My post office sucks.
I called my post office earlier today, fed up that they still have not redelivered my DBSK bags after I first requested them to do so over a week ago. They asked me when it was initially delivered, and I said Monday of last week. (Although to be fair, it's possible that they misheard that as last Monday.) And the person over the phone said to come pick it up at the post office because they don't return packages to the sender that quickly.

So I go to the post office and of course the employee who I asked to retrieve my package ends up getting into a ten-minute spat with her manager in front of everyone. Okay, whatever, I'm willing to shrug that off. But then I'm informed that my package is nowhere to be found, and that it is in fact possible that it was returned to the sender.

The employee asked me where my mailing slip was, and I informed her that I had checked the option for redelivery and left it for my mailman to pick up, but it was never redelivered. And that it's been a week since then. She said that she'll ask my mailman if she still has the mailing slip and that she'll check again to see if my package was put on hold somewhere. (And if it was, I still have to idea how they plan to get it to me. Are they finally going to redeliver it or do they expect me to come by the post office again? Ugh.)

And as if I wasn't already annoyed enough with my situation, the woman then proceeds to give me this short, confusing lecture on how I shouldn't leave my mail laying around because it might fall into the wrong hands or I might get a new mailman who wouldn't know what to do with it. Umm, what the fuck? It was a mailing slip that I left on the face of my mailbox for the mailman to find. Where the hell else was I supposed to put it? I even secured the damn thing with mailing tape, which has kept my posters safely stuck on my wall for months now, so the only way it could've gotten "lost" is if my neighbors decide to rip it off for no reason. And the incompetency of their new mailmen is entirely their problem. I just wanted the damn thing redelivered; that should be entirely in their power to do with little trouble.

And of course there's the possibility that the package got shipped back all the way to Thailand without any attempt at redelivery on their part. Just great, especially seeing as how one of the bags was supposed to be an xmas present for a friend. Now it's going to be a super-fucking-late xmas present. The one thing I'm thankful for is that I bought this from a fellow fan, so if it did get returned, asking them to resend the package shouldn't be too hard. (Even though I'll have to pay for shipping again.) And I guess I'll just have to pray that they deliver at a time when my mom is still home. :/

Mind you, this is far from the first time I've had problems with my post office, but this is easily the worst experience I've had. So to reiterate: my post office sucks.

I'll go drown myself in DBSK fanservice now in an attempt to make myself feel better. Or stare at this for an inordinate length of time and think about how it will soon be mineminemine. Well, you know, assuming that my post office doesn't in some way screw me over again.
