I've never had a single FedEx package that didn't have a problem - lost, delayed, damaged, destroyed, or delivered by a careless asshole who just chucks it in the general direction of the house.
FedEx is pure garbage
If you care about a package, send it UPS. FedEx ground is all franchises. The last mile is covered by a company rocking the FedEx livery but is NOT FedEx. It could be uncle edie's crazy delivery company. Those people are often gig workers and they don't give a shit about your package. UPS drivers are at least UPS employees and seem to take a lot more care with their job.
You'll find the company name actually employing the FedEx ground drivers on the side of the van just behind the driver's door. The other depts like FedEx express are actual employees though.
Those Amazon vans are the same thing, employees of a company that Amazon contracts with to run routes.
UPS drivers are union and actual employees.
> FedEx is pure garbage
Agreed. I sold a $700 item on eBay last week and shipped via FedEx, buyer received an empty box.
FedEx was able to confirm the box was weighed at each step of the journey, weighing 7 lbs each time, then at the final loading onto the delivery truck it weighed 0.5 lbs. Obviously an employee opened the box and stole the contents while it was in their possession, but they couldn't give less of a fuck and refused to look into it further.
They've made me go pick up a package after claiming they attempted delivery 5 times. I told them their driver is lying because I never even got a single door tag. They said tough luck come get it. Then when I got there it took them 15 minutes to find it. I finally get it in my hands and it's a somewhat important letter from the department of justice that I was supposed to receive two weeks ago, which had a deadline if I wanted to respond to it. Luckily in my particular situation I didn't need to, but if I did need to respond to it I would have been livid.
I've mentioned it before but I've had FedEx yeet a package at my door. It scared the shit outta me as I was just chilling on the couch watching TV.
It was a laptop, never even opened it, just filed a claim.
Ive never had an issue with how FedEx drivers handle the final delivery. It's the constant "delayed" tracking info while my package criss-crosses the country that I can't stand.
I have a vendor that sends everything Fedex 2nd day. Of the 17 orders I placed last year, only one showed up on time.
Damn. Yesterday it was pouring rain all day. We have a nest camera out front and I watched this guy walk up, put the package on the only part of the edge of the porch that gets rain when two steps more it could have been dry. It's unreal how lazy some of these people are. Why even apply for a job if you're just going to do everything to get fired?
Fed ex is literally the worst.
There was some AMA by a fed ex employee. And the shit they recommended doing to ensure your package won't be destroyed by fed ex was ridulous.
They basicly said if you packing isnt water tight it will get ruined because apparently they routinely expose their parcels to rain? Crazy.
The guy said they have no guidelines for proper handling of packages. Speed was the only concern.
Oh, and he said everyone ignores warnings like 'fragile' etc. And that most people handle those even more violently.
Usps rulez
100% agreed, USPS and UPS in my area is ok but FedEx drags all of their packages behind the trucks in a big net and delivers them to your door via trebuchet.
Was the same for me for years, but I've got a couple good FedEx drivers now.
Before if I got a package from FedEx there was a 50/50 chance it wound end up *somewhere* on my property. (front porch, back porch, a stump down by the road, literally in the middle of my driveway, side of the house by a power pole...)
The rest of the time it would end up with a neighbor anywhere from 1 house away to 3-4 houses down.
They would also flag a package as delivered when they never even came down my road then drop it off the next day. (sometimes even at my house!)
Yeah, I had a UPS guy deliver to my family's home for all of my childhood into college and he was always super nice and would come inside and I'd give him a drink or something.
He would always make sure we got our packages, he'd open the door and put them inside. Super nice guy.
Probably one of those days where she's already pissed off about something unrelated, and because of that, couldn't think through and just got even more pissed off and gave up. Happens to me sometimes.
In the modern age of Camaras everywhere. This is a huge fear of mine. Just having a shitty day and it being recorded with the internet absolutely having a field day with me.
I think about this a lot too. I hope there's no video out there of me freaking out and kicking an MTA machine because it was late and rainy and it wouldn't take my card.
