Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

If I get a package requiring a signature via UPS, UPS just forces me to go into their store. Like clockwork, the delivery day comes by and at the end of it the status updates to 'recipient unavailable to sign' or something to that effect. I check my doorbell camera and no one ever comes to the door let alone rings it. One time I saw the UPS truck stop at my driveway and the status update timestamp was from while it was stopped. It's pathetic. I'm not even a hard house, literally a suburbs house where the door is like 10ft from the road.
I've had this happen a few times. Contacted FedEx support and was told there was nothing they could do, and I could pick my package up at their warehouse. So frustrating.
Fed-Ex doesn't deliver packages. They deliver ransom notes. I'm convinced that Fed-Ex drivers don't even have package in their trucks. Only ransom notes.
I feel like it isn't necessarily the drivers faults. They likely have insane quotas and FedEx needs to just hire more fucking drivers.
FedEx has an actual delivery rate for me of about 30 %. Rest is a note magically showing up and no doorbell ring
They (all delivery services) just leave it at my door anyway. Even when I know the sender specifically requested a signature delivery.
Hell, just a couple weeks ago I put a hold on my mail because I knew I was going to get a package while OK vacation. They wrote "hold" on the box and left it at my door anyway. Thankfully it didn't rain while I was gone.
