I had a (nother) unpleasant experience with my local post office last time I went to mail something out. I always seem to go when there is this wiry old hatchet faced woman serving, and she has the sense of humour of a particularly unfunny rock. I try to be nice, but its evidently pointless.

So, I put my parcel on the scale to get the shipping cost, and she glowered at me and demanded to know what was in it, and furthermore: was it DANGEROUS?? I'd already filled out the customs label which she could see, so I thought it was a bit of a redundant question, and read out the customs label to her verbatim which stated it was a broken pipe going to the states for a repair, sort of challenging her to continue down this line of questioning. She clammed up and processed the parcel. As I was about to leave she jabbed a pamphlet at me and said in cold tones "You need to read this. It's very serious. We wouldn't want you to get in... trouble." I read down the front page and burst out laughing, it was a page of images of what you are now 'not allowed' to send in the post, many of them were illegal. The one that made me laugh was a big marijuana leaf. So I asked her if it was still ok to send heroin and cocaine. "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" she shot back with vitriol and not a trace of humour.

Anyway, I thought you guys might be interested:

I'm just off to pack my next parcel, its a lovely shipment of ebola, C4, an M4 and ammo wrapped in human remains. Oh and a baggie of acid.
 
thats pretty funny, wonder what she thought you were sending?
 
Andy - if we don't hear from you for a while at least we'll all know what happened to you. :lol:

What kind if acid? Acetic acid (found in vinegar)? Carbonic acid? Hydrofluoric acid? Formic acid? Hydrochloric acid? Sulfuric acid, or maybe D-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide 25? :p



:lol!:
 
Also what kind of idiot would answer the question 'is it dangerous' with a yes? Oh hell yes, its genocidal, I'm glad to get it away from myself in all honesty. Wait, why are you calling the police? Muppet.

She's seen me post a lot of parcels marked with tobacco samples, I do think she thinks I'm some kind of small-time marijuana smuggler. I imagine they'd look similar if they were examined by xray.

I'm pretty sure anything approaching lemon juice would land me in trouble.

Next time throw in a few incense cones just to mess with her. :mrgreen:
 
I would go up there when they were busy, wait my turn in line and waste a bit of her time. Not so much as to really piss off the people behind me but enough to mess with her a little.
 
That's funny. I know they're required to ask all the questions, but I get weary of it.

I want to make a T-Shirt that says, "NO, it doesn't contain anything fragile, liquid, perishable, or potentially hazardous." That way I can just point to the shirt. :D
 
Ha! Similar experience with the postal service here back when I worked in a forensics lab.

"What's in the package?"
"Um remains"
"Is it dangerous?"
"Only if you open it!"

Never again man never again! And yes it really was a package of human remains which was legal to be shipped at the time. 4 1/2 hours later I returned to work where my boss just totally lost it laughing!

Heh. Sounds like she had to rise twice and pray thrice after you puckered her up like that. :lol: What a sour old sack. :lol: Glad to hear post workers are apparently made in a factory someplace and exported worldwide.
 
Oh the things I am going to be mailing your direction now, Adam&Ev-.co- here I come. If she refers to it as the _____ not your _____ she will be my new favorite person.