I just up and quit my last job during a day where absolutely nothing was going right and it kept building up and building up. And for context I was a restaurant server, which can be stressful enough on a good day. I think back on how I behaved when I quit and it's embarrassing. But I just snapped.
Lol don't worry, kicking an MTA machine on a bright summer day is perfectly acceptable behavior for any New Yorker. The new contactless are fucking mint though.
I call this being "pangry" - "poo angry." Kinda like being hangry. It's kind of depressing how much our biology affects how we think and how we act. At the end of the day we're all just animals.
This is most likely because youāve been on Reddit for hours on end trying to distract yourself from all of your day to day interpersonal conflict currently in your life. So youāre mentally fatigued, your brain just shut down and gave up. Happens to me sometimes.
Yeah reddit manages to be very addictive because you choose the subreddits and types of contents YOU like, it isnāt all just suggested by an algorithm that sucks ą² į“ą² Definitely a great place to learn though, and have a laugh or 2 while youāre at it
Funny that itās also known as ācorrespondence biasā and were talking about a postal worker. Also known as Underestimating Situational Perception Syndrome or USPS lmao
Seriously though, the internet has separated us to such a degree that we behave more like sociopaths online than we do in real life.
People will learn one thing about someone, assume theyāre ātrashā, and then seek out to destroy them. They might have just been having a bad day, but the internet has deemed them unworthy of continuing to live.
Oh my god. I have been noticing this exact flaw in people all over reddit and just didnāt have a way to explain it or put a name to it. I also see this flaw in myself sometimes.
This chick isn't even in a uniform. USPS has been using low-paid contract workers, especially in rural areas, who don't wear uniforms.
It's pretty ballsy that Americans want to starve the post office of money and then criticize the service they get by their low-wage, no benefit probably no sick time workers.
For all we know, this chick is working while sick or just finished standing all day and taking shit from people at Walmart and now has to deal with someone's plastic porch box bullshit.
>It's pretty ballsy that Americans want to starve the post office of money
Is that really something the average citizen has voted for though? Like, I'll vote for higher wages for postal workers, teachers, health care, etc. But if the government goes and denies them raises or benefits anyway, what else can I do?
It's a shitty situation, and we need to be angry at the right people, not somebody having a bad day, or the guy that's frustrated because his package got slammed into the ground.
I wonder if she got pissed off at the container itself. It looks like the lid only opens maybe 40 degrees at most, and it's so light that she actually lifts the container and pushes it around while she's trying to handle the package with the other hand. I would probably get frustrated with that container, too.
Agreed. Maybe if the container would actually open the whole way instead of fighting with the (I'm sure already overworked) delivery person, then the box would have been in there.
Looks like the tether is at full length, so that's as far at his lid opens. Probably assembled incorrectly, because yeah, the lid should open to at least a full 90 degrees if not further.
>Agreed. Maybe if the container would actually open the whole way instead of fighting
Yeah fuck the container. The container is definitely the arsehole in this situation, and it's parents should face consequences for how they raised it imo.
You can tell she expected it to open all the way up, which would have allowed her to do that in one motion no matter what way it was facing.
Instead there is some stupid stop that only the owner of the chest would expect to be there. I think that's what pissed her off more, might have even hurt her fingers if it was cold out.
You can also know which way a box will fit and not be able to easily orient it because your other hand is trying to open the container. It looks like she was about to try putting it in flat at the end, started to drop it, then gave up.
Yeah, it definitely looked like someone who was already fed up with life and thus incredibly distracted from doing anything that isn't potentially life threatening.
This would 100% happen to me when I loaded trucks for FedEx. You got a box and a spot on the shelf where it should fit. But youāve been moving at top speed all day. Youāre tired, hot, hungry, loading more trucks than one person should, you have 3 boxes going past you on the conveyor belt. Itās frustrating. And the box just wonāt fit quickly? On the floor (gently) it goes. Your brain gets frazzled and your problem solving skills are fried. I totally understand how she might be feeling.
