Category 5 Posted January 13, 2007 Report Posted January 13, 2007 While I was at work the mail carrier came to deliver my new Carrera Chrono. I have been chomping at the bit all week. The wife decided not to answer the doorbell because she wasn't fully dressed, and so I got a nice little pink slip. "You can pick up your package on Tuesday, January 16th after 8:30". Argh!!!! She does not understand why I am so upset....
KB Posted January 13, 2007 Report Posted January 13, 2007 Although I suspect that you would have been more upset if she answered the door naked But yeah I know where you're coming from (it happens to me a lot).........bummer Ken
Pugwash Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 She does not understand why I am so upset.... ... and she doesn't understand why you expected her to go near the door, shout "just a second", throw on a dressing gown and open the front door. I mean no make-up? Are you serious? ps. Yes, this is the sort of thing we live with as men.

I mean no make-up? Are you serious? ps. Yes, this is the sort of thing we live with as men. Well, even that wouldn't have been necessary. Not dressed means she was wearing her pajamas (long sleep pants and a button up shirt). Sometimes she just assumes that whoever it is will come back later if it's important. I need to break her of that. She WILL answer the door if she's expecting Chinese or a Pizza, lol. At least I know the watch is here and I can have it Tuesday. That's better than not knowing if it even made it through customs. I would have liked to wear it to the hockey game tonight though.
r11co Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 I don't have this concern as I live round the corner from my local Post Office parcel depot. I just hope they don't close it.
Pugwash Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 I don't have this concern as I live round the corner from my local Post Office parcel depot. I just hope they don't close it. When I move to my wee village in Scotland, I'll have no post-office as the local one closed. This means if a package arrives, I have to get a bus for 20 minutes to the nearest town. It's a good job I'll be working from home.
cornerstone Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 I'll be working from home. And, I take it, dress appropriately in anticipation of the postie arriving! No more 'Naturism Friday' for Puggy when the next IWC is due....
Pugwash Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 No more 'Naturism Friday' for Puggy when the next IWC is due.... Au contraire, Mister Postman, au contraire!

Category 5 Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Posted January 15, 2007 A very wierd thing happened today. A courier knocked on the door today, and delivered my watch. On Sunday! I couldn't believe it. It's here, and aside from a slightly crooked marker it is fantastic. Who ever heard of Sunday delivery, much less delivery when US mail had already left a notice stating that the package was at the post office for pickup on Tuesday. Maybe I married bewitched and she wiggled her chin to bring the delivery guy here this morning. I anwered the door in my underwear!
morgan Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 I had the same problem w/ having a attempt to deliver on my door cuz the wife ignored or didn't hear the knock. Now.. I have them shipped to my office... somebody is always around to accept and I get my watch on the first attempt!!!
