Your most embarrasing or funny moment while on the job.

I was delivering a Flowers.com pkg to a lady one Valentines Day when she tried to embarass me in front of a group by saying her husband told her that her flowers were suppose to come with a singing telegram. I just looked back at my board pushed a couple of buttons and said no ma'am my records show he paid for a stripper as I started unbuttoning my shirt. My best comeback of all time.

That my friend is freaking awesome!

on the way back to the car, the customer called out and asked me to toss her the newspaper. i launched it toward the front door before turning around and noticing that she had followed me half the way. i watched it smack her up side the head.
i don't deliver the paper any more.

Did she laugh at least?

I made a delivery to a water treatment plant on my route. Guy in receiving is named Dick and his assistant is Bev. He wasn't there yesterday so I said, hey Bev, what's up, no Dick today?

yes that was lulz

well for me, theres this jewlery store in the mall, that i deliver some high value pkgs to. The guys there are pretty smug, because they apparently think they are all that because what they do and what they wear. Well one day, im passing buy, and one of those guys tells me, "hey man we were supposed to get our box of porn movies!" and i told him, "hmm, sorry it seems that box broke open at the warehouse, and is being examed for any damage, it will take sometime, as we inspect each item and scene carefully *smug face*" the dude immeadiatley tries to burn me, "but it was gay porn" followed by 2 seconds of epic silence, then my comeback, "ah i heard of that box for you 2 guys, DHL actually had that order =P"

i waa walking through one department, when i got to the walk way and went to turn the corner, (I guess my arms were swinging as they do when one walks) and all of a sudden there was one of the sups from another department walking in the hallway i was turning on to. and all of a sudden, my hand had grabbed her boob. not sure how it happened, it was to fast. i just know i was mordified. i would not look her in the eyes for a long time. she tought it was funny. and sluffed it off. i still feel embarrased all these years later.

The guys with power company was working at the end of the drive of the farm house I was delivering to, got a good laugh. The reason is when I went to put the package on the porch, the dog greeted me with all his teeth and backed me up all the way to the package car .....as he is chewing on the 2 packages between me and him. I yelled at the dog soon as I could step up into the car and yell..YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! Then at that point I knew the owners were not home so I threw them on the porch. I pulled out of the drive pissed and those guys must have been on break they were rolling laughing.

Thanks Downsized. you reminded me of something that happened when I was on preload.

We were wrapping up one morning and as I was walking by the guy next to me I went to slap (gently) him on the side of the leg saying bye and have a good day. Only I missed because he had turned ever so slightly. I got him right in the groin area. He didn't say anything and I truly hyoped that I hadn't done what I thought I had done. Some time later (weeks or months) we were having lunch one day and he brought it up. I'm sure I turned 3 shades of red. We had a great laugh about it.

have you ever tried to unlock the truck with your car remote?

Slipped on my butt in a movie theater lobby. Told the manager it was ok to laugh because I was going to.

That is taking "package handling" to another level.

while working the preload several years ago left the house at 2:00 am drove halfway to facility and realized there were very few cars on the road. Yes it was Saturday. Turned around went home and my wife said where did you go? I thought it was Friday and had showered, shaved and was rushing to work.

Haven't gone that far, though, that was quite funny. Welcome to The Brown Cafe. That is one hackuva first post.

It was your "aim" that nearly brought him to his knees.

 

[33in2togo]

Thanks for the welcome. I've been reading posts for about three weeks. Just as concerned as most about direction company is heading. I strongly believe we are primed for the long haul. Short term all bets are off with cost cutting due to poor economy. Number one priority is family security.

LOL I didn't hit that hard.
