OK.....well maybe not the kind of crook you see breaking into someone's house but he's dishonest nontheless.

I ordered some steaks and chicken from Omaha Steaks. They had a really good deal for $39 so I thought I'd give it a try.

I got an email telling me when my package shipped and a link so that I could track it. I figured it would arrive either today or tomorrow so I never did check the tracking info.

Well, this morning my neighbor rang my doorbell and said that the UPS driver had left my package at his house by mistake.

I thanked him for letting me know and said that I would come over and get the package (he didn't bring it with him).

Now, this man is older than I am (he's probably in his 70's) and I've always been taught to respect my elders but this guy is just a piece of work. He actually suggested to me that I call the company and tell them I never received the package. Then they would send out another one and we could split everything since we would be getting double.

I couldn't believe he even had the nerve to suggest this.....and I told him that they could track the package and the UPS driver would tell them where he delivered it. Plus, I told him, it was dishonest. He started ranting about how these companies rip us off, the UPS driver should do his job right, they were stupid not to ask for a signature, blah, blah, blah.......

I finally told him that I wasn't going to call the company......yes, the driver should have noticed that the house number he was delivering to was different but hey, we all make mistakes. I think he just wanted to gripe. He kept on and on and I finally told him I was expecting a phone call and had to get back home. I told him that I'd give him a steak or a chicken breast for all of his trouble (I didn't know what else to do!!) and he did have the decency not to accept it.

My gosh....what is this world coming to?
