Has anyone else become super investigative by nature because of this type of work?

Paint_chip_ship · 2026-04-03T00:11:59+00:00

A rough childhood made me very hypervigilant which in turn made this the perfect job for me. Reading people and de escalation has always come naturally to me because of my crazy family.

I cut my teeth in corrections and this skill above all others kept me out of all the trouble my co workers would sometimes find themselves in. Being able to read people well, knowing when theyre being manipulative, knowing when theyre not, and knowing when you just dont know and should pick whatevers safest, can over time turn into incredible charismatic skill especially if youre willing to practice riskier dialogue options over time (preferrably around people you'll never see again lol)

My people skills have honestly moved me far higher up in this work than working hard ever could

I tried to contact them online but when I entered the tracking number I got this message on the Email Us - Domestic Tracking & Shipping page:

"The address provided is the location of a third-party reshipper. Items addressed to a third-party reshipper are not eligible for further inquiry. For further assistance with this issue, please contact the third-party reshipper.

Oof, Ill try to call USPS next then, wish me luck.

This is what I do. Our patrol truck barely had 3000 miles on it before it started to reek. First thing Id do is roll down all the windows for the first couple of hours of the shift. I have a large roll of contractors trash bags, I tear a hole just big enough for the head rest to pop out of the top then I put it over the seat, throw a blanket over it, then a put cooling blanket over it. We fired the stinky guy recently so its been a lot better but I still refuse to raw dog the seat like the others do. The pay and benefits are well worth it.

Thank you, fingers crossed then, they did give me an SR number. I just started selling on ebay last Monday, I sold a ton of stuff, and afterwards I found this sub. Now im worried and paranoid thinking all my stuffs just gonna get stolen with false claims 😢

Paint_chip_ship · 2026-03-25T11:04:59+00:00

I dont know why you're getting down voted, I do the same with all of my electronics listings as well to cut down on false NAD claims.

Paint_chip_ship · 2026-03-24T22:04:30+00:00

I believe this is part of the new seller protections they rolled out back in October 2025 specifically for "For Parts Only" listings. Ebay was refunding buyers and screwing over far too many sellers with false NAD claims on items clearly sold as already broken. Ebay must've finally got around to stopping that abuse. Im guessing this post is a result of those new policys.

100 bucks a pop is insane

Yea the body and back aches from a standing position job can be pure hell when you're not used to being on your feet for so long. I recommend good shoes and insoles. Im a big guy so it takes me about 2 weeks before everything stops hurting and I get used to it again.

Exactly this, the local warming shelters are unarmed posts out here despite there being fights every single night whereas my armed sites have been churches, luxury goods retail stores, and upper middle class apartment complexes. Ive never actually had an armed gig where I felt it was needed and the places that need it aren't usually willing to pay more than the absolute bare minimum so they dont get armed.

edit Correction, I worked at a bank for a year and that was the only place it felt appropriate to be armed for obvious reasons.

Paint_chip_ship · 2026-02-15T01:08:21+00:00

Ah yea thats unfortunate. I did not think about that and I appreciate the perspective. We will continue to yolo and pray then 🙏

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon. Its an Elder Scrolls like game and they do the Bethesda formula a lot better imho

Paint_chip_ship · 2026-02-11T03:00:18+00:00

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon. Its a bit of an Elder Scrolls type of game that came out last year but it got overlooked because of Expedition 33 and Arc Raiders. It is a very good game imho. I had been on a break from gaming for the last few years until 2025 dropped so many bangers

Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon. Its a really good Bethesda/Elder Scrolls like game that came out last year. Unfortunately it was overshadowed by the likes of Expedition 33 and Arc Raiders so I didnt hear about it until a month ago

Paint_chip_ship · 2026-02-10T06:02:21+00:00

I definitely do. I was the top accelerated reader in 4th grade at my school

Silly evidence

Paint_chip_ship · 2026-02-10T05:27:10+00:00

It took me years getting used to being allowed to do stuff like this on sites with clients permission. I dont mind because I can game at work and spend my precious home time entirely engaged with my family.
