[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 280226, member: 10234"] I don't think we have any business being out and delivering at that time of night. For any reason, any time of year, anyplace. I am amazed that more "bad things" don't happen than do. It will take someone getting killed to change things. Just hope it isn't me or someone I know. As much as some people want their pkgs, most would rather wait until the next day as opposed to being wakened out of a sound sleep to answer the door. There was a time when people would not be scared to death to answer their door late in the evening. Of course, in those days, the odds of you actually delivering at that time of night were pretty slim. While I have never been met at a door with someone pointing a gun at me, I have been followed for up to an hour by a car full of people. I pointed out to a customer that I was delivering to, that I was sure that car going down the road would stop and turn around at anytime. Sure enough it did. He offered me one of his guns, but I declined. I made my one last stop and drove like a maniac towards the town the center was located in. Eventually they turned off. That's as close as I want to get to feeling like that again. This should be my last peak. I won't miss it. [/QUOTE]
