Of course I said "No problem". Later that day the delivery truck pulled up. A uniformed guy came in carrying a big box which looked to me quite heavy. He said "Package, where do you want it?" I pointed to a spot on the floor . "Right there's fine thank you" I said. So he set the box down and then came over to me. He stood there looking at me.
It was a little awkward, he just stood there. Looking. I was thinking WHAT? aren't I supposed to sign for this? What are you looking at?
Finally he said "Sign here" and so I wrote my name. He looked at me one last time, then left.
Wow, I thought, that was weird. Wonder what he was thinking.
Then I looked a little closer at the box and the label. Can you see what it says? This Package contains Alcoholand this,
Do not deliver to an intoxicated person
He was checking to see that I hadn't confused breakfast with Happy Hour. He was trying to determine that my red bleary eyes were a result of computer over use (it was 11:00 a.m.) and not a Pumpkintini in my smoothie. I may have had an extra glass last night...does that count? Seriously, how can they do this? I have never seen this before. I showed a few people and they hadn't either. What would he have done? Ummm... sorry ma`mm..you've had one too many, I'm gonna have to take your wine back now.Seriously.
ha ha ha. Wooo.

haha - one wonders why the original recipient did not want to receive the parcel directly??
ReplyDeleteand why would a wine distributor insist that the package be delivered to a non-drinker??
maybe he was just mesmerised by your radiance?
xxV
LOL! I was thinking, as I started reading this, and as Val said, that he must have been mesmerized by your beauty! I wonder what he would really have done if you'd been swaying and shlurrrrrrrrring....

val, you are right! the whole thing just seemed so ridiculus, what in the world were they thinking? my friend explained they woulden't deliver to a p.o.box, so at least that part makes sense!
ReplyDeletevanilla, thanks for the comment! and here's another thing i thought: good i WASN'T intoxicated ha! or my friend may have been denied her wine.Shooo,drunk at work. i guess it happens! hahaha!

Again, Lori, w´hat a wonderful hilarious post! If Mr. Fish, our postman, would have given me such a long gaze I would have started wondering, too ( I know his wife just left him...) but this is a very funny end of story, too! Still haven`t got much time to read and write, but thinking of you!!
ReplyDeletethanks Angela, I wonder if I wouldve asked him what he was looking at, if he wouldve told me!
