I took today off work because I had ordered a new graphics card so I could enjoy Oblivion this weekend. Shipping info specified delivery between 08.00 and 12.30 so I sat by the window the entire morning. Then, the shipping info changed to “12.30-15.30” so I continued waiting. And I felt a bowel movement coming on.

Knowing my luck, I tried to postpone it as much as I could, but I eventually had to relent to the power of my colon.

And wouldn’t you know it - in that 4-5 minute window, they ‘attempted delivery’ and I now got a message saying I can pick it up after the weekend.

Which is when I start a new work regimen of 6/7. So no Oblivion for me in the foreseeable future.

Thanks Belgian post services! Always ready to disappoint. Never change!

    Same thing happened to me. Specifically waited for something expensive, FedEx “attempted” delivery (did not knock or ring the doorbell). I called them to complain, so the delivery driver redelivered and was apparently irritated that I did so because the box and contents were now mysteriously damaged…
