I checked my phone messages and there was one from fedex saying "your dog is outside and unrestrained, we cannot deliver". (the dog wont hurt a fly).

Not only did he not go see who was in the driveway when my dog was barking, but he also didnt answer the phone.

crap 🙁


thats why you sign a release so they can just drop it off. provided you trust your neighbors not to steal it.

i dont blame the fedex guy for not messing with your dog. he has no idea how nice or vicious your dog may be.

sucks waiting on a package, tho. id just go pick it up, instead of wasting time here.

i did sign the release. he wouldnt get out of his truck to even leave it on my driveway. i guess my dog was jumping on his door trying to claw his way in. :roll:

would you risk it with a strange dog? i wouldnt. not worth it. maybe your dog shouldnt have been roaming around unattended?

yeah u posted a few times your brother was a moron-didn't he go to compusa once and pick up overpriced crap or something along those lines?

no, i would have slit his throat for that. that was his retarded friend. in that story, i helped him assemble it, and due to the crappy parts it was a POS and i got blamed for his problems. that was the thanks i got for driving 45min home from college to help him. :thumbsdown:

haha! what a dick even though you helped him, meaning you did everything.

yeah i "helped" 😉. lets see....msi kt400 board (i had IDE problems twice before with this same board) and what do you know? IDE problems, i had to run the hard drive as a slave off of IDE2 to install windows. and a powmax PSU, do i even need to say anything about that one? cheap RAM and a 5700LE. and you dont even want to know the prices he paid...

 
I've signed for packages before at client's offices....they're out at lunch, UPS guy comes in, i sign for it.

oh, does your brother know how to take out the trash?

Hey, that's what my friend says about his pitbull too.

well if the fedex guy is afraid to open his door and leave a package on the friggen driveway because of a dog, he needs to find a new job.

drop the package? so what if it breaks, or your dog tears it up? im sure wed see a thread about that, too.

doesnt matter what color or breed a dog is, he doesnt know your sweet little puppy from a trained pit fighter.

if youre only posting about how stupid your brother is, then there was no need for any comments about the fedex driver.

So, you lacked the foresight to inform your brother that a package was coming, you left your stupid dog loose on the lawn, and your stupid, lazy brother couldn't be bothered to either see what the dog was barking about or answer the phone, but it's the fedex driver's fault?

And, to top it all off, you construct a post on ATOT just so you can bleat incessantly about having to wait one extra day for your package, blame everyone else but your own damn self for not having it, squeal like a stuck pig for not having it, and then, when someone points out that you could have expended less energy actually going and getting the damn package instead of crying 'till your mascara ran down your tragically disappointed face, you get all pissy and testy.

Suck it up, Sally, your slip is showing.
