[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 211015, member: 4653"] Guyinbrown, Man, have you opened a can of worms. When customers say "what is it?" has to be the most annoying thing to me. They must think we have a list of all our packages and where they were shipped from. Why else would they be so stupid as to ask what it is? I mean, they are the one recieving the delivery, why the heck would I have a better idea than them about what it is? Another thing I find more amusing than irritating is doing house calls and you leave the package, ring the bell, and they come out and they look at the package like "what the heck is this?" My helper picked up on this on his own last peak and we laughed everytime someone had a puzzled look on their face when we dropped something off. I know this is against the methods, but when its summer and I'm on quiet streets, I don't ring doorbells (If they can't hear a large brown truck rumbling through their neiborhood than they won't hear a doorbell). I don't like to ring bells because I want to get off their property ASAP and if I ring the bell people are more prone to come out and want to shoot the breeze with me. Mind you, this is at 6:10 at night when they are already home from work and I'm trying to get home from work. Let's face it, people know the sound of the UPS truck and they know the approximate time their driver comes by. So when people complain that I didn't ring the bell, I think they just want to complain about something. I'm not talking about during the winter when all the windows are closed or its raining. I always ring then. I'm talking summer time when everyone is outdoors and everyone knows when a car or truck is driving down their street. [/QUOTE]
