It's funny how when you're waiting for a package, every car that passes by sounds like a UPS truck...

[erikiksaz]

Don't you guys just hate this? It tends to get annoying. I sit at my comp, and i hear this loud rumbling sound. "Yay, here comes my [insert new computer part here]!!" By the time you run out to catch a glimpse of the truck, you notice that there is *no* truck, just a van, or grocery truck of some sort. Doesn't this get annoying guys?

VRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

there it is! go get it!

 

[ManSnake]

Yup, waiting sure isn't a pleasant feeling.

 

[MrBond]

Ahhh, you are lucky to have the luxury of getting to wait for your stuff to be delivered. I, am at work while my stuff gets delivered at home. And since my family is never home, my DVD drive has been riding on a FedEX truck for 3 days waiting to get to me.

It did get delivered today. Here's hoping it isn't DOA, I won't be a happy camper.

In an unrelated note, only one hour left at work! Wooooohoooooo!

 

[viewton]

waaaait a second, you haven't been waiting for a 2.5 ton crate, have you?

 

[AaronP]

a 2.5 ton crate with some very special contents? Worth about 9 mill? That was my package. good thing I had insurance on it.

 

[erikiksaz]

hah, actually no. i was waiting on some interconnects for my headphone amp.

 

[zimu]

holy crap i know that feeling
and i check the ups tracking page like every 2 mins, just incase for some reason they just left it at my front door or something.
and the clock is seen to slow...

 

[iamfried]

I am waiting for something too. My new Palm Pilot, but usually the UPS guy has come already. I guess I can stop doing dishes at the kitchen sink looking out for him.

 

[jaybert]

hahah...the UPS guy basically knows me. There was this 3 week period where almost every single day I had a package delivered. He would just leave the package at the door and leave after a while since it was reoccuring every day.

 

[daveman]

I usually keep looking out the window hoping they will be there also. UPS usually don't deliver to my house until 5:30-6:30, I must be there last stop.

 

[AppleTalking]

Yep, I definitely know the feeling. Although I do have a slight advantage: my dog knows the sound of the UPS truck's motor. Whenever that truck gets within 10 blocks of my house, he starts barking!

I also have been known to track my packages every couple of hours to see if they've moved yet.

ups is suck
they are slow and dont care :|

 

[Alienwho]

I've been waiting for a package for over a week thinking every car is the UPS truck, and now i'm thinking I got trolled! :|

 

[cmdavid]

ups man no need me to drop off package.... just leaves it in the garage at the back... besides.. ive got a chihuaha... and hes got a clear view outside.. and all he does is sit at the window waiting for anybody to get within 100 yards or so of our house before he goes off, just like an alarm clock.. lousy good for nothin.... oh well..

so to answer your question.. no.. its not funny....

 

[AncientPC]

You get used to it. Once you start ordering lots of stuff off the net you just don't really care anymore.

 

[erikiksaz]

yeah, i guess patience does come with experience. something is strange about ups though. my friend lives about half a mile from me, and yet his packages ALWAYS come around 10 am. my packages always tend to come at 3pm. how strange is this?

 

[pulpp]

its a tease

<< a 2.5 ton crate with some very special contents? Worth about 9 mill? That was my package. good thing I had insurance on it. >>
