Status: I was just checking the tracking on some packages that I have coming in and this thought process occurred:
-checks USPS tracking number-
"Fucking hell, the USPS has the most worthless tracking system in history. Total rubbish. It would be impossible to make any parcel tracking system that was worse than this."
-checks DHL tracking number-
-remembers that DHL tracking only works about half the time-
"OK, I was obviously wrong on that last thought."

That's nothing. I've received a package while the status still showed "Shipping Information Received from Sender".

Yes, that package was delivered yesterday. As far as their tracking is concerned, it vanished in to the ether.

I always thought it would be something like the configuration of a Siemens HiPath 4000 enterprise pbx. You get a type of terminal in an ugly font that was outdated in 1980. And most importantly, the commands are all German but because German is such a long language everything is abbreviated beyond recognition.

Technically it's DHL that “want” it.

Also, we would all have to use fax instead of email.
That would be my personal hell. A world where faxes were not something we have to occasionally support, but a daily occurence.

Just realize that this package crossed the Canadian border, got handed to Canada-Post, then got delivered to my house.

Ever since our previous mailman retired our mail service has sucked. Myself and my neighbors have to constantly pass mail back and forth that was delivered to the wrong mailbox. Which is another reason I hate the crazy bitch that lives to my left. She has never once brought mail over to us, and I find it hard to believe that she is the only neighbor that has not had any mistakenly delivered to her address.

I used to pass mail back and forth to my neighbors until I noticed that none of them were returning mine. And last time I received a letter that is for at least 10 houses to my right.

That sounds like a friend of mine. All the neighbors gather a couple times a week and exchange mail. (They're repeatedly filed grievances with the post office). Except he's scared shitless of dogs. That are locked in the house. Behind a closed window which is 10ft from the mailbox. Oh, the dog barks. Loudly.
