That's some dang funny stuff... I don't care who you are!!

If you've ever thrown a package marked fragile 15 feet onto a porch because you're too dang lazy to walk the extra distance....

You might be a redneck UPS driver!!

Nice flat-top.... Delta One Charlie Kilo

We use FedEx and not UPS because my honey gets a sweet airline discount on FedEx. The first time we used it to overnight, it was supposed to be $38 but with his discount it was $11. I'd rather use UPS since I work there but unless we get a sweet deal like this, it ain't happenin'. I wonder how long FedEx will continue to do this. From what I hear, even UPS used to get the discount but when I asked about it a few months ago, we were not in the system anymore.

I found out what the problem was
 
This guy is definitely going to get reprimanded by management. He clearly blew off safety procedures when he failed to keep three points of contact exiting the package car.

Other than that, it was a textbook delivery.

I used to be able to throw a Gateway computer monitor from the back of an AMJ can on to the conveyor belt so that it slide perfectly without bouncing! :D

At 3 other PAX airlines over the course of 18 years, ALWAYS had a deal with Fred ... one of those was a scumbag commuter, and another was an upstart national ... so they weren't very discriminating !

Personally, I don't blame the guy a bit. If you can't trim your shrubs better than that - you deserve it. :)

Agreed. for someone w/ such a great security system, you would think he would spend some money on his landscaping.

Makes me wonder about the authenticity.

Authenticity? Man drug dealers don't care about thier landscaping :p They DO care though when the Police are about to raid the place :D I hope he insured that BONG that broke!
