You may be onto something there, Ted. But, would you think that would also apply to packages they receive?

I'm just fortunate that I can use them to ship and receive guns and other packages. I recently received a pretty little .410 through them. I guess I'm riding on their coattails.

In order:

1) Because it was obvious when the package was in a different state at 3:00 PM that it wasn’t getting delivered on Friday.

2) There is. This was lying.

3) There was no reasonable expectation that the package was going to be delivered on Friday to any functioning, thinking adult. That would have been OK if that's what they'd told me...instead, they lied.

4) Accurate. But not what's going on in this case.

Geoff, your reply is further proof of damaging projection.
You think they lied to you, because it justifies your belief that they lied to you.

You were basing your calling this person a liar on what you projected from a screen that is notoriously inaccurate.

The person at the post office gains nothing telling you anything they do not believe is true.
Lies are for purpose.

Your misunderstanding of what lying is is tragic.

They aren’t out to get you. There is/was no calculus to deceive you for purpose.

The person at the counter doesn’t even know what the thing is other than it’s a number on the screen. It has the same value to them as lint.


I don’t think they track packages like an Uber eats pizza where Google is showing you turn by turn directions where the box is.

At best, it is bulk processing. The packages get scanned as they get loaded on a truck, and then they get scanned when they leave the truck. For all anyone knows, the contractor’s truck was listed as in, but wasn’t fully unloaded yet because somebody went to the dentist.


These rant threads just show how messed up the thinking of people has become.


Our letter carrier was a man named Bill. We liked him. A Korean War veteran. He had three kids. We all went to school together.
My mom gave him cookies now and then. A card at Christmas.

A far different view of the veteran public servant than what so many seem to think these days.

No, it is not.


Nope.


Wrong again. The folks at FedEx have access to the same info they share on their tracking page.


Not the post office. The purpose was to get me to stop bothering them.


Not remotely. Yours may be though.


Where would you get the idea that I thought they were out to get me? That's...strange. See above on purpose.


If that's the truth, it's unfortunate. Also: No counter.



You'd be wrong there. Packages are scanned via barcode into a location. When that location is a FedEx (or UPS) truck with GPS, you can follow your shipment on the website.


No, the package was listed (scanned) as sitting at the warehouse in Minnesota. Not even to the local hub, and certainly not on a truck.



Not a rant. Truthful example of what actually happened.



That's very cool. We know our letter carrier too. Nice young lady, very pleasant, easy to talk to. Ive seen her out in weather I wouldn't go out in.

25+ years and you haven’t changed a bit.

I’m glad you received your shotgun.

I've changed a lot.

I suspect you're not understanding the situation.


Thanks. I am too.
