.  I told him "Sure is. That motion software records any motion - sort of a pain in the ass to see the videos of the stray cat walking across the doormat.  But I did catch that fedEx jerk throwing my package from halfway up the driveway".   Now when UPS leaves me a no signature package, it is always tucked behind a potted plant near the door, or otherwise concealed.  The drivers set the packages down carefully too.

My wife sends a lot of work documents from home via FedEx pickup.  She has the camera window toggle up on motion on her computer. When the FedEx driver walks up to the door she yanks it open to hand them the outgoing package.  She has caught two with door tags in their hand, ready to slap.  She explains to them she saw them on the cameras - they never pull that shit again.  I have video of a driver ringing three times, and waiting over 90 seconds (we were not home) before he went with a tag.

So, my wife is pregnant. We've had problems in the past (several miscarriages) and she is on some medication that helps keep her estrogen up to insure we don't lose another one.

The meds come from out of state, and the doc ordered this batch to be delivered between 8-10am this morning, because she would have run out.



My wife heads to the doc and I'm staying home to get the package. I'm in the bathroom wearing zip, nada and brushing my teeth/getting ready when the doorbell rings. I know what it probably is, because nobody rings our doorbell at 8:30 on a Monday when (usually) neither of us are here. I quickly grab a blanket off the bed and wrap myself in it. (Classy, I know, but I was in a hurry.)



By the time I get the door open there's a tag on it and he's gone. I look down the street and he's still parked there. Whew, I think. Thank God.

I stand there for awhile on the porch, because I figure he's at the neighbors and I can't see him in the truck. A couple of minutes go by and he comes out from the back of the truck and fires up the engine, so I run up waving the slip at him. He goes in back and grabs the package. I say, "I'm glad I caught you. Thanks.".



He hands me the machine to sign for the package, and says "I rang the doorbell twice.". Well, I know for a fact that he just rung the bell and ran, because the bathroom is right next to the bell and I heard it loud and clear, and he was already in the truck before I got out there. No big deal, but I decide to say, "No, it only rung once.". He says, "Don't tell me how to do my job, I've been doing it for 20 years." Well, I wasn't telling him anything of the sort, but whatever. So I just figure the dude is having a bad day and shrug.



I hand him back his signature machine, "He says what was your name sir?, "Vault_Boy", I answer. He takes the sticky tag from me and then he turns around and throws the package in the truck.



I think WTF?, and figure he just had a brain fart, so I say, "Wait, my package.". He says, "It's not your package until I decide to give it to you. You can pick it up tonight. You shouldn't have been an asshole." and gets in the drivers seat. I wasn't an asshole. I just contradicted him when he decided to feed me an unsolicited line of bullshit, but I thought that was nothing much and didn't even think it bothered him.



Now I'm a little baffled, worried, and not sure what to do. So I stick my leg and arm in his truck and tell him that that is my wife's medication and she HAS to have it in a couple of hours. He starts screaming at me, "You're hijacking my truck!". Holy shit. "I say, I'm not hijacking anything, just give me my package. I already signed for it!". He says he's going to call the police. Well, that sounds like a good idea to me, since I'm not sure what the hell to do, and I'm afraid to just grab the package because I'm not sure whether that will get me arrested or what.



So he starts trying to slam the door on me, and is kicking me in the leg and prying on my hands. I'm still freaking shocked. "I say, dude, you're a psycho. Just give me the package!". He kicks harder. He's an out of shape black guy, probably about my age or so (40) but a couple of inches shorter and his shoving/kicking/slamming/prying aren't having much effect. He's still screaming that I'm hijacking his truck, and he's going to call the police, but he doesn't do it and I really am wishing he would. This is freaking embarrassing.



Right about then my wife pulls up. I quickly explain what's happening, and the pregnant woman Wrath of God beams shoot out of her eyes, setting the tires on his truck on fire. Well, I made the part about the beams setting his truck on fire up, but she comes over and gets in the truck and, um, tells me to go inside and put some clothes on. While I'm inside both my wife and the crazy FedEx guy call the cops.



5 cars show up. Oh God, please don't let any neighbors be home and seeing this. They come over and quickly realize that neither of us are truck hijackers, and ask what happened, so I give about a 5 second explanation and they go to talk to him, shaking their heads and smirking. I'm sure this is not going to be the highlight of their day, but I'm glad they see the humor in it instead of going all out with guns drawn. I can hear the crazy FedEx guy lying to them, then saying my signature was just a scribble and that's why he wouldn't give it to me, etc.



To sum it up, they get the package from him for us, and tell me never to do that again, because I could be arrested for it if it was different cops that showed up, but if they were in the same situation they'd do the same thing. Thank God for decent cops. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to get their names, cause I'd love to send those guys a few bottles of good stuff anonymously.



Great start to the day.
