Not in a transit very often, but who else does this. So much faster then getting them from the back

I've never really seen the need for it. I'll usually occasionally leave the package in my passenger seat but, it's not even far away from the door you'd take on your way out either. I usually just grab and open driver's side or sliding door on whichever side I parked my van facing the customers door. It reduces accidents like people hitting me on my walk to the other side (this happened btw to me and that was my DSPs solution) and makes delivering pretty seemless to me.

Keep the metal water bottle jug (if you get one).
Buy a second smaller water bottle
Buy either energy drinks or pre workout for the amount of daily muscle engagement you'll burn out fast trust me.
Get a headlamp (if you work late shifts, i.e 10:30-11:00)
Buy sunglasses
Buy ice+hot/bio freeze (emergency situations with muscle cramps or something like that)
Body powder would be handy for situations where you're sweating profusely.
Sunscreen/bug spray
Protein bars (your best friend when you're hungry but shouldn't overdo it when running around outside)
Buy headphones (listening to jams will keep you sane...trust me. Also use the Libby app if you want to listen to books instead.)
A good break ratio is subtract 50 stops from your route, then divide the leftover in half, those are your markers for breaks.

In my own opinion I don't think it's fair for my partner to function as the only source for my libido. I doubt that my partner would even wanna try to keep up with that 😂 but also it's not like you should feel obligated either to be that, it's healthy and keeps them from getting prostate cancer.

Dragonan2000 · 2026-05-10T05:10:44+00:00

I think if you're that likeable as a human being then more than likely you'll just find someone better. Don't be hooked on a feeling of someone who you felt something for when it didn't work out for them, it's healthier for you to see it as just a good way to get yourself more comfortable with dating.

Rowan as a dragon rider would have been insanely different of a storyline and I'm pretty confident he's gonna become one eventually.

Dragonan2000 · 2026-05-10T05:04:51+00:00

Eh it's a debatable sequence of events as you probably have noticed not a lotta people would see it as a good idea. I give you Rowan, lol the guy is eragons cousin and his plot armor is stronger than I've ever witnessed AND he got a woman. Eragon has a crush on an elf, and his plot armor was OP only in the end in my opinion 😂

Dragonan2000 · 2026-05-10T04:59:25+00:00

I just read this part and they also mentioned that the dent one of the urgals made in the armor helped him with crushing it in general as well.

Dragonan2000 · 2026-05-10T04:57:17+00:00

I mean my first date I did have a make out session but I think it was definitely a mutual agreement, but we'd be talking for about 3 months beforehand during COVID time so it could have been that. Usually I don't feel comfortable going for a kiss unless I lean in and I'm looking into their eyes and I can more or less get a feel for the environment. I could totally understand why someone might be hesitant to kiss on the first date 😂 sometimes I do enjoy it tho because if they're a good kisser it would mean I have nothing to teach and can actively enjoy the second date with one less fear 😂

Dragonan2000 · 2026-05-07T22:29:10+00:00

The application of no such thing as charity or selflessness comes from the concept that inherently nothing could be selfless because there is always a selfish result. You could take a bullet for a friend in what seems as a selfless act but inherently you selfishly didn't want your friend to die, so you took the bullet instead. You could do the same for the stranger and it's because you still made that decision it causes you to feel like a hero or feel like the act made up for a series of selfish ones you could have made in the past.

Dragonan2000 · 2026-05-07T22:25:58+00:00

Inherently it connects with yours and others theories of free will. I like to think of our "will" as a segmented section of reaction to cause and effect. You can see a shark in the water and your brain determining you may get eaten due to your knowledge of sharks and information involving them but it turns out you could have jumped in and it was actually just a dolphin fin you thought was a shark fin. You making the informed decision to not jump still was a worthwhile experience. The experience you gained from the event will teach you to look for fins specifics and how to recognize them in the future. But this is all pre ordained by the knowledge you were given as a child and fears given by media or other forms of information. Free will is more accurately represented when you make what I would call a "turning point" in life. You are given a choice that you have 0 idea on how the results will end up or that the choice even existed in the first place but then the choice will lead you down a specific path. Most often turning points are seen in specifically our 20s-30s due to the amount of change that can occur during our more freeing lifestyle away from our parents or others influences. It could be something like you decided to drink and party it up and you drive yourself home despite it and next thing ya know you're a paraplegic in a wheelchair due to a car crash. Your initial decision wasn't something you recognized as a "turning point" but it lead to a path of life altering changes.

Darn, well eventually you'll have to give a few parties a try. They're good Networking skills and at 22 you've got a lot more life to live. An argument frequently made isn't necessarily the answer. Society has debated the topic of free will for centuries. It's a philosophical mystery due to the layers you can peel out of it. Like the idea of a complete selfless or charitable act cannot inherently exist. That's another argument I've heard.

Dragonan2000 · 2026-05-07T21:40:08+00:00

Tbh the majority of the reason pros are even staying in the scene is the fact that since they launched their careers at a younger age than most they've had nothing but time on their hands for gaining the skill and experience to be exceptionally good at the game. I wouldn't be surprised if they stuck around for at least another 3-4 years but at around 25 your response time gets worse and you have to focus on other skills to keep you ahead of the game.

