Same Day Courier! Kinda....

A guy who drives for a living, afraid to pull into a driveway. That's funny. Painful, granted, but still funny.

Houston, the chemicals have landed!
TODAY is Someday! The driver just dropped them off.

So being the good Canadian I am I apologized to the driver for yelling at him and explained to him that like I said on the phone, he was just my final straw, he went on to tell me his side of the story about coming in the driveway, turns out him not coming all the way in the driveway may have been partly my fault (well Mr Rabbit's, see, he put some Halloween decorations in the driveway and decided he liked them and they have stayed).

So Delivery Dude gets to the end of the driveway, it is cut out of a cedar stand so imagine tall trees on either side/tunnel kind of drive. He decides not to bring the truck in and will walk. He gets to the first turn and... he sees a pirate skull hanging from a tree... continues on a little and starts to think about allll the movies that start just like this...

Ok, so apparently the problem here wasn't that the driver lacked the technical skill necessary to pull into a driveway, or was too lazy to walk for more than 12 feet.

Turns out the problem was the guy was just a wuss?

LOL.. ok, now that's funny..

In his defense, he was quite small in stature, I swear I saw him visibly relax when I apologized lmao!!

I'm not small and if I had seen skulls and had a rabid PR go off on my on the phone, I'd be a bit on edge too when I delivered the package.

I must be part-Canadian because I totally would have apologized, too. Well, New York shares a border, so maybe some Canadian rubbed off on me.

Not that you had no cause to yell at the guy. Even if we're nice 90% of the time, sometimes we have to be in touch with our inner beeyotches to get sh*t done, right? And that's where some New York has rubbed off on you!

I swear, if those chemicals weren't delivered within a day or two, I was going to go the store that does my color film, buy the chemicals from them, and mail them to you myself! Hell, I might have even road-tripped to Ontario!

So apparently I need to start channeling my "inner-canadian" more often. Hmm.. food for thought. Lol
