I can understand those who have a morbid fear of dogs for whatever reason(maybe they got bit as a little kid) but I am talking about the kind that have no fear or love for faithful fido. | |

The same people everyday with the same old lines...... Everyday when I go into the Napa store in one of the small towns I deliver to the manager smirks at me and says " Fed Ex was here an hour ago" my reply- "yeah, with yesterdays sh#t." Or when people "ask whats in it?" I reply, "I dont know, this is the only pkg in my truck that I didnt open" | |

I hit the Dunkin drive thru on my way to work every day. Well, today a woman in front of me is leaning out the window with a list. A LIST at the drive thru! That's just pissa lady. I just want to zip thru and get my one coffee, but nooooooo. You're too darn fat and lazy to take your LIST inside!

Dispatchers who send me a pickup that isn't in my area, then 25 minutes later send me the exact same pickup.

Getting an oca for 99 packages. Walk in the office on the 62nd floor and there is a letter on the desk. The receptionist says "oh no, not 99 packages, 99 pages."

it really gets old listening to this "spanish" | How is that any different than the hispanics that try to speak English and can't be understood? I encounter at least one a day when I am delivering.
Did you ever think that maybe those people that are speaking in such ***ty spanish are trying to learn it so they can communicate with the hispanics that refuse to learn english?

 When I'm on call and carry all my stuff out to the truck that is assigned to the run and realize the guy is too lazy to take his stuff out and now I have to unhook it because if I use his stuff and something goes wrong with it he'll blame me for it. When after working all night and I'm walking out and the daytime brown guys are walking in they can't even have the courtesy to return a "Good morning" greeting.
