two words:
Post Office.
I swear, there is absolutely nothing more useless than the Post Office. As you all know, I just moved. I had to pick up the keys to my apartment post box directly from the local Post Office. So yesterday, I have to take them a copy of my lease, my drivers license, a kidney, wait in line and finally get put "on the list". Apparently they don't actually keep the keys there. So i'm told to come back between 5:30 and 6:00 today. Today I arrive, finally one of the katrina-rejects shows up to the counter and I tell her what i'm there for. After taking my license (again) she disappears for a good 10 minutes before showing back up to let me know that, apparently, 'you at da wrong post owffice'. Okay, I ordered them at this very window less than 24 hours ago, how is that possible? "you at da wrong post owffice". Okay, well where are my keys? "you at da wrong post owffice." Okay, bitch, where in hell is the right post office? Are my keys there?
The 'right' post office is actually way farther away from the apartment, they don't have my keys, I'll probably have to re-order them, but they don't know, all they know is "you at da wrong post owffice."
Thank you, you've been ever so helpful and courteous.
fucker.
This is not the first time someone has been screwed by the post office, nor will it be the last. I for one cannot wait for the day fed-ex takes over everything. They are 100 times more efficient, have better customer service, and better online services. Suck it worthless postal employees.
