Because we’ve been working in the basement, our garage is a bit of a mess at the moment and I’ve had to park my car outside. At 5:30 in the morning I was walking Jeff down to his car before he left for work when I remembered I wanted to give him something I’d left in my car. I ducked outside and opened the door, unaware that he had followed me.
“Um, did you not lock your car?” he asked me
“No. I mean, I don’t leave anything important in it so it’s not like there is anything in my car that someone could steal.” I replied.
Jeff looked at me for a minute and then said “Okay. But you do realize that just makes it easier for someone to steal the entire car, right?”
So, if there are any would-be thieves reading this I would just like you to know that my highly desirable 1998 Chevy Cavalier is totally locked. Also, I strategically placed a copy of Twilight on the front seat so if you do steal my car, your thug friends are totally going to mock you for reading girlie books.
Anyhow, I am not the only one lacking in common sense.
I was expecting a package from UPS and when it never showed I emailed the sender and asked for the tracking number.
This is what I saw in the tracking information:
I was like YES! THIS! THIS IS A GREAT PLAN!
You don’t have my street address so the best way to get that information would DEFINITELY be to mail a post card to the street address that you don’t know asking me what my street address is. This makes total sense. There is most certainly not a better way to get this information.
Once I finally got an employee on the phone, I told him that I needed to give him my correct street address so that they could put my package back out for delivery.
“Oh, did you get our postcard?” he asked me
No. No, I most definitely did not.

Oh dear, that is pretty dumb, UPS.
And good thinking with the Twilight book. Smart.
Just thought I’d tell you I linked to today’s blog post over on my little blog. I don’t have a lot of readers but I know my friends will love this one! Wanted you to know before you popped up on a Google alert or something! Thanks for the chuckle!

This is friggin’ hilarious! I’m going to use this one for about a week! I am at my computer and actually laughed out loud in the office! I really needed that this morning! Thanks!!!
Oh my gosh hilarious.
I actually snorted coffee out my nose when I read the UPS note! You just can’t fix stupid!!!
That’s pretty hysterical.
Thanks for sharing…I needed a good chuckle.
I really wish this were a joke, but
sadly, I know it’s not. I’d really like to know where they THINK they mailed that postcard.
lol i’ve seen that note before when tracking a package and reading this post definitely brought me back to that …really funny
You actually got a human at UPS? I’ve never been able to contact anyone when I receive someone else’s package. It was easier to deliver it myself. It is good to lock your car, even from someone just wanting to be mischievous or destructive. We get spoiled having a garage, don’t we?
Wait. What? Seriously? Who in the sam hill thought up THAT brilliant plan? Must have been someone who previously worked in the innovation department at the USPS. Hope you get your package. Sometime soon. Maybe even this month?
UPS is brilliant I tell ya. BRILLIANT. That would be why I love FedEx so much more. Might still not get here right when expected, but I value common sense that much.
