This post actually started yesterday, when I took a couple of bottles of sauce to the post office to mail. I didn't go to my local post office, where we have no computer, and the Postmaster doesn't bother to ask me the "usual" questions and he automatically hand-writes a receipt for me.
So yesterday, I went to the "other" post office and handed the clerk 2 small boxes. The young man at the counter asked me if there was "anything perishable, fragile, hazardous, or potentially dangerous..." in the box.
(and so I think to myself....yea, it's hot sauce and legally potentially perishable, the glass bottle is fragile, it's hazardous if splashed in the eye and definitely dangerous if a wimp gets ahold of it...)
So My ([sub]dumbass self[/sub]) says..."yes, all of the above"
The clerk pulls up short. "All Of The Above????" "yea" I said, "It's Hot Sauce"....
The clerk's freaking out and handling the box like I said it contained anthrax, shoving it back across the counter to me..."Well" the clerk says,"If it contains all of the above, I can't accept this, I can't take this...if it's hazardous..."
"Dude"..I says...." It's HOT SAUCE! "...roll-my-eyes---- [sub]sheesh, some people have no sense of humor![/sub]
Situation #2- I just opened a package of labels for a 3-line price gun type printer. The labels were put onto the rolls backwards and wouldn't work in a price-gun type printer. The mfg says since it was more than 60 days past the order date (it was actually 9 months later....but whatever...) they weren't going to do anything for me. Well, a few links up the food chain...kick in the B-factor, and I have a replacement pack of labels on the way! I may even post a recomendation of the product if the replacement labels get here quickly.
Situation #3, just found out our van has a manufacturer's defect that has been part of a class action law suit and our dealer never bothered to mention that when we took the car in for service relating to that particular item.
So for tonight, #%@* IT I[m dranking!
past that, it's spring break! And we're takin' a break! WOOHOO!
