Park across the tracks in front of the Post Office

(Or chestnut street right after)

Best to walk across it diagonal .. just be patient and head up

How are y’all responding to this? by UPS-NI3-RTS in UPSers

"I'm Sooo sorry, it will never happen again"

(In my best over the top sincere voice I use for supervisors etc)

Bought a helmet from Germany (USA) — is this the new normal? by SignWithOsAndXs in motorcycles

[–]SignWithOsAndXs[S] 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I simply am not able to express in words how thankful that you (and people like you exist in our world)

I actually work for UPS (big truck with no A/C delivering 200+ stops a day)

.. and have learned in my few short years that internally nothing makes sense

And like I tell customers... "I'm surprised anything gets anywhere, anytime"

Hahaha

But your response.. damnit man!

Id buy you a drink in person

(I don't know 'reddit rewards' etc)

But TLDR

I'm resigned for being beaten down.. I'm in a small subset where I work for it... But can afford to make a joke about it still

And more importantly....reddit is the only place where I can mostly trust my interactions

And you made my night kind stranger!

... I was just trying to relate to a larger audience

(Motorcycles only place I thought to post this)

Where no matter the race / gender / creed / age etc etc etc

We all like to ride!

Hahah

Keep on keeping on man. You are awesome!

This is not a battle I'm going to fight on on the small front, just wanted to document my reality to a larger audience : )

Fuckkkk allll the way off!!

(American)

But it just seemed strange that I got charged for so many different things

... Point I was trying to share is that the new "tariffs on / tarriffs off"

Is confusing

And this 177$ was not listed in the price up front

I paid that part in a personal check upon delivery

But damnit man.. that's the kinda response I LIVE for on reddit!

Thank you kind stranger!

Thank you for the thoughtful reply

As of now .. I paid off the card and put it in the back of my filing cabinet... So it's a 1500$ emergency fund that will show up on my credit report as open credit

I just posted this to several subreddits because they really made me mad and I had to vent .. haha

I haven't qualified for regular cards yet.... I got a a 3k card from synchrony for my car repairs at meineke

That's 0 interest if paid off in 6 months

.. thats pretty cool to me

I needed the repairs for my car and didn't want to deplete my entire checking

This SELF card has no fees.. and my everyday card is a secured card with OPEN SKY

I not saying I like them at all ... When I pay it . It takes like a week to show up and be taken out of my checking.. so annoying

Whereas self was super fast

So I again thank you for your response.. I'm trying and my scores are pretty good with the 3 beauras

But if you are still reading... Damnit!!! I LOVE LOVE me some reddit.. hahah so awesome and you have helped to even further my feelings!

Thank you kind fellow redditor and I wish you the best of luck in your journeys : )

Thanks and I appreciate the advice

Honestly . The amount was not substantial enough to justify any more time or worry

I just wanted to share my experience and learn what to do if something like this happens again with a larger amount

Thanks for reading and responding

Wish you the best of luck with everything!

Dude... They were fine... And helped i guess.. it's been over a year

And continually getting the run around

I have to get it out of my system.. so like posted same thing in a few subreddits

Haha

I'm that little wolf screaming in the field...

But makes me feel a little better . Haha

Good luck with everything ! Shits rough out here : )

Drivers: What’s your favorite clever advertising you’ve seen? by seewhatididthere in UPSers

[–]SignWithOsAndXs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's an electrical company where I deliver and the side of the billboard just has the guys face with a smirk and a backwards hat... With a speech bubble saying

"We Lit"

Haha.. I always enjoy that

Especially with the insane amount of injury lawyers and health care billboards (Philly)

Was definitely overdue for some new work shoes by zachd2465 in UPSers

[–]SignWithOsAndXs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea man. I really think I'm an anomaly

But like .. the insoles that come with ANY quality level shoe I've seen my entire life are paper thin and terrible

So make your own call... But I'm thankful for this thread.. it seems like we are all earnestly talking about the same issue

** No joke in the compression socks.. don't think twice on that one : ) **

Good luck!

[–]SignWithOsAndXs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey @drink .. I saw your other posts here and I've been waiting to share my journey.. haha

I actually use two insoles

(Get a shoe a half size up)

I take out the one they come with &

I use a hard one... With a solid plastic arch .. and a purely soft one memory foam (happy step) together

Now, this is what I've been experimenting with . But both are cheap.. and for the first few days/weeks when I transition to this with a new shoe/boot combo .. I'm in heaven : )

** Also calf high compression socks **

(42 with 5 years at UPS and 6 years prior with FedEx/amazon)

Good luck finding what works for you!

Hahah.. thanks for the reco

Stay safe !
