mcm1610 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I came home from lunch about an hour ago and the mailman had just put mail in my mail slot. He then stopped me to scold me about a hornets nest up under the overhang of the roof that I'd never seen before. "No mailman wants to deliver mail with that thing there!" So I come inside... I'll have to get some wasp spray and get it down later. 2 minutes ago, the mailman left two packages of records on my front lawn and didn't even knock on the door or anything. If someone had stolen them, I'd probably figure out a way to ambush him tomorrow with the wasps nest. Give me a fuckin chance to get rid of it first, christ. He was such a dick about the whole thing.

chiefwahoo Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Aren't they all dicks anyways? Hell no, I've always had great ones. They always recognize that it's vinyl and go the extra mile to put it in a different, dry place on the porch if it's raining. My most recent one says he'd like to check out my collection some day. In fact, I really should start giving them Christmas gifts each year. God, I'm getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aestheticguitar Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 my mailman left a record of mine, not only out in the sun, but on an area of my screen door that made it impossible to open the door. i had to go out the back and around the house to get said record. it was about to rain as well. another time, the guy left a record between the red flag thing and the mail box. wtf.

brentoage Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 i have never had problems with my mail people. but yesterday someone got beheaded on a bus up here in canada, so... :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 But anyway. About $180 bucks worth of preorders / delayed-with-preorder orders are here now, so I've got 14 records to listen to and document in my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 My normal mail lady is great. If I have a package, she knocks on the door and leaves it up against the side of the door frame so it won't get wet or anything if it rains. Sometimes we have some guy who just throws them on my side porch which is annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmonaut Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Aren't they all dicks anyways? Hell no, I've always had great ones. Me too. The most recent guy, Marty, always left my records out of the elements and in safe places. I would give him $20 or $30 over the holidays.

He was such a dick about the whole thing. seriously, don't mess with the mailman or he'll go postal on your ass and kill you, your whole extended family, and everyone at the post office. I recommend giving him a cup of coffee with some rat poison in it. By the time the rat poison takes affect he should be at least a couple of blocks away from your house so it would be almost impossible to connect it to you.

coryvc Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 My mail lady is almost like a family friend, we all know her name (Cindy) and when we get a package she rings the doorbell and hands it to us, or leaves it on the bench right outside our door. Shes pretty damn awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengavu Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I've never had any problems with regular mailmen. UPS....ugh. Not only does our local UPS dude lob packages from a good 10 feet, but instead of knocking, he'll pound on the side of our house?? I don't care if you hate your job, do it right.

Nah no proof, im just pinning the blame on him/her. Im bitter about the whole episode, Deathwish sent me the Fractures print by mistake, i contacted them and sent it back, and when the right one was sent out, i never got it. It was sent almost 7 weeks ago so i've given up all hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPS....ugh.Not only does our local UPS dude lob packages from a good 10 feet, but instead of knocking, he'll pound on the side of our house?? I don't care if you hate your job, do it right. haha, UPS guys are pricks. i've worked for DHL/Airborne Express in the past, some boxes take a beating before they ever reached our station, mostly because handlers like to cram boxes into any open space. UPS stuff seems to go the extra mile to getting damaged/broken. i use USPS as much as possible, don't even like ordering from places that offer ground UPS/FedEx, etc. not worth the price or the possibility that something will happen. used to deliver to a few post offices on a daily basis too, some of the grumpiest and angry, bitter assholes i've ever met. i'm so glad i don't deal with them anymore. the pricks far outweigh the nice ones. you'd think with a comfy goverment job, they could have a little respect. they've got it made. i work all the time, i never see our postman anymore. he tends to leave my boxes between the doors if no one is home so they're out of the elements. i've been lucky. i feel bad i get so many packages sometimes, should start thinking about leaving a gift for them for helping me out.

l0stsquirrel Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 In my experience with mail carriers (as i am myself one during summers) Their attitude reflects the area in which they deliver mail. If they do put packages in areas that are susceptible to the elements call the post office and bitch. Then they will get bitched at. by the by im a great mail man.

teganandsara Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 My Mail person is pretty cool seven inches are placed in the mail box and 12" are given to the truck to be delivered later or stored at the local post office no problems with vinyl so far.
