I bought a very small and very expensive item.
I'm terrified that the postman will throw it near my door instead of leaving it with the office like they're supposed to.

DHL gave my package to an unknown person with a shady looking signature.

"It's been delivered"

No poo poo. But you were supposed to deliver it to a specific person. Now my chances of being deported just went up significantly. Good job fuckwits.

My USPS delivery person signed my name on a Certified/Registered letter and left it in my mailbox. While I was home.

I'm pretty sure legally that's some sort of federal offense, but the most I got out of it was a half-assed "apology"written on the back of a blank tracking slip, and is most likely the reason my mail and the mail from the 2 families downstairs are constantly getting mixed together, despite having 3 very separate mailboxes and address numbers, and all 3 of us having lived at these addresses for 2-3 years now.

My mail lady hates me apparently, which sucks because I'm not even the one who called her branch to complain (I mostly jokingly told the story to my wife who mostly jokingly told it to her retired Postmaster dad who called my branch and complained).

If they did their loving job properly, they wouldn't have had any complaints.

It pisses me off particularly because I'm dealing with that at work. One of the other security guards isn't doing poo poo he's supposed to on his shifts and has the brass to complain to me about the higher ups getting on his case. If you did your loving patrols and checked the loving trailers like you're supposed to, no one would be loving badgering you!

yeah :agreed: but I knew that complaining would result in the poo poo I'm dealing with now, so it was whatever. I live in a nice neighborhood so it's not like there was an actual concern someone would steal a registered letter containing random tax documents, but it's kind of lovely to do sign someone's name like that, and even more lovely because I know for a fact she didn't knock or ring the doorbell like she was supposed to, since I was home that day.

Trying to get results from government/municipal employees like postal workers or cops or whatever is one of the biggest "screaming into an uncaring void" feelings there is, there is absolutely zero accountability.

Only in my case the package contained three years worth of personal diaries that I absolutely need to complete my immigration paperwork. 'Sign on delivery' was the whole point. I might end up deported because of this.

He signed his own name, and now left a letter at the delivery address demanding the package back (which means he can't remember where he delivered it, and since his hand written letter has his Sig I know he signed for it). He's either stolen something with no monetary value or dumped it at the wrong place almost a week ago so who the gently caress knows.

This is bordering on an actual problem:

My phone (and only my phone) will randomly no longer connect to my apartment's WiFi, stalling everything. The device simply says "Connected, no Internet" until I disable and re-enable the WiFi setting on my phone.

My bf doesn't have a smart phone so I have to email him links or photos or screenshots of funny things, instead of just being able to text a link or photo. What is this, the stone ages?

I assume that when I text him the text of the Indian men on internet thread like "u wan fuc u lesbo milk bags" he doesn't quite understand the context..

You really should of report this to everyone--not goons I mean-- and especially the immigration people. You have proof. Though I really hope the immigration people aren't as incompetent as the mail assholes. Side story (doesn't really help making my suggestion helpful but still you should report it). Anyways: when I was getting my citizenship the interviewer, an extremely high and important person, told me, in broken English with a huge accent, to write down "I like apple pie and baseball" as proof that I could speak and write in English. Unless you're super astute you can't even tell I have an accent, or that I sometimes use conjunctions and sentences that are grammatically correct in Russian but not in English. By all means I sound like a pure American :patriot: I mean yeah that's just policy but lol.

E: some more content! This Uber driver immediately picked up that I was Russian because of aforementioned tiny accent; specifically, voice intonation. I wrote him a great review cause we had a cool talk in Russian, and he was awesome in general, but I still worry about good Uber drivers because they have to always have good reviews or they get fired so I hope he always has good reviews because he was super cool :ohdear:

I'm getting taught how to program our inhouse software. Now learning the ropes on the code we are using is not too bad as I can just put my problem into google and find a solution. But this software is ages old and has some functions that are only specifically used by our company so I just need to hope some of the other programmers know how it works. But it bugs me that I can't find a solution by myself, and realize how dumb I am.

I had an Uber driver in a city I was a complete stranger to. He must have thought I was a fellow Muslim because the whole ride he had the radio set to a station where a British presenter was having a discussion with a Hamas government rep which consisted of like 90% railing against the Jews and Israeli Jews in particular. The driver didn't say anything, but kept looking at me encouragingly for reactions to the things being said on the radio.

I'm an Israeli Jew, by the way.

I gave him 4 stars because aside from the whole "here listen to this screed against the Jews" thing he was very nice and got me where I needed to go very expeditiously. He even offered me a bottle of water or some potato chips.

I bought a used truck a couple weeks ago and dropped it off today to get inspected.

I knew it would need some work, but hot drat, it's more than I figured.
It needs all 4 ball joints, 4 tires, front brakes, and rear shocks. gently caress me, will probably cost close to what I paid for the truck just to fix it.

My work van overheated today. So I am using a coworker's van tomorrow, and mine should be fixed by Monday. IF we get approval from the corporate chain. But see, they are closed weekends, and the tech at the shop comes in Saturday, so I might have to get a rental on Monday. I hate rental vans.

I went to talk to a guy at a dealership today, and got told "No, we don't allow offsite inspections", and just loving bailed for that exact reason.

My FWP is that I found a beautiful SUV for only like 1500 more bucks than I have in my budget to throw at a new vehicle. It doesn't have the hands free bluetooth stuff, but god drat the inside of that car was immaculate. For a ~11 year old car that is just a miracle.

Why do people insist on dumping un-curated photo albums on Flickr? I'm looking through a page to find some photos and several of the over four hundred I have to click through could very well be taken down (duplicates taken less than a second apart, blurry shots, etc.).

Thank you to the Lasership driver who left my package at the foot of the entrance to my house during massive flash floods all day, instead of climbing literally 3 steps and leaving it on the landing, which is covered by a metal awning.

Oh yeah also some sort of animal has been popping the lid of our trash can outside and going to town on the contents. Last night when I took the trash out I double-bagged it, and I clipped a bungee cord over the lid. Woke up this morning and whatever animal it is just popped the lid enough to slide it out from under the cord. Not sure what my next move is, but right now it's raccoon/possibly this one groundhog I keep seeing 3, me 0 :mad:

Oh god, this is my life right now. How can one inch between belt notches make such a difference? On one notch I can take my jeans off with the belt still done up but one notch tighter is uncomfortably snug. Related problem: I'm in the process of losing a bunch of weight so all my clothes are cartoonishly big on me but I don't want to buy new clothes until I lose a few more pounds so I just look like I don't know how to dress myself.
