ponderous...fucking PONDEROUS!

Well, I pay bills the old fashioned way…write a check and mail them out. Today I wrote 5 of them…leaving me with a ramen noodle diet until next week’s paycheck.

So I walk towards the drop box (one of those normal blue USPS things) and a guy sort of sneaks up to it when I’m about 10 feet from it…and he’s just standing there swinging the door open and closed for like 3 minutes. After the 3rd swing (note: NOT the 3rd minute!) I say, “Excuse me, I have to mail my stuff!”

He says: “Yeah, I see that.” And he keeps on going at a pace that is forming a line.

Me: “What the hell are you doing anyway?”

Him: “Just swinging the door.”

So I wandered around for a minute or so…with my bills in hand. I came back, he was just finishing up. He knew I was pissed, but I refused to raise my voice at all.

Me: “All done now?”

Him: “Yup. All ready to go!” And he left.

WTF was the point of that??? Fucking douchebag. :rolleyes:

Post your “future Darwin nominees” stories, or comment on mine!

Maybe he was the federal USPS mail box door tester?

haha, that guy is sweet.

I should have mentioned that he was a wierd old guy…not wearing a uniform. button-down, half tucked, short sleeve shirt, cut-off shorts, and brown socks with sandals. It was actually hard to NOT notice this shit. lol

circulating the air for the fire?

Me: “What the hell are you doing anyway?”
Him: “Just swinging the door.”

That part’s the best.

I was going to say maybe he has OCD, but by your description of his appearance it sounds like that’s probably not it.

shit, i thought we were gonna find out it was you :slight_smile:

i KNEW if it wasn’t tho that you’d think this move was prime :tspry:

He would have been moved from the box and my letters would have gone in. Then I would have said…ok…playtime can resume now.

You should have timed it right, and stuck your letters in as he was doing it…

That would have been the skill move right there

ellisdee

should have just shoved him out of the way. Fuck that. I dont have any patience for asshats like that.

but I’m not violent unless provoked. Leaving him drowning in a puddle of his own blood would have been sweet though.

lol, the title from 103.3?

it’s Casey Casem (supposedly) saying that. hehehe…and it was around quite a while. I think Ted Shred and Mr. Ed used it on The FOX. lol

my money would bet on him being ocd. when someone is ocd they aren’t neccessarily ocd about everything

lol thats what I was thinking

OCD maybe. If he did it for a certain # of times, it might be a routine for him every day if he lives close by or something.

BUT maybe he was just trying to annoy you :slight_smile:

He certainly succeeded! lol
