Creative ways of "getting back"

[JustDeliverIt]

Society is going to the dumps though. The UPS guy used to be a fixture of the American community. Now it’s just some guy -ing himself in a roach-filled Subaru and tossing packages from the street

Agree about the state of society. Beyond that none of what you wrote is true. Think what you will but leave drama to the finer sex.

Sounds like someone drives a Subaru

That is an antiquated definition. Words and their meanings evolve along with everything else. As RTW laws worked their way across the country, the term was used to describe any non-union worker performing bargaining unit work. Even the dictionary defines it as such now.

Hope you had a great Christmas union brother.

I know your specific context is the term "scab", but your comment in general bothers me in that you state: "words and their meanings evolve..."
From a sociological perspective, just because a bunch of people agree with a "new" definition, doesn't mean that the true / original definition has evolved...

The Dems and Libs are redefining words, meaning and history every day and that is not right!

I will give you from my perspective

If you're performing work in the union shop and you're not a part of the union you are a scab

True that sucks but I make the best of it. Only has the driver seat remaining. It came for almost free and I use it for my honey bee hive removal business.
You should stop by so I can give you a ride in it.

A bunch of these union toadies are liberals behaving. They like things cherry picked and also HATE the truth.
The word, "scab", has a definite definition. It's either a union member that crosses a picket line or a non union member that does the same. A PVD is not a "scab". The entire population here that despise PVDs are nothing more than guilt riddled wannabee tough guys that have minds shut by their union puppet strings.
Folks should damn well remember that PVDs HELP the RPCD employees. EVERY ONE I did work for was very glad to use me.
Btw, doesn't that make these RPCDs to blame?
After I finish my run (only Tues - Thurs now) and I am asked to help drivers, that won't get back to the center before 11 without help, it isn't me robbing them of stops. It's THEM ASKING ME TO TAKE STOPS. I guess these drivers suck too?
Maybe you all can make a pact? No more using PVDs to lighten your loads? See how that works out.
Yup, a lot of liberal thought process being used. "waaaahhh I want it both ways".

Oh, I understand why you guys feel the way you do....

I'll keep my personal thoughts on that to myself (for once).

I just put it out there brother.
My opinions amplified by many other union members.

Hopefully this issue will be addressed in the next contract but as far as the right to work states go if I had to work with one new scabs I would never even speak with them or look at them

 

[Wally]

These scabs have a bad attitude.

"You will never be a RPCD" ... @MECH-lift

 

[Mutineer]

You've been on here a couple months intentionally and repeatedly antagonizing union members.

As expected, they heap scorn and derision upon you.

They don't like you.

And you keep coming around for more.

my honey bee hive removal business.

Bees don't like their hives removed.

They defend their hive and attempt to sting anyone who does this.

You say you do this for a "side business."

And now it all makes sense. You simply like to antagonize. And get yer jollies when things don't like you.

Throughout history this is true, even well before the liberal movement. If people agree with a "new" definition then the word has, in fact, evolved. Like it or not, it's just the truth. The N-word didn't start out with black people, the EFF-word didn't start out as it is used today, etc. There are probably hundreds of common words used every day, probably even by you, that didn't start out as you use them today. I'm no liberal woke doosh, some things change and evolve over time, it doesn't have to be an agenda.

I sort of agree with you…

I guess “Let’s go Brandon” will forever be the vulgar code for “ Joe Biden” and I’m cool with that!!

I get the frustration, today's media and politics are so consuming and disgusting. History is what it is, can't change it, learn from it or repeat it.

LET'S GO BRANDON!!!

You need to
Pay more attention to what’s going on around you….
Extract your head from its cradle.

Hold on to your ass my friend

 

[Box Ox]

No sooner had it landed and this big goofy late teens-20yo comes out and says, "sir, why did you throw my package". I said, "show me damage". He said that's not the point. I was "disrespectful ". I walked away. Then he says, "don't do it again" and this earned him a pay back visit. I have plenty of ideas but I bet ya'll can get creative. Thanks.
For the inevitable flamers, I'm not obsessing over the issue and it occupies a bare minimum of thought time. I feel it's my duty to educate this young man .

You're in the wrong business if something that small burns your ass up enough to think it deserves a "pay back visit" to a customer. I'll be watching for you in the news.

 

[bleedinbrown58]

Nope. I don't do that but plenty of your pals do.

Ya'll put yourselves in my position. I don't have a career to protect or be the slightest bit concerned about. Say that's you as well. Some little turd that's 1/3 your age "scolds" you for absolutely no reason (if you argue this go back & reread). He's a privileged POS and you are going to allow him to speak to you this way? You aren't going to do anything about it? Forget that you are a RPCD for UPS. Pretend you are not and tell me you are going to let him, or anyone, say, "don't do it again"?
This kid did this because he knew that he was empowered by the fact that he was the customer and I was his "boy". Ya'll weren't there and didn't hear his tone or see his body language.
If you haters want to allow little privleged wannabee bad bottoms to disrespect and abuse you go ahead. Not me. He will realize the error of his ways. It's my job to correct him seeing that I was the target of his poor behavior. It's really not at all complicated.

What, is this your first day? Your job is to deliver the package to the door. The only “target of poor behavior”was the package you tossed like it was garbage. Now you want to get back at a customer for “disrespecting” you? Last time I checked, you want respect, you give respect.
