Stupid/predictable comments and questions annoy me...
Consignee asks (as if they don't know), "what's this?"
I always want to reply with "wouldn't you be pissed if I knew?"
Or the funny old guy with nothing but tired ancient jokes. "Hey, did you hear FedEx and UPS are merging?! Yeah, they're gonna call it..."
I sometimes reply, "that's an old joke, but it's really happening as soon as this contract with the Union is up. It's too combat Amazon. Seriously, go Google it." I gives me warm fuzzies to imagine the old farts asking their grandson how to Google something.
I'm drenched from head to toe... "wow! Is it raining?"
"No ma'am, I just have horrible bladder control."

FedUp. How have you not heard that? I literally get it once every couple of months. Maybe the fact that there are a ton of retirees on my route spikes the dumb jokes... got nothing better to do than think up annoying things to tell people. LOL

- A crappy preloader which I get almost everyday since I'm on one of the new guy routes with new guy routes on either side of me and the new preloader always gets our PCs and usually quits after a few days. Misloads and packages on the wrong selves are a given.
-The resi who has a super long driveway with no turn around and always has a ton of packages.
- The resi who has FD set as their DR point on every package on the board. And they live in an apartment complex.
- The people who park in the commercial unloading zones because they're too cheap to pay for the parking meters then get mad at me for honking at them to get them to move.
-The people who sit behind me when I'm unloading in an alleyway and ask how long I'm going to be to move. That's usually a good time to take 10 and grab a coke.
- The businesses who feel entitled to get their packages first thing in the morning. Unless it's NDA, you're going to have to wait like everyone else.
-Pickups who don't have their stuff ready at pickup time.

Those people are the worst. Especially if it's one of those people who have something almost every day.

How about when driver of the year comes early and works for free reorganizing his truck and tells the sup every misload found.

This happened to me today and I hate them for it.
Business on a second story that orders 10 boxes of printer paper, no elevator or ramp or anything to get dolly upstairs. Everyone stares at me slack jawed as I lug all 10 by myself and not offer to help unless you consider comments about how hard I work helpful.
