As a person who’s done delivery work over the years, nothing ticks me off more than an arrogant and entitled customer. Well, maybe an oblivious one is worse. Imagine bringing orders to an an address, turning in to find out it’s an apartment complex, and the customer didn’t list an apartment number in the order. That, or there’s a gate with a code and you don’t have the code. Customer isn’t answering their phone and your efficient afternoon is busted! Is it obvious apartment deliveries tick me off? Well, this new FedEx commercial might even top that. They call it “Tall Tales of True Deliveries.” This one features a guy named Joe. Take a look.
So this jackass leaves a note in all caps commanding the driver to stop doing his job so he can rush the rings out to a beach wedding. Entitled much? If I were this driver, I would absolutely NOT be bringing the rings to the beach wedding.
Note: Bring rings to beach wedding.
Me peeling out of the driveway:
I guess it’s one thing to go over and above your responsibilities as a delivery driver. The whole “go the extra mile” thing could apply here but whoever wrote the note did it in the complete wrong way. How about form it as a question? A big favor? Don’t all caps me, bro. Pay no mind to the fact that the FedEx guy has a full day of deliveries, but sure ask him to set his job aside so you won’t be inconvenienced. Plus, you have groomsmen and bridesmaids for a reason. Send them over to the house for the rings, you dimwit.
OK, rant over.
How do you feel about the FedEx commercial? Leave a comment below but please don’t do it in all caps!
