So at 8 AM, L texted me saying that one of his Amazon purchases had been delivered, and asked that I retrieve it ASAP, as there has been a string of ASSHOLES stealing packages from peoples porches in the last month [not here specifically, but in general], so, knowing I would end up forgetting if I just went back to sleep, I threw on my robe and headed outside. My hope was that it was just on the bench, as we’ve had some pretty awesome mailmen/UPS-men before who did that, but no luck. So I continued on to the back yard and checked the back of our house, because sometimes they ended up there too. Nope. So I turned around and saw what I thought was a really tall bundle of garden hose. ‘The hell?’ Thought I, 'the neighbors moved, whats a garden hos- Oh….Oh no…’
I saw it. Unboxed. And I knew, because L had told me, that any packages from here on out were for me because they all had been delayed. Well, I walked closer, already trying to find the words to tell L that this most awesome of Christmas presents had been ruined by Amazon, when I came up to it and saw just how ruined it was.
Its a LEEEETLE bit obvious what it is, and I was pissed, for L. So I picked it up, brought it inside, and its now sitting on another of my gifts, waiting for L to get home. I told him, and he’s equally, if not 100x more livid than I. Like I understand the awkward shape, but not putting it in a box not only ruins any surprise there could have been, but HOLY SHIT it could have been SO DAMAGED. LIKE?! It literally just feels wrapped in a garbage bag. I’ll be 100% surprised if it has ANY bubble wrap in it.
