Funniest moment you've had

OrionsBitch

Not...
The one day that a man being chased and shot at with automatic weapons jumped in a co workers package car telling him to drive drive !!!! The driver sped up with him and he jumped out when he felt safe. Then the Center had the nerve to send me a message to finish that drivers pickups because he was not able to get to before close times
Somehow I doubt this. But if it did happen that's pretty funny lol

A while back we had a new driver who though you put in the weight for irregs instead of the number of irregs. He had like 6 hours of bonus. I think at the end of the day he had over 400 irregs in his board.

My manager thought he was trying to steal time. Was ready to walk him out. The kid was still in his 30 days.

When working preload a :censored2: had come loose out of a box. The guy next to me picked it up and started swinging it around. We were on the sort aisle. Started yelling to the part time sups hey what do I we wanna do with this. The entire aisle started loosing it. Well, what we didn't know was the center manager was up above watching us. He walked down to the aisle (he had a strong Philly accent) and grabs it and starts yelling hey this ain't no day care, if yous wanna act like a buncha kids get outta here. He took the :censored2: and the box and left. By the way he acted we were pretty sure it was going to his house.

Had an IE guy riding with me doing a time study. He had his stopwatch/clipboard thingie in his hand. I told him when I head out the door for a stop, he needs to get out of my way or I'll run him over. He stopped one time to do something with his clipboard and I steamrolled him. He landed on some grass, and it didn't hurt him, but he ripped his pants from the zipper to the belt loop. He didn't follow me into businesses and up to doors for a couple of hours. I ended up going by my house. (I lived on area) and loaned him a pair of my brown pants to finish the day. Yeah, you could say the IE guy got into my pants, but hey, I made out well on the new time study. lol.

Ever think he was trying to help you by getting in your way? Why would you hurry during a time study?

Ever think he was trying
First of all, I never got in a hurry, period. Especially during a time study. This guy had a propensity to stand on the step and key info into his computer after I stopped. I just wanted to break him of the habit of camping out there. Plus, in my 38 years, I've never known an IE person to want to "help" anyone out.

On outbound radio, three different people come onto our channel to tell us unload is down, being completely unaware of each other.

Person 1: Unload is down! Unload is down at xxxx!!

Person 2: We're down! Unload's down!

Person 3: UNLOAD IS DOWN. UNLOAD IS DOWN.

Me: Hey, are we down yet?

Sup (who got it): I'm not sure...

Person 4 (who didn't get it): WE'RE DOWN!! WE'RE DOWN!!

Almost forgot about this one.


It was like mid-1980's (pre internet). I was a cover driver running an established

bid route. The next to last pickup before MailBoxes, was a residential.

You would deliver about 12-1pm and pickup around 6pm. This day, I decided

to make it one stop. They would get multiple big box shipments and ship out

smaller individual packages in the evening. Really nice people.


As I am stacking some boxes on the dolly, the female owner comes out

to make small talk about why I am so late. While trying to talk....

The next box I grab, the tape on the bottom breaks spilling the contents.


I was laughing so hard my gut hurt. She was screaming at me to shut up.

Turns out, their business was "adult toys". Everyone in the center knew....

except me.

Had my female center manager riding with me one day. Somehow she managed to get dark grease on her face. As she rubbed her eyes and touched her nose it eventually spread to most of her face. I let her run around like that for a good hour until she caught a glance of herself in a store window. She looked like she had theater black face paint on. Then she got all bent out of shape because I hadn't told her. Another time I lead her across a patch of ice I knew was there that was covered up with a light dusting of snow. I stepped over it. Behind me I heard her go down with a thud. That one cracked me up. I'm not normally this mean but her and I didn't see eye to eye so I cut her no slack.

That reminds me of one.

We have a driver that used to del to a warehouse that shipped out adult toys. They always joked around with each other.

One day he was leaving and as he was pulling away one of the employees slapped a large 14 inch purple :censored2: on the back of his truck. It was one with a big suction cup on one end. Another drive saw him and took a pic. You could clearly see him driving the truck in the picture so he sent it to everyone in their loop including the driver with the :censored2: on his truck.

This was a long time ago but I'll see if I can find someone in that loop that might still have the picture. ;)
