CUNTING UPS.

After many years of faffing and prevaricating, DH finally ordered his new guitar the other day. HUGE deal. He almost never spends on himself and has had the same guitar since he was 14 (although it’s been repaired so often it’s not really the same one anymore). I was beyond thrilled that he finally decided, and he was looking forward to playing with his new toy this weekend.

Delivery was today. I have been in all day. I have seen every car and van coming in and out of the close. No UPS vans. No knocks at the door or rings at the bell. We have a dog who goes mad when people approach the house. No one has.

But APPARENTLY they tried to deliver it at 10.44. Did they fuck. And to add insult to injury they only deliver Mon-Fri (wtf?) so he now has to wait until next week.

Why are delivery companies so shit? Why do I get lulled into a false sense of security every time? And why for the love of fuck do they not have an actual person I can speak to to vent my spleen?

Gaaaaaaaah.

Ugh they're wankers! delivery 24 hours late and smashed to pieces- customer services couldn't give a shit!

The gratuitous swearing really adds to your post. It makes you look so intelligent and classy.

That's rich coming from someone when the username Iliketeabagging Confused.

Iliketeabagging · 26/01/2018 17:33

Teabagging is not swearing.

UpstartCrow · 26/01/2018 17:34

Is it fucking classy and intelligent?

TallulahBetty · 26/01/2018 17:34

Swear police are here. Neenaw.

It’s hardly the definition of intelligence and class though is it Iliketeabagging? Grin

Legitimately skewered there, teabagging. Stop digging Grin

@iliketeabagging - people in glass houses and all that..

HemanOrSheRa · 26/01/2018 17:39

Anyway OP UPS drivers are absolute fuckers. The ones who deliver in our area drive like maniacs - speeding, shouting and swearing at other road users. I doubt they even changed into 1st gear when they drove past your home. Fucking Bastards

Teabag has been hoisted on their own petard by Upstart Crow!

Touché!

I was upstairs the other day when the doorbell went. By the time I'd got down the stairs (all 12 of them) to the front door, the driver had gone down the front steps, down the drive, along the pavement about 40' and was halfway up next door's drive with a heavy box.

I found myself wishing we had CCTV, just so that I could see how the hell he did it so quickly.

WeirdCatLady · 26/01/2018 17:40

Oh do fuck off dear, don’t be such a cuntychops (that’s not aimed at the OP, I think we all know who it’s aimed at, but I’m not mentioning any names so it’s not a personal attack blah blah blah)

OP, that sucks so much, fucking arseholes 😡

PiecesOfHate · 26/01/2018 17:40

They're actually OK around these parts (rural Wales)... I've not had any problems with any of them and I order LOADS online.
I do read lots about the poor service you describe, though, and it sounds shite.

I was going to write "rubbish" but thought shite sounded more intelligent and classy.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 26/01/2018 17:41

Now, now, children. Play nicely.

Incidentally, research has revealed that - contrary to expectations - people who swear are more likely to have a larger vocabulary*, higher intelligence and greater creativity than people who don't.

  • No - I can't cite the papers. Look it up. You know how to Google, don't you?

** And not just of rude words

AnachronisticCorpse · 26/01/2018 17:43

Back in the dawn of time, I coined the phrase ‘off you fuck then, Cuntychops’. It was my proudest moment.

Greensleeves owns ‘CUNTING Sainsburys’ though .

SchadenfreudePersonified That makes sense. People who limit their thinking are less playful, have less of a sense of humour, and worry more about staying in the lines than living.

AnachronisticCorpse · 26/01/2018 17:45

Both the Hermes and Yodel dudes do a good job round here. We are on first name terms. But UPScan cover themselves in honey and run through a field of bees. They are dead to me.
