CURBSIDE ETIQUETTE

Through the Eyes of a Delivery Goddess





Below you will find links to dates when new entries are added. The stories will not necessarily be in chronological order, but rather as I remember them. I am dating them so that you can skip to new ones you haven't read since the last time you visited, and so that you are more easily able to find something you found humorous to share with others.



A Crappy Complaint, Indeed!


   I have a few newspaper stories to relate while I invest some time building up new pizza delivery stories. It amazes me, sometimes, how critical and insensative we seem to have become. Just watch the news and I'm certain you will hear at least one story about someone who is offended by something someone else said. What ever happened to "Sticks and Stones?" Ok, maybe I'm just perfect and feel like I have the right to complain about everyone else.

Most of you have heard me relate complaints that are annoying because usually I should've known better. Like, I forgot to restart someone when they came back from vacation ... (how dare they point out MY forgetfulness). Or, the paper landed in the flower garden ...(how DARE they poitn out my inaccuracies). I even had someone call me and ask me to stop ringing his doorbell in the middle of the night. Well.... - perhaps I did that one on purpose... I had a fellow complain about something that I felt was rediculous, so I threw his paper at the door bell for a few nights. Guess I made contact at least once! After twenty years, most carriers have pretty good "aim". Maybe TOO good.

Well, THIS complaint speaks for itself. I almost can't believe the newspaper actually printed it and passed it down through my mail, but, here it is! I outlined it with a red box, just in case you aren't certain about which gripe I'm griping...
