Most of the guys in my center used to donate the turkeys, and then the turkey coupons, to a local charity.
What are some of your biggest pet peeves working at Brown?

If you back before driving 100+ feet it shows on telematics. Completely throws "when in doubt, get out" out the window and leads to more unsafe behavior. Because you try to not get on it, so do more risky things.

Returning to your PC to find a pigeon on your seat and you literally scare the crap out of it....
Drivers leaving their damn hand trucks in the middle of the trucks and also caging it around their pickups. If I ever get hurt, I'll make it my priority to get the idiot fired.
Today, its snowing,drive slow ,use caution,make good choices.
Tomorrow. what the Hell,took you so long yesterday?

Yum...fried turkey! Honestly...I never ate the UPS turkeys...I always gave them away. But they were ours...it wouldn't kill them to give us a little something extra around the holidays. Remember when they used to get us hot food and six foot hoagies around Xmas time? Last year...we got Burger King...stone cold whoppers and fries at 6am.

I remember when "SERVICE" was our last name. *sigh*. No more.
Count your blessing and keep your eye on the prize, no matter how hard it gets. This should put things in perspective for all of you. It does for me. I had a lifelong friend whom was laid off from his job at Microsoft yesterday. He was there almost as long as I was with UPS. He was a very bright guy and was probably one of the best they had. While I am now retired, he has to start all over again. He is my age and this will be difficult, but as I said he is the type of guy who will come out on top. I for one am glad I had protections and a pension most people in corporate America do not have anymore. Maybe some of you should feel lucky as well.

I will also. If a person is a Richard Cranium though, I do not go out of my way to help them. Kindness will be responded to kindly. Be a

Turning around in a cul du sac half a block from a stop prior to delivery and parking on the wrong side of the street delivering to the left to avoid a "back first exception". Even though had I made the delivery on the right side of the street then turned around in the cul du sac my first move would have been a forward move and the short back I have to make in the cul du sac would have totally been in new area (conditions fresh).
Tees me off to cross the street in order to make a number on report that does not improve safety. I totally get and agree with avoiding back first events but the way we measure them is absurd.

It's like kindergarten...this one's mad at that one....this one's talking crap about some other guy. People think women gossip...but some guys gossip at work like old washer women! You can't take a dump without everyone knowing size, color and frequency...lol

When they bring back 400+ pieces in pickups...which part of your rectum did you expect them to put the handcart?

I've had bosses (one in particular) ask why I've taken so long at customers and told them they had a question about shipping or such. Boss tells me, "tell them to call the 1-800 number, you don't have time for that." I replied, "Sorry but I will not do that. I was hired by United Parcel SERVICE, not United Parcel Stockholders. And If I don't service the customers needs, the next guy in the door will (probably Fedex). Every day you tell us to grow the business and want us to push sales leads but when I take an extra minute or two to help a customer, now I don't have time. Make up your mind." I was never bothered about it again.
