Hanging out the laundry today and saw the Aus Post delivery van rock up. Had emails from the morning confirming some new summer threads were on the move.
Old mate pulls up, spends some time moving some packages around. Then walks to the front of the building (without any packages) and takes some pics of the front door and starts walking back to the van.
I call out and ask if he has anything for my unit number. Quick as a flash he looks up at me with a panicked look on his face and just as fast says “no”.
I ask again and inform him I have the email confirming that I am in fact expecting something today.
He again says no and then absolutely legs into his van and guns it down the street.
2 mins later, get the email saying “no answer at door”.
First time I’ve absolutely caught them red handed at the ol knock n dash.

Today the parcel delivery (fastway) of a bed frame left it propped outside against the automatic garage door. Imagine my suprise when I opened it from inside.

What’s even in it for him at that point? He’s gotta be expecting a complaint, when he could’ve just… done his job?

Parcel lockers exist for the very reason to put cunts like that out of a job.

Where I work there aren’t many viable car parking options. There is a guy who lives on the one street you can park on, who runs a tourist/airport shuttle bus. He likes to park this bus and it’s trailer on that street which takes up about 4 spaces. When the bus is out, he parks his other car across 2 spaces to reserve his spot. There’s another guy on the same street who owns two small cars. But he doesn’t like other people parking too close to them, so he sets up a witches hat and spaces his cars across 3 spaces. Both of these guys have large garages and I’m pretty sure both of them have cctv covering their parking spots too.
I like daily standups but only when the remainder of the day is clear of meetings because the daily standup did its job.
Put some ICP on.
Put some juggalo facepaint on.
I’m saying nothing else.

Don’t the contractors get paid per attempted delivery?
If they’ve got a full van of parcels and can’t find yours straightaway then they do an attempted drop so that they get paid for it and get back on the road.
If they were to fish through their van for 5 minutes at every drop looking for the parcels then it holds them up and they don’t get back to the depot for a second run. That’s how it was explained to me once.
And in jobs I’ve had, we’d pack pallets/vans/trucks, in run order.
Like, it’s not that hard.

That’s competence though.
Have you seen the inside of a parcel delivery van? Not sure who’s responsibility it is to pack it but it looks like they load them with a bobcat.
But it’s not hard to do it right

I often find it easier to do things the right way.
It also turns out to be the quickest way more often than not.
There are a lot of idiots out there though. There’s a reason why the frozen stuff is kept at the back of the supermarket.
Speaking of loading with a bobcat…supermarket eggs. Theres a supply shortage at the moment so youd think theyd take a little care but no, 50% of cartons seem to have a breakage. At aldi the other day, literally every single carton.
Get your own chickens, the best pet on the planet.
Entirely possible that some of that’s from weirdos going through the eggs on some quest for the perfect dozen.
Ive only ever seen people screening eggs in Aldi. Its actually really gross
Cunts who spend the entire set talking to their mates…
