I know it's irrational but...
There are things that irrationally upset me. I'm sure we all have these things but the one thing that can set me off really quickly... signed deliveries at my home.
Who exactly is at home during the day to sign for deliveries? What do you do when you have a job and things are sent to your home requiring YOUR signature? I once had a summons for a deposition haunt me for three weeks because some kid requested a signature in the middle of the day when I wasn't home. Everyday a new note was left for me. Everyday I crumpled it up when I got home late from work.
The worst offender though, Fed Ex. UPS will let you re-route a package to a new address. Fed Ex tho... no way Josie. So now I have just received a notice that someone is shipping me something Fed Ex and has already sent it to my home address. What is wrong with the US Postal Service? I have no idea. I am going to have to ask to have this item returned and credited because there's no way I will sit at home between 9 and 5 over the next few days to wait for it.
This makes me irrationally angry. I know it's irrational, I know it's not something that I can avoid so I know there's absolutely no sense in being mad. But there it is creeping into those stress points in my shoulder blades anyway.
I suppose people who live in doorman buildings don't have this problem. I suppose people who drive cars and can-go-pick-up-packages-at-the-furthest-point-away-on-the-earth-where-all-late-night-pickup-locations seem to be don't have this problem. I have this problem. It's going to irritate me today, tomorrow, Friday and however long they continue to stick those slips on my front window saying "We Have A Package We Are Never Going To Give You!".
Now I am going to have to find the time in my schedule to either go shopping or find a retailer of a similar item who won't try to ship things to my home via Fed Ex. That's what I get for finding the best possible present for someone online... more aggravation.