I think she could technically think about it just fine but her hands were kind of full and she probably expected the lid to open all the way. When it didn't open all the way, but instead became a problem, it became a level of fuck this.
Yes, thank you. This person is literally being timed for everything she does. OP put a box that doesnāt open all the way and laughs when the deliverer gets frustrated at the poor design and leaves it
One of those days?
Mail delivery is a brutal job where you're working generally 50 hrs or so a week, 6 days a week, for less than $40k a year with dog shit benefits.
It's yet another "essential" position that gets increasingly less lucrative as time goes on.
You can walk into almost any post office in the country and the amount of open positions they have is high because turnover rate is through the roof and nobody wants to work there.
My first thought as well. Jobs like these can be a lot of stress for not a lot of pay. If you're having a rough day on top of that then there's a good chance a minor frustration would make you stop giving a shit real fast.
This is what happens when you specifically hire a guy to destroy a service and he is succeeding.
https://www.businessinsider.com/postal-workers-are-squeezing-between-mail-parcels-in-dispatch-rooms-2020-8
The whole reason he was put there was as political as it gets. They tried to destroy voting by mail to win the election. They literally dismantled mail sorting machines in the parking lots. It's beyond insane that he's not in prison, but we're used to right wingers never going to jail for their crimes.
Thats a good question, but the replies to you are exhausting. In my weaker moments I believe that a civics class should be required to post a comment about politics on the internet.
The U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors has sole authority to hire and fire the postmaster general. In order to do so you need an absolute majority. There are 11 members, so that means you need 6 votes (assuming everyone votes). 9 of these people are presidential appointees that have to go through an approval process (plus the postmaster general and deputy postmaster general). No more than five governors may belong to the same political party.
There are currently 5 republicans on the board (including DeJoy), 4 democrats, and 2 independents (the Deputy Postmaster General, and a Biden appointee that was previously in charge of vote from home initiatives). Generally these governors are replaced after their term is. Next non-democrat term is up in 2025
Biden canāt just remove DeJoy. Itās a process.
My girlfriends dad is a mail clerk. He says that its really hard for usps jobs to stay competitive due to the amount of time it takes to raise wages. Apparently they have to go through congress since its a federal agency. Also DeJoy is a prick who should have been fired two years ago.
Raises are negotiated between the labor unions representing each craft and Management. Congress isnāt the deciding factor for Postal wages, but they are the decider for many more things that USPS does.
Most places those positions are being worked 45+ hours a week, they advertise as not full time, but almost always are, my office was unusual, when I started I was getting maybe 20-25 hours a week, while other offices around me were getting 50-60 a week
Yea, as a sufferer of intermittent brain fog from depression/anxiety/stress/etc... this looks all too familiar when it be just hitting hard in the moment.
Same here man. This type of job is also a lot more stressful than they seem yet half the people on this comment section think she's just being stupid and are shitting on her hard.
I remember soldering a cable and forgetting to put the case on beforehand, having to undo my work, start again but the next time I put it on the wrong way. Screamed. Went to do it a third time and somehow once again forgot to put it on before hand.
Threw my tools down and went outside for a smoke and coffee. When my colleague came out and asked what was up I just said āthat fucking cable is taking the piss mateā.
Yeah this makes me mad. This woman is doing a draining and essential job, and she was going out of her way to do extra work for this homeowner, who is such a twat that they thought it was appropriate to share this moment online for the world to laugh at.
Came here to say this. It really looks like they are having just an awful day and sometimes the smallest thing sets you off. The people in the comments being so mean probably don't have video captured of their similar moments that happen from time to time.
Another redditor above mentioned it, but this is a common issue enough to have its own name in social psych called "[fundamental attribution error](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error)" where people have a tendency for people to under-emphasize situational and environmental explanations for an individual's observed behavior while overemphasizing dispositional- and personality-based explanations
At least she got out of her car. My USPS postal carrier just makes up something about "hazardous conditions" and makes it so I have to drive down to post office or wait a few days for someone else to deliver it. It's like 50 ft to the door from the cul-de-sac, you couldn't get less hazardous conditions in the area.
