I had the following convo with a customer: [Me driving away after leaving package on porch] “Hey!” [I stop and get out] “Do you need a signature?” “No.” “I saw you leave a package. You don’t need a signature?” “If I’m driving away, it probably means I don’t need a signature.” “What?” [I get in the truck and drive away]

I was doing my extra on my buddies route once, around Christmas time, it was cold, getting dark, trying to get done. And these people have lived in the same house for long enough that I recognize them (remember, not my route), and not for the right reasons. I'm jumping the street out. After I deliver their mail, charging out after me: "THESE PEOPLE DON'T LIVE HERE!!" "Lady, how the hell would I know?"
And yes, it was the correct address. Even though they don't have their address on their house.

I delivered a package to a lady a couple days ago. She was questioning me about why it was different than what she ordered. I told her "Lady, I don't know what you ordered. I only know what I'm delivering."

Yes, I was told the other night that printing out Mapquest directions for a patient was not a proper service recovery for when they yell out, "I'm tired of this bullshit and I'm going to another hospital!"
