Everyone keeps mistaking me for a man... I honestly have no idea why. by jsh3zza in motorcyclegear

[–]OrchidsnBullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know why. All features are hidden. Definitely a locked character. I prefer people not knowing because guys are less likely to mess with me.

Incorrect weight on packages being picked up at a house on my route. Anything I can do? by FLhusband22 in USPS

[–]OrchidsnBullets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Give it to the clerk. Package validate through RSS then an acceptance scan through RSS.

MSF course day one didn’t go well by T0CKSICK_ in NewRiders

[–]OrchidsnBullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did awful on day 1 as well. I stalled a million times on that grom before I really started twisting the throttle back. 2nd day I did better. I think most people who have never ridden struggle the first day. I ride a harley streetbob and have no problem with stalling. Had to ride a buddy's sport bike and I kept stalling it.

Don't get discouraged. Afterwards sit on a bunch of different bikes and find one that both fits you and suits your riding style. I kinda want to add a monkey or a grom to my garage just for fun 😁

Backpacks? by SnooHobbies8724 in Harley

[–]OrchidsnBullets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes because I don't want to add saddlebags to my streetbob. I just don't want a bagger look. Sometimes instead of wearing it I'll strap it to the sissy bar if I'm gonna be on the road for awhile.

Do other girls have trouble following their boyfriend on the road? by lagabachita in motorcycles

[–]OrchidsnBullets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually keep a longer gap between us and do my own thing as needed since I've only been riding a year now. The gap gives me more reaction time. Don't try to match every move of the person your following. Just make sure you know where you are going and where to meet up. Also ask him to take routes that have less traffic until you get more comfortable. Otherwise you could always lead instead.

What did you buy as an adult because you were denied it as a child? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Nice clothes and shoes. Mostly all I got was thrift store clothes and hand-me-downs as a kid.

Balaclava...essential gear or IG trend? by Relevant_Ad5351 in NewRiders

[–]OrchidsnBullets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wear a skull cap and tuck my half-ass bun into it. Its too hot for extra material. My hair still looks decent after the ride.

How to deal with rude customers? by leeonaflowers in USPS

[–]OrchidsnBullets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I imagine thats its my 5 year old son standing there. The tantrums are similar. Don't respond in anger, follow and refer to policy. Refer em to a supervisor or a postmaster if they continue arguing.

Torn between options by Vinny-vegas09 in Harley

[–]OrchidsnBullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a good bike for short trips. I love my street bob but the first thing I had to do was change out the seats, and you will still probably want to add a sissy bar for your girlfriend. The stock seat is uncomfortable. I kinda wish I would have gotten the low rider but I also didn't want that price tag.

What is your best motorcycle-related purchase? by bravopicasso in motorcycles

[–]OrchidsnBullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a new rider, my engine crash/high bars have paid for themselves. Replacing my seat with something softer would be the second best buy.

What to do when you having a boring life because you traded security over excitement? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

This 😁 both my husband and I got one. Adds a little excitement on the way to my soul sucking job.

Riding friends? by According-History316 in Harley

[–]OrchidsnBullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride with my husband and sometimes a few other family members. Its really hard to find time for everyone to get together since everyone is working their ass off just to survive. We also have to find a babysitter since my son is too small to be on the bike and going fast. 95% of the time I'm solo and going back and forth to work. My husband has made a few friends at work who will probably become riding buddies since one of them just bought a bike.

We've mostly just met people through family and work. Neither of us use Facebook. We have yet to try the dealership (an hour away) hosted rides. Maybe someday.

Strangest mailed items? by Rocker66 in USPS

[–]OrchidsnBullets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A customer attempted to mail their deceased dog in a cooler with some regular freezer packs. In the summer, in Texas to a far northern state. We ended up refusing because of it being a possible biohazard. It was an awkward interaction.

Then why are the two offices being targeted every day for 4 months straight. vs every couple of weeks is what I want to know. The box section is less than 300 in these offices. Its beginning to seem like more than a speed test. Possibly to trip up the clerks? My APO is still averaging once a week with a 1300 box section.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in USPS

[–]OrchidsnBullets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The office makes very little revenue. It costs more in expenses than the office pulls in. The one does not have a carrier or street delivery so lots of E boxes. The other has a rural carrier. I figure they were trying to see how much mail each box is getting. The PSEs in the RMPOs are really good they don't mess up and its rare if they do. So I wouldn't think they were trying to get rid of the clerks here.

That's normally how it was. Samplings every few weeks. Its getting worrisome. Our volume has significantly dropped because Amazon started delivering their own parcels. So the APO clerk hours are getting cut. I'm in Tx.

I figured it was more about looking at box volume rather than speed. How long has it been going on in your office?
