The stupidity of some people...OT...kind of

This beat all I'd ever seen. When I went to my nearest UPS drop box to drop a pkg. tonight, I had a hard time getting the legal sized envelope down the shoot. When this has happened in the past, I simply pull down then push up the handle a few times with some force. Well, my actions were not reaping any results, so I got out of the car to take a looksee.

I found the obstruction...someone had crammed a large brown box marked "FRAGILE" in the small, letter drop box. The box, along with many other envelopes were stuck half way in and half way out of the drop box. Not having the time to go to the depot or another drop box, I had to shove my envelope and my arm down the shoot to place my envelope properly. I had visions of last nights episode of "Scrubs" in my head as I was doing this and even thought "oh my gosh, what if some drove by and thought I was robbing the UPS box."

What kind of MoMo does it take to cram an oversized box down a letter drop box? I guess it wasn't all that FRAGILE and if it was, it's broken now.

I have had the same thing happen to me - chute was jammed with a package about the size of a shoe box. I was able to force the package far enough to one side so I could slip the envelope by... what the heck are these people thinking??

MoMo Mystery Solved

**What kind of MoMo does it take to cram an oversized box down a letter drop box? **

What kind of MoMo stands behind his mother in the car and flips the bird without realizing she can see him in the rear view mirror? (Sorry, Renee' - your boy came to mind first!)

The MoMo in question was probably dropping it off for his mother and didn't want to go all the way to the station.

Mystery solved...I used to have a collection of MoMo's living with me. I just hope I live long enough to become a huge MoMo to them.

There's a difference...

16 year olds aren't Momo's... they're dumb by design. "Before you can be old and wise you first must be young and stupid" It's a law of nature.

A 40 year old woman winding herself running after a 16 year old boy that she has no chance of catching (and who will be at the dinner table in an hour just as sure as the sun rises)... now that's a Momo...

By the way Rene... thanks for the story... that was a riot. When you mentioned 30 reasons, I couldn't help but think of Heartbreak Ridge... an Eastwood movie a few years ago. Sgt. Eastwood caught one of his young soldiers flipping him the bird... "Your girlfriend's gonna cry when I bite that finger clean off."

No difference. And yes...that's clearly what mine were...MoMo's. Until Becca illustrated the behavior, I had not connected the dots.

Some outgrow the MoMo syndrome and some never do. Thank goodness that Becca has put a term on this condition. Now, all we need is a television show called, "The MoMo Years."

MoMo years: This could range from 11 to 77.

Easy solution...

You have to assure the security of your loan docs... and timely delivery....

And you don't want to steal a Christmas package...

So reach in there, pull out the Momo's box and drop kick it accross the parking lot.

Problem solved.

Post office lined out the door, traffic around the shopping centers, people driving like idiots, FedeX and Brown taken over by fruitcakes nobody wants anyway...

Bah humbug

Found the same box today... Your words were

mild compared to what I said about that jackbag! The "FRAGILE" box is definitely broken now! If I could have pulled the darn thing out, I'd have punted it like a football across the fence behind the box!!! I pulled out 25 envelopes from the top chute and tried to pull the box out, but it slid down inside before I could get it.
