I watched a UPS driver stop in front of my house, sit there for a minute, then drive off without ever leaving the truck. Minutes later, my tracking status changed to "Delivery Attempted, No One Home." I called the office right away and I guess they forced him to turn around and come back.


I don't get this. I mean do they not realize they have to deliver that package at some point? Why not just do it?

my guess is that UPS puts a shift delivery quota, and they're overextended. "oh, these guys weren't home" is a quick way to bypass a lot of time and effort.

Did they cross-rotate your tires when you had the rotors changed? Depending on the age of your tires and the frequency and style of rotation, if tires are cross-rotated the belts can move somewhat within the tires causing unevenness in the tires.


I'm not sure, but tires are the only other thing I can think of at this juncture. I'm going to pick up snow tires soon so I will know then if it's a tire issue.

It wasn't even signature only. I get that it's annoying to walk up to the door, ring, have nobody be have for the nine thousandths time for that time and then leave with the package. But just walk up and hurl my package at the door and walk off. I don't even care if you ring.

Our UPS guy doesn't play any games like the one you came across but he does not ring.

If this package doesn't get delivered tomorrow, I am screwed. I hate UPS. I hate USPS, too, but not as much because they can just leave the package inside my building.

There was a 5 train stopped today because of a sick passenger and I was like... I bet it's ebola.

UPS guys in the suburbs are an entirely different type of person than in the city. 


Another reason not to live in the city.

I have been "partying hearty" to where now I've got balloons under my eyes look like Paul Bearer.

Whenever I find a song I really like, I end up playing it to death on a repeat binge and it loses its luster within days.

I should stop doing that.
