Quick question

In the event that you ordered something you really, really, REALLY wanted. Something you wanted so much the anticipation of its arrival makes you giddy. Something you did package tracking on every single day – maybe even twice a day - just to make sure it was going to arrive on time, as promised - no backorders, no rescheduled shipping, no excuses. In the event, say, that a person was just that excited to get that special something and that person knew for a fact that the special something was going to be arriving via UPS this very day, but, unfortunately, UPS does not deliver to said person’s home until 5:00pm but as luck would have it that very person saw the UPS man driving around the other side of town at precisely 11:00am. Would it be appropriate, err acceptable, for that person to follow that UPS man for just a little while – no more than a couple of miles, of course, and ever so kindly jump out of her car and ask the UPS man if there is any way he might rifle through his truck for just a moment and her find special package?

No, no it wouldn’t be acceptable? Okay, I think I made the right choice then – ugh, I mean, I will tell my friend. Thanks.

  2. I can relate. I'm an obsessive shipping tracker. I have not, however, stalked the UPS man! :)
