Delivery part 2

Didn't realize yesterday that this would be a two part post....Remember the UPS story from yesterday? (If not scroll down and read Delivery). Well turns out I stayed home sick today and around 10:30 my doorbell rings. I ask who it is, knowing it is UPS, and get the forecasted answer. I buzz him in and wait...I make sure that the PJ's I am wearing are suitable for answering the door in....they are...I wait some more...Finally, wondering if I let in someone elses UPS guy (or a psycho killer) I throw jeans on and head downstairs just in time to see the UPS truck pulling away from the light at my corner.
What the fuck? No package in the lobby, none on the stairs. So I head back up and just for curiosity poke my head around the corner on the second floor (I live on the third floor)....Yup, there at the exact apartment below mine is a UPS package leaning up against the door. I creep up to it (though why I am creeping in the middle of the day I am not sure) and pick it up. The box is a little tattered, but there it is - my name and my apartment number, which clearly states I live on the third floor not the second.
So I guess, according to the rules at UPS, if the package requires a signature you must first leave a note and the second day you must be buzzed in by the correct receiver and then leave it at the wrong door.

Delivery

I'm sick so don't have a lot of energy to post, but had to put this down before I head back to bed. I think it is highly entertaining (and just a little fucked up) that DHL delivery service is completely okay with leaving my $500+ worth of drugs (pre insurance that is, I only pay $120) on the floor of my lobby in front of my mail box, while UPS leaves me a note that my $30 worth of books from Barnes and Noble can't be delivered without a signature. They will be trying again tomorrow - good thing I'm taking a sick day.
