[QUOTE="Washu234, post: 599661, member: 10258"] [b]Smelly Guardian Angel.[/b] Friday September 11th 2009 - It rained all day here so you know how it is - soaking wet, still smiling and acting like everything is ok to the customers. In and out, just trying not to think about your wet socks. Its about 7:45pm and I have 8 stops left. I walk into one of my stops (on the 11th floor) which is traditionally light (20 docs or so) to find they put out about 45 5lb boxes and 110 envelopes (60 of which were SDRs w/o stickers)... on a friday. Luckily the boxes weren't huge so I got them all on my wheeler. I get the cart in the elevator out the front door, and wouldn't you know one of the boxes gets crushed and the load shifts so I lose about 30 of the boxes on the sidewalk. The rain hadn't been bad so I was just in my vest and short sleeves, and wouldn't you know as soon as I lose my load the rain just pours. So I'm soaked in the rain repacking my cart and these rich people just walk by enjoying their night as they watch poor FedEx try to manage. Out of nowhere a homeless man comes up and says 'Surely Fred wouldn't mind terribly if I help, I'm not here to steal' This guy looks and smells like crap but its all I got so I accept. The whole time he keeps repeating himself stuttering "Surely Fred wouldn't mind terribly if I help, I'm not here to steal". About 20 times he said this as we walked the half block to my truck. It became more apparent as I tried to thank him that he wasn't all there. When I said thank-you he just repeated his phrase and walked away stuttering about Fred. [/QUOTE]
