What is it? Don't know usually but the occasional "bowling ball" works just as well

Cold out there today isn't it.

Are you guys the only ones today or will someone else come around with more stuff later?

Did you deliver a package here at 4:45 this morning?

This must be your last stop took you long enough to get here.

Or the best as I struggle with an awkward looking over 70 they ask "is that heavy"

One of the best when I was jumping though was when a lady was at her front door waiting as soon as we pulled up she opened the inside door. Driver was looking for package I was standing outside truck waiting after 2-3 min I start to help him look, she is watching the whole time after another minute or so we sit down buckle up wave and leave the look on her face was priceless.

"These were not suppose to come here. Can you follow me to my place of buss.?"

I say, "how far?"

Customer, "about 3 miles away."

This also happened to me but in reverse. Lady orders supplies for her business and asks me if I can deliver them to her house, which was about 5 miles away and not on my delivery route. I politely told her I could not and she then offers me $40. I completed the delivery as they were addressed and went on my way. Now, if I would have had more time...

I love this thread, I must have heard every one of these comments at some point. Here's one I get a lot:

Customer: "I messed up my signature, can I erase it?"

Me: "Sure, just turn it upside down and shake it." [a la Etch-A-Sketch]

...sits back and watches the fun...

Knock on the front door and say "UPS."

Customer. "what do you want?"

I want you to get your lazy 300lbs off the couch and open the door. You need to sign for your Bowflex, that will probably be picked up by me on a later date.

should have said sure then address corrected each package and collected the $40. She would have been pissed off after she got another bill for shipping.

A while ago, picking up a defect Sony X-Box in Paris suburbs to the european repair warehouse somewhere in Germany.

The lady goes : "Any idea what time you'll be there ?"

Like I was having a nine-hour drive to Germany for THAT ONE parcel...

What can you answer to that ?

Merci, le site "Café Marron" est très sympa !
Been looking around this nice forum from time to time...
Pretty much interesting to see how we're all doing the EXACTLY SAME job on a daily basis, but on different parts of the world...

As a UPS driver in Paris, I pretty much HAVE to live in France...
Much more convenient.

How about some pics for the "How's the View..." thread, they don't have to be work related. I think we would get a kick out of that.

I had a female store owner ask me just once if I had brown underwear to go with my brown socks. I told her "yea, brown in back and yellow in front

."
She turned red and never commented on my brown socks ever again.

deepsouthmamaw · 06-07-2009, 09:25 PM

I can't stop laughing. Great answer.

Megansman · 06-14-2009, 04:54 AM

What is it? A Box. Who's it from? Me. Didn't you see me carrying it up here? No, really, who's it from? I don't care where they're from, just where they're going.

daddystacks · 06-14-2009, 06:41 PM

the customer asks me whats in the box. i always reply with: i'll tell you whats in the box when the mail man starts telling you how much your electric bill is.

bluehdmc · 06-14-2009, 06:45 PM

Feeder Driver here, don't really have stupid customer comments. I do get some from dispatchers though. Me, "going out", them, "whatcha got", me, "big grey box with numbers, full of smaller cardboard boxes."
Then when you give them the trailer number it comes up on their computer as to what the load is and where it's going. Some dispatchers will say, "meadowlands nite to parsippany preload" and leave it at that. Some ask, "Where are you going?", I usually reply, "Crazy."
Usually silence after that.