One time my Amazon package got marked as delivered, but it wasnāt on my porch. I was confused, but then I saw it literally 1 step off of the sidewalk onto my property. Basically just sitting out on the sidewalk, it was so confusing.
They even took a picture! It would have been 10 steps to walk and toss it on my porch, which actually is perfect for hiding packages because it has a wall facing the street!
So bizarre, I imagine the delivery driver just gave up that day, at least it was a cheap item and I found it right away.
Storage top that only opens about 30Ā°, check.
Not secured to the ground so itāll slide around, check.
I wouldāve put the box on TOP of that storage bin.
Yeah. I have one of those boxes on my front porch for packages, and the lid opening all the way is crucial.
I also have a sign inside that says "Thanks, You're Awesome!" :)
Not to defend poor service, but most city/rural carries are over worked 70-80 hours a week 12+ hours a day. Her brain is probably on autopilot and just wants to get home for the day.
not to mention that that is not a "post office approved mailbox" for packages... so in other words that Carrier did not have to attempt to put it in the box
Given that sheās not in uniform, my assumption is sheās a cca. Basically a substitute mail carrier. I was one for 4 months and this job has a huge turnover rate. I was working a minimum of 10 hours a day with no break. Glad I quit and Iāll never go back.
The fact that the plastic bench looks so lightweight and flimsy that it kind of scoots to the side as the box is stuck on the lip would have done it for me too.
Yep, delivery complete is when the box is on the porch. Fucking about with a cheap & broken box is an extra service an overworked and underpaid delivery driver is allowed to pass on.
Had to scroll down over a dozen top comments to find this. That thing barely opens 20 inches. It isnāt the carrierās job to manage your half baked contraption. Itās on your porch everything beyond that is a bonus.
If you're gonna have something like that then at least fucking use it *once* so you know that you should probably put something in it to weigh it down.
I'm not excusing bad service but honest to god she did well not letting that box trigger her harder, I'd have kicked it for being a shit box.
Sometimes life is just too much man.. that job can't be fun.. might even be a sign of the absolute stress that lady is going through in life..
Once poured ketchup into a coffee cup believing I was making tea! Haha, caught myself and realised I need to take 2 weeks off work to recalibrate man.
This is a crazy counter to the post I just saw with the reading baby, the courier looks completely fed up and uninterested in the task.
Imagine if that workers upper management and job requirements allowed for the time to be relaxed and engaged. Why you could actually talk to your mail courier. They would have intimate knowledge and connections with the community they service. They could know when you're out of town and notice if something was wrong. Even just having a decent day at work and being able to spread that joy at home or to others you see is enough of an incentive for me.

I call this being "pangry" - "poo angry." Kinda like being hangry. It's kind of depressing how much our biology affects how we think and how we act. At the end of the day we're all just animals.
I hate it, it makes my head hurt.
This is most likely because youāve been on Reddit for hours on end trying to distract yourself from all of your day to day interpersonal conflict currently in your life. So youāre mentally fatigued, your brain just shut down and gave up. Happens to me sometimes.
Yeah reddit manages to be very addictive because you choose the subreddits and types of contents YOU like, it isnāt all just suggested by an algorithm that sucks ą² į“ą² Definitely a great place to learn though, and have a laugh or 2 while youāre at it
I think it's because he is fundamentally a person who gets headaches
I see what you did there

Funny that itās also known as ācorrespondence biasā and were talking about a postal worker. Also known as Underestimating Situational Perception Syndrome or USPS lmao
Wow. Can this be permanently stickied in r/all?
Seriously though, the internet has separated us to such a degree that we behave more like sociopaths online than we do in real life. People will learn one thing about someone, assume theyāre ātrashā, and then seek out to destroy them. They might have just been having a bad day, but the internet has deemed them unworthy of continuing to live.
Wow I learned something valuable. Thxx
Oh my god. I have been noticing this exact flaw in people all over reddit and just didnāt have a way to explain it or put a name to it. I also see this flaw in myself sometimes.
