There was a big thing going on in Tewksbury last year. People in a new developement complained because they could smell the farm down the road.
Well the farms been there for 200 years. Should have thought of that before you built near one.

Massachusetts is usually known for raising a stink, not reducing one.

I always asked permission, I had one dog I used to give treats to, she eventually developed diabestes and carbohydrates were off limits, she hated me after that, could not understand why I stopped treating her, it was sad because she would get so mad and bite at me, so frustrated. It's possible her dog was on a restricted or special diet for some reason. | |

this is probably the best thread to insert this in as the first 1 minute shows an employee being disciplined. However if you watch the whole thing, you can probably use your imagination to easily see how this might be a day in the life of a ups manager | |

I had a national complaint filed against me for leaving 4 car tires in front of a woman's garage door in the rain.... Her complaint was that the tires were now ruined because they were left out in the rain... | |

No joke...I once got yelled at...loudly...for making a delivery on a Saturday. First by the receiving clerk then by the clerks supervisor.
'What are you doing here?' they asked rudely.
'You're supposed to call us!'
Apparently some account rep told them we would call them when we had a delivery. | |

While making a huge QVC box delivery to an upstaris apt. The women yelled at me for opening the door so wide and the cat got out. She wanted me to place it inside her living room, yet not let the cat out. | |

I went back to the truck and found his BMW convertible with the roof down next to the truck, sadly by the time i left it was full of dust. | |

A guy wouldn't pay his C.O.D. amount and we kept bringing his
package back to the center. He called screaming that we were
Holding His Package Hostage. | |
