The Answer to Everything (at UPS)

[browniehound]

NO, like my Mom always said "kill em with kindness" always works for me!

I have to agree. As soon as you start acting nice, angry people change their tone.

I know when I'm angry and I bump into a nice (not overly), down to earth person, he or she will always change my attitude. At least with them, lol!

I will say I agree also, although the job of brightening everyones day does get old after awhile. But I have calmed many an irate customer by just not responding angrily when they are angry.
You know how a dog turns its head like its trying to figure out what you are saying, I act like my dog and it usually takes them down several notches, if it dont Im gone anyway who cares.

If someone is yelling at you, screaming at you, or in general just being a stugwad, there is no better thing in the world to do in reply than to just say nothing, and SMILE.

I could care less about making their day better - doing the above usually makes the jerk's head explode. Which, since they were a stughead, makes my day better.

 

[over9five]

Yup, when I run into some son of a stug, I just smile at 'em. P/Os 'em even more!!

If you want to watch someone totally come unglued, tell them you forgive them for the way they are talking to you.

 

[Livin the Dream?]

apparently you hang out with a higher class of women than I do.

LOL

Better yet, tell them you will pray for them. Result is complete transformation. They are very confused on how they should react.

What goes around comes around. Just when you feel like reaching over and slapping the capillaries out of someone's face, don't lose hope. Sit back and bide your time. In a matter of minutes, days, months or years, it's always comes back to bite your adversary's arse.

all I say is "No habla" and then walk away.

After much careful research, plus tons of personal experience, I have come up with, what I feel, is the answer to everything at UPS. I am willing to share this knowledge with my UPS brothers & sisters, in the hopes that you, too, can have a simpler, hassle-free existence at UPS. There are two answers, actually that will fit into any possible situation that may arise;

1. "I Do Not Recall"
2. "I'll Work On That"

I have found that there is nothing that comes up at UPS that one or both of these answers does not handle completely.

I have, however, found that answering "I Do Not Recall" to someone saying "hello" is somewhat awkward; however, I have decided awkward is fine.

3. Must have been a different plan

It seems work well in alot of different situations at UPS

What to do when being yelled and sprayed in verbal anger at; Interrupt the person and ask them in a calm and quiet voice " Did you happen to see the current price of coffee beans in Columbia?" then you get THE LOOK of confusion, and then go for the kill with " and I can't believe that damn squirrel stole my nuts off the porch this morning again, damn!! " such confusion will prompt you to ask if they are doing OK? this should defuse allot of icky situations and make people think YOUR NUTS!

Happy Motoring!

i still remember as a kid my dad was in a road rage thing with another guy. the other guy pulls up next to the passenger side and starts screaming. i turn and look at my dad and he just gave him a big WINK and smile and i look back to the other dude and he starts screaming even more about him being a (alternate lifestyle) -which he isnt lol. it really put the guy off. way more so than the finger would have

Also another thing to do when giving these answers, is wait a little longer than normal to answer.. just enough to make them uncomfortable.. its amazing how some people can't handle waiting...

I don't care who you are, that there was funny..

I was dealing on a car like that once. The salesman came down several thousand dollars in three attempts at a price and I never said a word. If you don't believe me, ask my wife. She was embarassed and said she would never go with me to buy another car. Hey....it worked.

.........oh yeah......I bought the car.
