Non Compos Mentis posted:there are like parcel boxes you can buy that have codes so the delivery person can open it and put the delivery in but they seem like they would be relying on the delivery person to read the special instructions to get the code We have a gate blocking the driveway to our block of units that automatically opens when you call a phone number. Always put that in delivery instructions, yet to have a single delivery do it. Sometimes they drop off the card in our letterbox, fair enough if they're rushed, most of the time they'll call my personal phone number complaining there is a gate because the instructions haven't been read.

Humphreys posted:In Korea there is a concept by LG simply called 'The Door' that has your own personal Parcel Locker, and bonus refrigerated and heated compartments for food delivery people. Plus an actual front door. I have 2 adjacent stories. When I lived in Korea, once I got a phone call from the post office, saying that they tried to deliver a package but I wasn't home so they just left it at the local convenience store. This was in the suburbs, so after checking the 3 that were within a 4 block radius of my house, I found it in a pile of other peoples packages in the corner of the store, and walked away with it without having to show any ID or anything to the clerk. After that I made a point to check that Convenience store every day coming home from the bus stop. And when I was living in Namhae, (a small village about 4 1/2 hours bus ride away from Seoul), I was walking home from work and the postman flagged me down in the street and gave me a parcel. I had never met this postman before. Apparently I was the only foreigner that lived on that side of the village. There wasn't even a "sorry we missed you" card on my door when I got home. So I dunno what they would have done if he didn't randomly come across me in the street. An unrelated story that has a tiny bit of Australiana. Another time I was waiting in line for my steamed dumplings at the stall by the train station. A woman who was also waiting complimented me on how good my Korean was. When she found out I was Australian, she told me of her trip to Sydney. And her two complaints were that Soju was too expensive, and the hotel she stayed at didn't offer kimchi with her complimentary breakfast.

Reminds me of a neon sign on top of a building in Mandurah named Hotel Peninsula, which would get letters broken constantly to make it say Hot Penis

Caesar Saladin posted:Reminds me of a neon sign on top of a building in Mandurah named Hotel Peninsula, which would get letters broken constantly to make it say Hot Penis It was a tradition for the local teens to steal the 's' out of the rooftop Red Rooster sign. At least til those cowards replaced the individual letters with a single-piece sign. No respect for community values, those corporations  .

We dressed up a mates younger brother in the local catholic girls college uniform and embedded 'her' into the after school pickup rank. Then a bunch of our class rolled up in a van in balaclavas and kidnapped 'her'. Yeah that was prank of the decade that got a LOT of heat.

Had our company conference this week out at Warwick Farm. (Around half inter-state so loads are flying in) Everyone gets on the jars, but then has to get a coach back to the city afterwards. By the time we get there we've all basically sobered, so nobody is really that bothered, then 'We'll get 1' turns into Soju & Karaoke. Sometimes slumming it is fun!
