^ Me personally? Nothing. Just commenting on their appalling behavior in this case.
Things that frustrate us all

Ah. I saw that after reading the former post and edited mine. It's terrible when shippers like UPS pull crap like that.
Just came from the post office and I hate folks who don't have their crap packed and taped and addressed before getting in line. I also hate people who waste the clerks time talking about some crap nobody else cares about. When you are done, leave so the line can move.
Word.
Damn.That's terrible. I've heard of them throwing a person's monitor when delivering them. It was on some tv show a bit ago. It's sick.
Found it.
It wasn't a UPS guy, but FEDEX...... But I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
A couple months ago I went to a local business. When I was pulling in, this other car that had entered the parking lot from from the front entrance, was pulling to the side of the building ther there are two or three spaces, where I was goes to make things easier on me. So I end up having to stop, out in the raod still which is in a precarious location of a four-way downtown intersection with a blinking traffic light so you never know what driving behavior may be coming my way while stuck in the road. The car pulls in side ways taking two spots and forcing me to pull into the last slot.
I get into line and the guy is there. He apologizes to me. Okay, an apology is good and I can accept it, but unfortunately this pology came with a bizarre excuse that I can't get passed.
He told me something like, "Sorry, I haven't driven much lately."
Okay. So, this guy was probably in his 60's and he does drive, so it doesn't matter how long it's been, he's been driving long enough to know not to cut a person off and park sideways into two parking spots, especially when he skipped the open spots from the front entrance where he came in, just to do it.
Excuse me, but I haven't ridden a bicycle is probably twenty years but I havent' forgotten how to do it, in fact there's one right here that belongs to a friend, so I can prove that by getting on it right now.
I haven't used a VCR in probably a little over twenty years, but I know exactly how to use it, how to hook it up to a TV, how to use VHS tapes, etc. I'm not going to take a VHS tape out of the slip case and shove it in sideways, then turn to everybody behind me and say, "Sorry, I haven't used a VCR much lately."
I probably haven't touched an LP player in longer than that, but I still know how to use it.
Hell, when I first got a car and had never driven ever, I have not them or since parked in sideway into two spots.

People who eat like cows.... Not closing their mouths when they chew....
It's the grossest thing.

When you think about it, it's kind of odd that ingestion is acceptable in public -- many TV programs are even made about it -- whereas the other end of the process is not.
^ I'd estimate 70% of the ads on German TV during the Christmas season were for medication against one or other symptom of misdigesion. Apparently that part of the process is acceptable as well. Highly illogical. Btw, the end of the digestional process is mentioned only one single time in all Trek ever: in a dialogue between Quark and Rom when the latter admitted to cheating on his brother whilst he was visiting the toilet (in the dubbed version it was called an "excretion facility" - I have no idea what the original phrasing was)

We see lots of TV ads here for things to do with bowel movements and irritable bowels.
interesting how ads change over the years, isn't it? 30 years ago ads were mostly for stuff to make you slim, and before that ads for alcohol, cigarettes and tampons dominated. LOL and I recall the first ad for nylon tights in the 60s - a life without garter belts and suspenders YAY!

Women's stockings. They used to be a big thing but not so much now. There used to be a lot of funny TV ads for them here.
Razzamataz... Lots of videos on youtube for those.
The rise of the extreme right/facists in the land of the (not so) free.
People who don't understand the country they even live in and create blame on percieved enemies.
Or how about people who suck up the mucus in their nose. How disgusting is that to listen to somebody do that? Why not either blow your nose or Hoover it in private -- nobody wants to hear you slurp it back.

Guess you didn't watch Enterprise. Trip complained about always getting the "poo" question when interviewed by kids.
High paid, bloviating lawyers with no background in environmental sciences throwing their weight around trying to tell people how to live, when in reality, they have NO idea how the environment works and how if they got their way, THOUSANDS of New Mexicans would lose their jobs, while they (she, really) sits high upon her hilltop home in Santa Fe and chuckles.
That's because it's normal, watching somebody else eat. But you don't want to watch anyone taking a shit. It's just the way it is, that's all.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to watch it either but Luis Buñuel already made a film about the taboo in case anyone was curious.That's because it's normal, watching somebody else eat. But you don't want to watch anyone taking a shit. It's just the way it is, that's all.
Le fantôme de la liberté
I feel sad about the USA..... Lurching ever more to a place I don't want to see.
I liked that episode.
Sadly, the whole world appears to slide back to 1936. I've been toying with the idea of moving. But where to? I urgently need a Tardis!
Guilty as charged - I watched only the first season. After that I moved and somehow never got around yet to installing the satellite dish.