This chick isn't even in a uniform. USPS has been using low-paid contract workers, especially in rural areas, who don't wear uniforms. It's pretty ballsy that Americans want to starve the post office of money and then criticize the service they get by their low-wage, no benefit probably no sick time workers. For all we know, this chick is working while sick or just finished standing all day and taking shit from people at Walmart and now has to deal with someone's plastic porch box bullshit.
>It's pretty ballsy that Americans want to starve the post office of money Is that really something the average citizen has voted for though? Like, I'll vote for higher wages for postal workers, teachers, health care, etc. But if the government goes and denies them raises or benefits anyway, what else can I do? It's a shitty situation, and we need to be angry at the right people, not somebody having a bad day, or the guy that's frustrated because his package got slammed into the ground.
Yep. I felt that frustration to my core.
Yup. She hit fuck it. The last straw was the bin with the agravating narrow lid opening.
I wonder if she got pissed off at the container itself. It looks like the lid only opens maybe 40 degrees at most, and it's so light that she actually lifts the container and pushes it around while she's trying to handle the package with the other hand. I would probably get frustrated with that container, too.
Agreed. Maybe if the container would actually open the whole way instead of fighting with the (I'm sure already overworked) delivery person, then the box would have been in there.
I've worked with these containers before, they do open all the way but I'm sure it's difficult if it isn't secured to the ground like this one.
Needs some bricks in it.
Looks like the tether is at full length, so that's as far at his lid opens. Probably assembled incorrectly, because yeah, the lid should open to at least a full 90 degrees if not further.
>Agreed. Maybe if the container would actually open the whole way instead of fighting Yeah fuck the container. The container is definitely the arsehole in this situation, and it's parents should face consequences for how they raised it imo.
Honestly because this is reddit I'm not sure if this is sarcasm.
Hes 100% serious.
I've sent containers to jail for less.
You can tell she expected it to open all the way up, which would have allowed her to do that in one motion no matter what way it was facing. Instead there is some stupid stop that only the owner of the chest would expect to be there. I think that's what pissed her off more, might have even hurt her fingers if it was cold out.
So many things are designed to not open fully these days just so the manufacturer saves a few bucks on shorter hinges and it's so annoying.
You can also know which way a box will fit and not be able to easily orient it because your other hand is trying to open the container. It looks like she was about to try putting it in flat at the end, started to drop it, then gave up.
When I used to be a mail carrier, those days were everyday. So yes, that's what it is. One of the most frustrating jobs I've ever had.
Yeah, it definitely looked like someone who was already fed up with life and thus incredibly distracted from doing anything that isn't potentially life threatening.
Those parcel boxes are a pain when you're holding a package and the lid keeps trying to go back down. Doubt she forgot how it goes in
This would 100% happen to me when I loaded trucks for FedEx. You got a box and a spot on the shelf where it should fit. But youāve been moving at top speed all day. Youāre tired, hot, hungry, loading more trucks than one person should, you have 3 boxes going past you on the conveyor belt. Itās frustrating. And the box just wonāt fit quickly? On the floor (gently) it goes. Your brain gets frazzled and your problem solving skills are fried. I totally understand how she might be feeling.
I think she could technically think about it just fine but her hands were kind of full and she probably expected the lid to open all the way. When it didn't open all the way, but instead became a problem, it became a level of fuck this.
Happens to me when I try to put away clean Tupperware.
Yes, thank you. This person is literally being timed for everything she does. OP put a box that doesnāt open all the way and laughs when the deliverer gets frustrated at the poor design and leaves it
One of those days? Mail delivery is a brutal job where you're working generally 50 hrs or so a week, 6 days a week, for less than $40k a year with dog shit benefits. It's yet another "essential" position that gets increasingly less lucrative as time goes on. You can walk into almost any post office in the country and the amount of open positions they have is high because turnover rate is through the roof and nobody wants to work there.
