Wisest Elder Ever
|
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. ![]() ![]() My gosh....what is this world coming to?
