I delivered a package one time, set the diad on the hood to tie my shoe. Didn't notice that the diad was missing until I slowed down at the next stoplight. You know how high those thing can bounce at 50+ MPH?
Dennis, another driver picked up a high end automotive customer, about 30 boxes. Got back to the building and the customer had called asking when the driver was coming by. It seems that he had picked up the trash and left the outbound packages at the customers.
We had another driver that was inside a womans home when she got there. Allegedly riding her exercise bike? Thats what she said. He ended up on a 4 week suspension, not to mention the laughing stock of the center.
But I guess the dumbest was when I was new in delivery, not understanding sensitive things. Made a delivery to a home (back when all home deliveries needed a signature) and asked to have either mr or mrs smith to sign for the package. When he said, I'm mr smith, I stupidly asked well if you are he, then who was the guy here the other day who claimed to be mr smith?
Mrs smith hated me from that day on.