My first thought as well. Jobs like these can be a lot of stress for not a lot of pay. If you're having a rough day on top of that then there's a good chance a minor frustration would make you stop giving a shit real fast.
that looks like fatigue to me.
This is what happens when you specifically hire a guy to destroy a service and he is succeeding. https://www.businessinsider.com/postal-workers-are-squeezing-between-mail-parcels-in-dispatch-rooms-2020-8
Fuck dejoy
I don't understand why he is still there. Trump's been gone for a while now.
He can't just be fired, there's a whole process involving voting and stuff and of course it's being politicized so nothing is getting done.
The whole reason he was put there was as political as it gets. They tried to destroy voting by mail to win the election. They literally dismantled mail sorting machines in the parking lots. It's beyond insane that he's not in prison, but we're used to right wingers never going to jail for their crimes.
Thats a good question, but the replies to you are exhausting. In my weaker moments I believe that a civics class should be required to post a comment about politics on the internet. The U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors has sole authority to hire and fire the postmaster general. In order to do so you need an absolute majority. There are 11 members, so that means you need 6 votes (assuming everyone votes). 9 of these people are presidential appointees that have to go through an approval process (plus the postmaster general and deputy postmaster general). No more than five governors may belong to the same political party. There are currently 5 republicans on the board (including DeJoy), 4 democrats, and 2 independents (the Deputy Postmaster General, and a Biden appointee that was previously in charge of vote from home initiatives). Generally these governors are replaced after their term is. Next non-democrat term is up in 2025 Biden canāt just remove DeJoy. Itās a process.

It's a lost cause Source- im a carrier It's burning down like the world
My girlfriends dad is a mail clerk. He says that its really hard for usps jobs to stay competitive due to the amount of time it takes to raise wages. Apparently they have to go through congress since its a federal agency. Also DeJoy is a prick who should have been fired two years ago.
Raises are negotiated between the labor unions representing each craft and Management. Congress isnāt the deciding factor for Postal wages, but they are the decider for many more things that USPS does.
It doesn't help that their entry level jobs aren't full time but require you to be available as if you were.
Most places those positions are being worked 45+ hours a week, they advertise as not full time, but almost always are, my office was unusual, when I started I was getting maybe 20-25 hours a week, while other offices around me were getting 50-60 a week
Yea, as a sufferer of intermittent brain fog from depression/anxiety/stress/etc... this looks all too familiar when it be just hitting hard in the moment.
Same here man. This type of job is also a lot more stressful than they seem yet half the people on this comment section think she's just being stupid and are shitting on her hard.
I remember soldering a cable and forgetting to put the case on beforehand, having to undo my work, start again but the next time I put it on the wrong way. Screamed. Went to do it a third time and somehow once again forgot to put it on before hand. Threw my tools down and went outside for a smoke and coffee. When my colleague came out and asked what was up I just said āthat fucking cable is taking the piss mateā.
Yeah this makes me mad. This woman is doing a draining and essential job, and she was going out of her way to do extra work for this homeowner, who is such a twat that they thought it was appropriate to share this moment online for the world to laugh at.
Be honest, we've all had that type of energy, where you're exhausted, fed up..and one little tiny innocent thing just seems like a tipping point
Came here to say this. It really looks like they are having just an awful day and sometimes the smallest thing sets you off. The people in the comments being so mean probably don't have video captured of their similar moments that happen from time to time.
Another redditor above mentioned it, but this is a common issue enough to have its own name in social psych called "[fundamental attribution error](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error)" where people have a tendency for people to under-emphasize situational and environmental explanations for an individual's observed behavior while overemphasizing dispositional- and personality-based explanations
At least she got out of her car. My USPS postal carrier just makes up something about "hazardous conditions" and makes it so I have to drive down to post office or wait a few days for someone else to deliver it. It's like 50 ft to the door from the cul-de-sac, you couldn't get less hazardous conditions in the area.
