Today, I was waiting for a delivery between 9am-8pm. At 7:30 pm, I finally decided to have a 3 minute (desperately needed) shower. During which time the delivery man came. I ran down the street in a towel that barely covered me. He was driving away looking at me in the mirror laughing. FML

Yeah, fair enough, OR 1). If I didn't run after the parcel it would have been sent back to the depot (in Bristol!) And would have gone back to America after 1day there! I would have had to pay extortionate posting for it to come back again! 2). Was being picked up at 8 - so yes I absolutely did have to have a shower! 3). If you'd been waiting all day getting restless would you not panic, given that you wouldn't expect out of a 13 hour slot - the parcel comes during the three minute shower you need?! And yes, it is my own stupidity - that's why it's funny, that I clearly have absolutely no common sense...hence the FML! To be honest I'd join FML too if all I had time to do with my day was leave criticisms on other people's jokes. :)

that really sucks, but couldn't you have waited those last 30 minutes too?

Don't they usually leave it in front of your door? Even if you need to sign for it, they'll usually leave one of those notes saying you need to go pick it up, or that they'll be back the next day to deliver it again.

I'm impressed by the short shower time. Leisurely, I take ten minutes. I could cut it by a few, sure. But three?

I think that the follow up we were actually hoping for is, "yes or no, did you end up getting your parcel?"

I have literally waiting all day for a package, given up to shower, and then got out to find that the delivery guy came and left a note while I was showering. They have a sense of when will be the most inconvenient time to show up.

At least the delivery guy came, I've waited in for 8 or 9 hours for deliveries and workmen in the past and more often than not they just don't turn up at all :/

And calling the company you ordered the furniture/tv/washing machine, etc. from and complaining about their deliveryman's behavior is not an option because???

Bullshit, he would've turned around if he saw you. -_-
