Quiver0f10 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 and DH and I both answered it at the same time. The guy hands me the box, I shut the door and RUN yelling for my 19 yo to go look out the window! She runs and is like wha???? Dh was :glare: at me. Needless to say I will be finding reasons to order more things needing UPS delivery :lol: Edited to add for clarity: This guy was @ 22-25 and my DD is 19 and single. I wasn't looking at him myself, of course. :Angel_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrtle Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I first heard this poem on NPR: Why I Have A Crush On You, UPS Man you bring me all the things I order are never in a bad mood always have a jaunty wave as you drive away look good in your brown shorts we have an ideal uncomplicated relationship you're like a cute boyfriend with great legs who always brings the perfect present (why, it's just what I've always wanted!) and then is considerate enough to go away oh, UPS Man, let's hop in your clean brown truck and elope ! ditch your job, I'll ditch mine let's hit the road for Brownsville and tempt each other with all the luscious brown foods — roast beef, dark chocolate,brownies, Guinness, homemade pumpernickel, molasses cookies I'll make you my mama's bourbon pecan pie we'll give all the packages to kind looking strangers live in a cozy wood cabin with a brown dog or two and a black and brown tabby I'm serious, UPS Man. Let's do it.Where do I sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have never seen a bad looking UPS driver. I used to work as a receptionist and all the girls made an excuse to come up front whenever the UPS came by in the afternoon. It was quite hilarious.

Ashleen Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 When we are out during the day, we'll pass a UPS truck and I'll look to see if it's "my" UPS man. If it is, I'll wave. It's amazing how attached we can get to the guys who bring us all those nice packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraceinMD Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 It's amazing how often the UPS man comes up on these Boards. http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41482 See, he was the first (ok, second) thing I thought of, too.

Amy in Orlando Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Wouldn't that be awesome to have the UPS guy as your sil? What did your daughter think? (I confess to being one of the board book-flashers.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We meet on Tuesdays, but only outdoors in open places...with no doors. There's a club????? Can I join? I didn't flash the UPS man (he's an elder at my church, fcol) but I did manage to flash some roadworkers once. Back when EX and I were first married, we were going somewhere on some rural Missouri road and he dared me to take my shirt off, since no one was around. Well the second I lifted my shirt, we rounded a curve and lo and behold, there were some road workers, right on the side of the road. They saw it all. :blushing: Does that count for initiation into the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinmom Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 My UPS guy is my next door neighbor. Boy, would I get in trouble if I tried what you did! ;) He was working in my yard (on his broken fence) today sans shirt...good thing I'm not interested. He is cute, though.

cin Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 *I* wonder how many are accidental! ;) This was my friend. She had problems with her booKs while nursing and was 'airing out' when the doorbell rang I dont' knwo if she was expecting a specific person or just forgot. She shut the door, saw herself in the mirror, and screamed. You can rest assured that it was NOT me, as my girls were adopted at 12 mos old. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty ethel rackham Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Mine is a woman. She makes me look like a movie star. She might be a perfectly nice person, However, she is careless with my packages. I usually try to meet her at the door before she drops my packages and runs. Had many books damaged that way.

Amber in SJ Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 When dd#3 was a baby, I was nursing her on the couch and she had one of those vomiting episodes where she hoses you but misses herself. The only clean shirts were in a laundry basket just inside the front door. I stripped off the soggy mess and was just reaching for the laundry basket when the UPS guy, who knew about our broken doorbell, gave a firm knock that caused our rarely latched front door to swing open. He stood there frozen, box in hand and I stood there topless, with baby barf dripping from the ends of my hair. His eyes slammed shut and I snatched up a shirt to hold in front of me. He held out the box with averted eyes and I grabbed it. I don't think he required a signature! The second most horrifying story for UPS guy delivery was when my 18 month old got a small cut on her scalp that bled so much that the both of us were covered in blood when the doorbell rang. I would have ignored it because I was dealing with the screaming & the gore, but one of my other helpful children opened the door wide and started yelling "MOM!MOM!MOM!" at the top of her lungs. We looked like extras from a horror movie. I don't think he required a signature for that one either. I feel sorry for our UPS guy.

I had on a Motherwear top, so to me I was covered; I had just forgotten to pop the booK back inside the flap. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soph the vet Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 When I was working at the U of Georgia Vet Hospital we had a beef cow with a difficult calving. The calf was in "hiplock" (calf's pelvis wedged in the cow's pelvis). Four or five people had been working on getting this calf out for quite a bit of time when the UPS guy arrives with packages for the hospital. Usually those UPS guys don't have a lot of time but he must've been ahead of schedule as he stayed around for a little while watching the attempted calf extraction. After a couple of minutes he said something like "why don't you flip the calf 180 degrees?" The vet who was in charge of the whole deal responded with "sure, why not" and did it. The calf slipped easily out onto the straw.... All I can say is UPS really DELIVERS!:lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
