While I suppose it is possible, as there are short tempered people in all
jobs, I highly doubt this story. HAD it happened, he would have filed
charges, most likely it would have made the news and well - He may have been
a future owner of UPS. BUT, somehow, it sounds too good to be true. MNS

I ordered a radio a few days ago, and knowing the problems some of
the parcel services have delivering on time and without damage, I
decided to take the day off when the it was due to arrive. Around 2
PM today, I heard a noise at the front gate and when I went to
investigate, I saw my package flying over the fence and landing in the
front yard. I couldn't see the driver, but boy was I ticked. This
was a $1500.00 Icom R8500 and this guy had just treated it like a
bale of hay. I screamed at the top of my lungs "You blithering idiot,
if you damaged my radio, I'm gonna kick your ass out the top of your
head and then call your boss and get your lazy butt fired"!

As I was bent over checking the condition of the package, the driver
apparently came over the fence and booted me right in the ass, causing
me to fall on the package. I managed to stagger to my feet and lunged
at the goon, but he got me in a head lock and proceeded to kick my ass
repeatedly all over the front yard, down the fence row, and back into
the front yard again. This guy was bull-strong, apparently from
throwing heavy packages over fences, and huge..at least 6 feet 7 and
probably 320 pounds. After beating the living daylights out of me for
the better part of 10 minutes, he headed back toward the fence, but
stopped near my package and did about 5 or 6 of those elbow drops on
it, like the pro wrestlers do. Needless to say, the radio was totally
destroyed.

The only good thing to come out of this was that the radio was insured
and I'll be able to get it replaced. Now here's my problem. Should I
use the same company for delivery next time? They did get the radio
to me pretty quickly and it probably would have arrived safely if the
driver hadn't thrown it over the fence. If I sit out on the street
with a real tough and intimidating look on my face when the driver
arrives next time, that should do the trick, don't you think?

One must wonder, if his true ID were to be discovered, if UPS could hold him
for charges? Make his life miserable.

First of all, you had NO LEGAL right to even lay hands on the driver..whether
right or wrong. You should have called the service and filed a DAMAGE CLAIM for
the item and gone from there. Whether mad or not, the law doesnt ALLOW you to
attack folks who you are ****ed at. (Yes, we UNDERSTAND how you feel
but...).Screaming obscenities at the jerk only provoked him, and if you make a
LEGAL issue out of this, you WILL lose as YOU provoked HIM. Let it go and LEARN
from it.If you use the service again next time for another delivery, what are
you gonna do if the SAME GUY is the delivery person? Suggest you try another...

Absolutely. After all, they did give you good service. I wouldn't
sit on the street, though. What you should do, is figure out the
driver's route, and then, on the day you expect delivery, follow him
from his depot, with loaded shotgun..then, at an opportune point,
attack him and take your own parcel at gunpoint.
This way, you can claim you never received the parcel, and you can get
TWO radios....

LOL - I can' believe how booooooooooooooring some of these people must
be to post responses the way they do.....

YES!! I've missed Emilio's "creative writings", good to see that either
he's back or that somebody has taken on his task, to keep us all
entertained!

Sounds like you should count your blessings as you have found a
great delivery company there. You should see the FedEx and UPS
drivers in my area.......
