How about, "Ohh, my nephew works for UPS somewhere. His name is _____. Do you know him?"

That's like saying, "Ohh, my nephew lives in Texas too. His name is _____. Do you know him?"

or "Ohh, my Husband was in the Air Force in 1983 also. Do you know_____?"

Seriously, what are the odds of me knowing someone in the company from some random location in the US??

Being an EAM driver I get to hear a few good ones. some of my favorites"

"Man, you guys are early today"

"Where's __________?"

"We don't open until 9:00. If you deliver here again could you remember that?" (also along those lines are the 8:30 commit EAM's the have "Earliest possible delivery time 9:00" as a note at the bottom of the label)

"Is that all you have for me today?"

Or when I'm working on Saturday........

"Making the big bucks today huh?"

"You guys work Saturdays?"

"Must suck not having any doors on that truck......."


Even better - 8:00AM commit time, but on the bottom of the label "Earliest Delivery Time 11:30".

Here's one I ran into last week and forgot about. How about when it's raining, the signature screen on diad IV is wet and customer tries to wipe off the water with their finger only to find a jumbled mess on the screen when they go to sign. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

And then they ask " Can you erase that? " No, just sign right over the top of it.
 
Female customer: Do you have a package for me?

Driver: Yes I do and I have this box here for you also.

Better know your customer well when you throw that one out.

I tell the customer, " Don't be so stupid and shallow like all the other people on my area. That is an urban legend!."

I don't even know where to begin on the driver pet peeves, so I'll just tell you what really gets under my skin. Its the dorks that say "is it ticking?" I mean, how many times did you get beat up in Jr high? I don't know about anyone else, but i never had some hot secretary say "is it ticking?", its always some pencil necked geek who thinks he's a freaking comedian.

Also, the usual "Is it hot enough for yaaa" really irks me too. Or people wo ask if its raining out, snowing, are we getting snow, or how much snow? I'm not a meterologist. If I was, I'd be on TV and not delivering bundles. Look out your freaking window lady and don't bother me with your assinine questions.

I love walking into a place and hearing, “You’re Late!”. I usually respond with, yep, sure am, hope I’m not pregnant.