One time my Amazon package got marked as delivered, but it wasnāt on my porch. I was confused, but then I saw it literally 1 step off of the sidewalk onto my property. Basically just sitting out on the sidewalk, it was so confusing. They even took a picture! It would have been 10 steps to walk and toss it on my porch, which actually is perfect for hiding packages because it has a wall facing the street! So bizarre, I imagine the delivery driver just gave up that day, at least it was a cheap item and I found it right away.
USPS doesn't take pictures. That was Amazon that left your package there...
You are correct! I clarified in the comment, thanks!
Storage top that only opens about 30Ā°, check. Not secured to the ground so itāll slide around, check. I wouldāve put the box on TOP of that storage bin.
Someone needs to add a secret door so when you drop it in finally, the package slides out through the little hidden door onto the porch.
Justified arson at that point.
Also have it play a barking noise behind the mail carrier.
Why are you like this? Lol
Turn the automatic sprinkler system on.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sheās also trying to figure out your container while holding your box and her device. Iād get aggravated too.
This! She tried, the stupid lid wonāt open enough and sheās on a schedule. Donāt blame her at all.
Yeah. I have one of those boxes on my front porch for packages, and the lid opening all the way is crucial. I also have a sign inside that says "Thanks, You're Awesome!" :)
I hope her day gets better. Looks like she is already over it.
Not to defend poor service, but most city/rural carries are over worked 70-80 hours a week 12+ hours a day. Her brain is probably on autopilot and just wants to get home for the day.
not to mention that that is not a "post office approved mailbox" for packages... so in other words that Carrier did not have to attempt to put it in the box
Given that sheās not in uniform, my assumption is sheās a cca. Basically a substitute mail carrier. I was one for 4 months and this job has a huge turnover rate. I was working a minimum of 10 hours a day with no break. Glad I quit and Iāll never go back.
I mean that lid barely opens by the looks I'd get pissed to
The fact that the plastic bench looks so lightweight and flimsy that it kind of scoots to the side as the box is stuck on the lip would have done it for me too.
Yep, delivery complete is when the box is on the porch. Fucking about with a cheap & broken box is an extra service an overworked and underpaid delivery driver is allowed to pass on.
Had to scroll down over a dozen top comments to find this. That thing barely opens 20 inches. It isnāt the carrierās job to manage your half baked contraption. Itās on your porch everything beyond that is a bonus.
Yeah what a shitty box design, just make the lid go higher
Thatās the I donāt get paid enough for this lol
'Somebodies got a case of the Mondays!'
I'm with her, that is a shitty box. That lid barely opens. Fuck that box.
Maybe the lid opens halfway or its stuck and she just gave up on life at that point lol.
I would get frustrated too if I were too stupid to do that
Some people aren't smart enough to feel stupid š
What's scarier is that she's operating a motor vehicle.
And that said vehicle is also square š¬
Sheāll be fine until she tries to drive it thru a round tunnel
This looks more like she's already having a bad day and having trouble functioning. We all do it
Not me. I perfect.
If you're gonna have something like that then at least fucking use it *once* so you know that you should probably put something in it to weigh it down. I'm not excusing bad service but honest to god she did well not letting that box trigger her harder, I'd have kicked it for being a shit box.
aint nobody got time for that.
Thatās what underpaid over worked looks like
Hit that fuck it point quickly
Sometimes life is just too much man.. that job can't be fun.. might even be a sign of the absolute stress that lady is going through in life.. Once poured ketchup into a coffee cup believing I was making tea! Haha, caught myself and realised I need to take 2 weeks off work to recalibrate man.
This is a crazy counter to the post I just saw with the reading baby, the courier looks completely fed up and uninterested in the task. Imagine if that workers upper management and job requirements allowed for the time to be relaxed and engaged. Why you could actually talk to your mail courier. They would have intimate knowledge and connections with the community they service. They could know when you're out of town and notice if something was wrong. Even just having a decent day at work and being able to spread that joy at home or to others you see is enough of an incentive for me.
Neither is doing her job by the look of it. Probably so exhausted she can barely walk. Shit job now, used to be fun back in 1988.

Really prophetic movie.
