Ditch the Keys

[satellitedriver]

I could have saved UPS millions of dollars on the key less start and key less bulkhead door.
Just go old school UPS.
Leave the car running and never close your bulkhead door.

Why couldn't you just let it slide for once in your freakin life? Why?

At least she has a friend!

Thank you for your concern.

Perhaps you should focus on your crush on menotyou.

 

[menotyou]

crush on menotyou.

Why do you care who does what with whom? Is your life that pathetic that you worry who might be talking to me? It sure looks that way. Wow. Talk about needing to get a life. 9 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep, 7 hours of menomenomenomenomenomeno. Pathetic.

I'm trying to get a sign posted by the building's exit door that the driver's use on their way to the employee parking lot, reminding them to take the fob off their belt loop and return it to the package car so we can move their package car as needed.

YUP

Just did that last night !! Walked out of the building, drove 20 miles home, took off my jacket and saw it hanging on my belt loop. I figured the wand the security guy had would have alerted me I still had it on. Only my 4th day using it, but I drove all the way back and found they can still use a spare key to bring the truck to the pumps.

You remind me of a fly.
Flies eat sh** and bother people.
Now, go fly away!

Whatever. I hope you enjoy your homemade mac and cheese served with a side of "woe is me".

 

[menotyou]

My mac and cheese is quite delicious.

 

[menotyou]

Whatever, woe is me.

I dont care for the automatic door-opening feature. The actuator arm that pushes the door open generates a resistance against closing it, to the point where I really have to yank on it hard in order to shut it. It would be easier if the door just unlocked and slid freely in either direction.

Could that be jealousy raising its ugly head? Shoo fly!

The seatbelt just slows you dow. Ditch the seatbelt and you could also save 6 minutes per day.

Yes, hopefully it will slow you down as your body is thrown toward the windshield!

I don't use the fob at all. I take it off the key in the morning and put the key in my shorts pocket. When I need to start the truck, I just reach down and press the button. I just did not like making all that jingling noise from stop to stop. No element of surprise at all. Much better with no fob.

Excellent idea on saving time with no seat belt. If UPS thought we could do 4 more stops an hour without the seat belt, there would be focus groups in Atlanta trying to figure out how UPS could legally do this.

Yup. There's a spare key locked in the little safe mounted (usually) on the floor to the left of the clutch or brake pedal, but the mechanics don't like entering the safe because they are then required to reprogram the combination.

The mechanics may also have a spare key in their file cabinet.

Amen.
I can still play that slow motion video in my head from the time I put my face through the windshield of a 1963 VW.

 

[satellitedriver]

Why do you care who does what with whom?

Wow!
The correct usage of who and whom, in the same sentence.
I am impressed with the grammar, and the message.

So, you like to operate in stealth mode. Who are you sneaking up on, helen?