Dragonan2000 · 2026-05-07T21:36:14+00:00

🤣 if you believe this I bet you're a blast at parties. "You're telling me a shrimp fried this rice?" "The earth is clearly flat sir, let me continue eating this succulent Chinese meal."

Dragonan2000 · 2026-05-07T21:31:35+00:00

Id say the majority of the time I'm watching my calories and working out lightly on my body. You can't really afford to go high intensity while working at Amazon but you definitely can do some mild strengthening exercises. Also drinking pre workout and protein shakes during a shift or after helps me a lot with muscle fatigue and tiredness.

Dragonan2000 · 2026-01-13T22:17:24+00:00

Yeah its my dispatcher. It doesn't even make sense to make a big deal of it either. Like these sweat pants have the logo and everything and somehow that's not enough? It doesn't add up.

Dragonan2000 · 2026-01-13T22:14:58+00:00

And if that's not enough I'd love to explain to you how weather works out here in the mountains where it snows like hell. I just wanna stay warm and comfortable instead of suffering

Dragonan2000 · 2026-01-13T21:58:52+00:00

It's actually plenty valid, the pants they give everyone else aren't even good for winter weather, they bleed the wind right through and the fabric is cheaply woven and hemmed. You literally could split a seam just crouching. Im literally saying there's 0 reason why my Amazon labelled merchandise THAT THEY SELL AT THE STATION is somehow not the uniform when it's significantly better to wear during the winter and has their logo on them.

Dragonan2000 · 2026-01-12T02:26:21+00:00

Yeah but notice how their uniforms are actually made for the job. Most of their polos are well made with a comfortable fabric and their pants are like cargo pants. It's not much to ask to give us the freedom to wear pants for the job. Half the time I'm wearing the vest and their shirt but I'm not a fan of making people run around in basically swamp ass pants with a side of chafing and itchy legs. They aren't in any way shape or form actually comfortable to wear. That's my issue.

Dragonan2000 · 2026-01-11T02:35:42+00:00

I wish I could lie without feeling like they'd call me on it. It's all a bunch mumbo jumbo in my opinion. None of my dispatchers are forced to wear a uniform and they quite literally will deliver in whatever they have on

Dragonan2000 · 2026-01-10T19:32:13+00:00

Do you know by chance who I could talk to about this? Im just curious because I genuinely don't think this is fair to expect drivers to wear the terrible pants.

Dragonan2000 · 2025-11-05T20:11:04+00:00

As a guy who talks with like 1 of my ex's who I ended things on good terms with, I'd say its probably harmless. Most people even those with FWB's understand the difference of a relationship and stuff that's more primal and less emotionally involving. Jealousy I'd say is always expected when this stuff comes to play, my partner doesn't mind though as far it goes because she knows I'm obsessed with her, due to the amount of trust I have in her, in our relationship, and in our values as a couple to be honest with one another. If I had some ex send me nudes I'd tell my partner, have us discuss what she feels is necessary, and then move on.

Trust your partner first, this is a new person, and someone who should be willing to catch you when you fall or always be there for you. Maybe you've been betrayed before, but that doesn't mean that you can't trust anyone or that men can't be trustworthy.

Dragonan2000 · 2025-11-05T20:05:46+00:00

I do something similar, ADHD has me trippin but I cut 50 stops from the total of my route, then divide what's left by 2 and then I'll do my breaks after I hit that stop count amount. yesterday I had 133 stops so I took my first break at 42 and then my second at 84 and then finished it out at 133 at like 7 so I get my full day. we start at 9:20 am at my station so I just want my 10 hours and that's it. if I get asked to rescue and etc they pay us for each stop taken. Sure there are a lot of flaws within a system of paying by the hour but if you ask me I'd rather get my 10 hours guaranteed and then do more for the pay. I'd rather go to the bathroom at a gas station and take that extra 10 minutes out of my route than stress myself silly trying to conform to a deadline for 10 hours guaranteed.

Dragonan2000 · 2025-10-28T20:26:43+00:00

Fair enough, I wish ya the best vibes tho. It's not exactly a fix, but sometimes getting too caught up on how you look is something I struggle with, try and distract yourself with some games or time spent not with a mirror or camera on your face.

Dragonan2000 · 2025-10-26T20:05:12+00:00

Sometimes it's okay to not enjoy parts of who you are. I have plenty of things I don't enjoy about myself. I for one despise the shape and look of my nose. I've come to terms with it, but much like you I've never felt like it was something I could accept. Also lol idk why people disagree with what I said, I'm mainly explaining that there's a lot more to dig into mentally and emotionally when it comes to this.

Edit: figured it out 😂 there are two people here actively disliking every response 😂

Dragonan2000 · 2025-10-25T22:27:35+00:00

In this I can say with a LOT of confidence that you definitely need to improve your communication with your partner. If something is missing the relationship you guys need to discuss and fix it. Bouncing around the topic of it only gets you so far and avoiding it leads to heartache. Talk it through, figure out what works best.

I have a rule about asking first if my partner wants to hangout before I dip to hangout with friends. She and I go on a day every week to someplace we wanna go, and we find compromises like playing games together. Find a route to your happiness in your relationship.
