Both companies seem to have a penchant for holding packages. Previous package for UPS was delivered at 3 AM to my local facility. We don't get our UPS deliveries until after 12 noon.
Apparently it's not possible to load a package at a hub on to a truck within five hours but instead takes over 24.
Then there's my current FedEx delivery. Shipped on Monday, to be delivered on Wednesday.
Nope, some excuse about them having problems at their sorting facility because of weather. Delivery now for Friday.
I guess government workers being told to take their time getting to work when the weather is bad is absolutely outrageous, but when a private company uses weather as the excuse for not doing their job, something they're paid to do, well that's okay.
Sheldon Cooper: To a hospital? Full of sick people? Oh, I don't think so.
Penny: Okay, well, your friend and his mother are there. We're going!
Sheldon Cooper: I can't.
Penny: Oh, don't tell me you're afraid of germs.
Sheldon Cooper: Not all germs. Just the ones that will kill me. The same way I'm not afraid of all steak knives; just the ones that might be plunged in my thorax.
Leonard Hofstadter: Ah-uh, fine, I'll tell Howard you didn't come because you're more concerned about your own well-being than his.
Sheldon Cooper: I would think he would know that.
Penny: Okay, you know what? You are unbelievable. You buy all these superhero T-shirts but when it's time for you to step up and do the right thing, you just hide in the laundry room.
Sheldon Cooper: Fine, I'll go. Just for the record, my Aunt Ruth died in a hospital. She went in to visit my Uncle Roger, caught something, and bit the dust a week later. The two of them now share a coffee can on my mother's mantel.
Saying you were only following orders is never a defense for committing a crime.
Or, and I'm just spitballing here, people could not commit a crime or go somewhere they're not supposed to be.
You know, personal responsibility, do unto others and all that other crap I keep reading on here about how we're supposed to be caring and understanding of our fellow humans.
If you think it's acceptable for someone to do whatever they want to someone else's property/equipment and not expect to be penalized, then I will be sure to do the same to you and expect the same treatment.
Paintballs might also be effective since they are hard enough to do damage at reasonable distances.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it is repeatedly said that everything should be free.
So how is it that this guy needed money to continue his work? Isn't it free? Why would he mysteriously need money when everything is free?
Free things don't cost anything so are we sure he's not pocketing the money?
