I took today off work because I had ordered a new graphics card so I could enjoy Oblivion this weekend. Shipping info specified delivery between 08.00 and 12.30 so I sat by the window the entire morning. Then, the shipping info changed to “12.30-15.30” so I continued waiting. And I felt a bowel movement coming on.
Knowing my luck, I tried to postpone it as much as I could, but I eventually had to relent to the power of my colon.
And wouldn’t you know it - in that 4-5 minute window, they ‘attempted delivery’ and I now got a message saying I can pick it up after the weekend.
Which is when I start a new work regimen of 6/7. So no Oblivion for me in the foreseeable future.
Thanks Belgian post services! Always ready to disappoint. Never change!
I’d heard Australia Post is looking to improve this by experimenting with flying drone technology. Drones will be able to place the “Sorry we missed you!” card straight into the letterbox from a central dispatch location without having to do the expensive and time consuming step of sending a driver to put the note there by hand.
This got a chuckle out of me man, thanks.
Given their past performance and processes … it’s entirely possible for this to actually happen.
