Due to the shape of the earth, it's actually shorter this way

I can care less if it's triangle shape & they use UFOs to get it here. Just get it here.

It's how USPS gets the stack of cash to Miami to export to Columbia. They use random packages as cash mules.

Bought an ebay card missing numbers. My store dis activated the card. Ebay won't help me until activated and they won't activate it. Get to call the store chains corporate office.

I can't believe you're still trying to get this crap resolved.

Can you get your bank to reverse the charges?

I paid cash. So I may end up leaving each an honest review with the bbb.

My son told me the Infraction 6s I bought was left on the front doorstep by the courier. He found it when he got home from school. It was delivered between 8:40am and 10:45am so it was out the front of my house, easily seen from the road for about 5-6 hours. It was supposed to be signed for. We don't really have an issue with parcel theft in my area but that's not the point.

They do that here too. The mail carrier here signs it for you, and just leaves it. I kinda get it though. Probably leftover Covid habits.

I'm getting tired of my internet company sending me emails about a survey with regards to the emails they sent me about a service outage that took place while I was asleep, and was fixed before I woke up. I didn't take the survey the first time you emailed and asked me to, so what makes you think sending me another email that it isn't going in the trash bin too? I mean, think of all that computing power you just wasted... again.

I agree, leftover habits from covid. I don't really mind for the smaller packages but this was a big Arrma box with expensive contents. It would have stood out like dogs balls from the road. My front door is only about 15meters from the road/intersection.

Yeah, I live in an apartment. Any time a package is too big for the parcel locker, it's left at my door.

Credit card fraud

Grandma got letters in the mail on someone trying to open up bank accounts in her name.

I also just had a parcel wrongly delivered 5 houses down the street. Luckily for me the guy that received it was honest and delivered it to my house himself.

My wife said he was really apologetic as he had started to open it before he realised it wasn't addressed to him.

I've had a few parcels delivered to my next-door neighbour but he's used to it now.

I had to apologize to neighbors before. My dad I'd getting up there and wants to open then read. Doesn't help gw and the neighbor have similar names.

I've only been driving for 4 days, and I have created a habit of using my signal every time I'm not sure if I need to use it or not. I got my permit last week. I turned 15 in April so it was now or never if I wanted to get my license on my b-day next year.

Turn signal usage appears to be a declining habit.....even though it is law.

Rant... Why are schools located on main roads??? I'm not suggesting that schools should be difficult to get to but putting hundreds of school children on main street is a bad idea.
Putting crossing guards on main street is a bad idea.
Requring 12 school buses to stop at 4 different schools on main street is a bad idea.
Mashing work rush hour traffic and dropping little kids off at school with their pack packs and lunches and computers and their projects and... this takes time!!! Bad idea.

MAKING EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO DRIVES ON MAIN STREET STOP FOR EACH ONE OF THE ABOVE LISTED BAD IDEAS EVERY DAY, IS A VERY BAD IDEA!!!

My kids are long out of school but boy does sitting in utter nonsense traffic persist!

Not quite sure what you're saying. Are you saying you don't always know when you should use it?

I leave one signal going at all times just in case

Well, at least you're abiding the law while you're doing donuts.

So, there is a hill in Corbett Oregon which is where my school is and the hill goes down and there is a road that wraps around the hill and the road on top of the hill connects into the one that wraps around the hill. They both go strait it basically makes an upsidedown Y
