2bonthewater 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2011 Here is how it went down.........I asked for a 5 dollar stamp.......guy goes over to other counter to get stamp.......comes back and states--how do you know it'll be enough?? I go excuse me......he says it again.....I said enough for what, I'm not understanding?? He goes.........WTF and throws his hands up in the air...........I said, dude, what's your problem.....he said I don't need this shit.........what is your deal........he's like, how do you know it's enough postage........I go, uhhh, well I've done this many times before.......plus I was a postal clerk in the military........he says whatever man-staring at me like he wants to kill me.......and throws the package me.........I throw it back--onto the scale and said do your g-damned job.......he keeps staring.........and I keep saying........what's your problem..........are you that disgruntled..........he's like, I was just trying to save you money man.......I said no......you were trying to make me look stupid.........if you wanted to save me money, you wouldn't have said IS THAT ENOUGH.........he kept staring like a crazy rabid dog at me........it was funny....I never raised my voice and I think that made him even angrier........I'm just glad they made it there and didn't get tossed into the trash......... the postal clerk was seriously having a bad day and I guess I looked like a good dude to take it out on.................. then, to top it off.........an older lady starts giving US crap because her granddaughter is missing and could we please stop..........I was cool with that........but then, the guy in front of her starts yelling at her.....screaming at her--how she needs to shutup because he is in a hurry..........I told the guy to leave the lady alone.......... I waited outside for granny......I apologized to her and stated that the Clerk and the guy in front of her were both out of line............she was shaking horribly.......upset about her granddaughter....... My wife is like what are you doing.............I said waiting to apologize to granny............loudmouth dude in line........got in his car and zoomed out of the lot.......... It was without a doubt...........the craziest crap I have ever seen at a post office.............I lost my power the next day for 7 days.............so, I had other things to worry about and forgot about it all...........now the fight is with state farm.......folks who consider your house habitable: if you have no power, live lines on the ground right next to your house, no heat, no running water, no nothing----tree limbs are falling onto your house, the temps at night ranged from the teens to low 30's.......and you have a 6 and 5 year old in the house...........what a crock..........LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR my butt......they were of no help and did their best to belittle the wife and I with every phone call we made......the last straw was my insurance agent of 14 years.......talking to me like I was a criminal with my hand out...........Progressive hear I come...........starting Dec 04...........the only question I asked them, repeatedly was if there was some way State Farm could get us a reduced rate at a hotel or motel...............still have not gotten an answer..........but we stayed at a Bed and Breakfast one night....and they gave the wife crap, stating--why did you feel it necessary to stay at a hotel?? unreal................................................... Glad they made it..........never had a Postal Clerk curse me out before and throw my package back at me............very interesting........

bentflyrod 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2011 Margaretann, the postman decided to deliver your flies yesterday. I got home real late and I have not opened them yet, so I don't know how they look. Bluegill I am watching for them. BFR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chase Creek 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2011 Mine arrived today. Downside - really nice job wrapping. My wife does not understand why I can't seem to wrap that well, so she now wants me to help her wrap the Christmas gifts. Anyway, thanks for hosting this again - really looking forward to Christmas morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
