(Should have come today but I guess seasonal mail is always a problem) Waiting on a package today when and all that came (very early in the day) was some junk from HK off eBay.
About 1 hour later I get a knock on the door, the time it takes for me to walk to the door it's a louder rapping... and "HELLO?"
Jeez I thought who could be in such a rush.
Through the spyhole I see a unfamiliar face and proceed to open the door reflexively (why do I even bother checking if I open the door anyways).
Across the road (I live in a close) I see to uniformed fellows. Maybe community support officers.
Shit.. Shit... Shit...
"Mate, MATE"
I look back at the unfamiliar face. His bored expression is almost angry now, "You going to sign for it or what?" I bring my hands up but am distracted by the two fellows in the back who have now broken their conversation and look over to us. Clearly we're making a scene. Or maybe they are getting ready to spring into action.
I raise my hands to take the palmtop to sign and hesitate.
The delivery man begins chewing his gum violently, if you can chew aggressively this is it. I can see spittle flying from his mouth as though it;s trying to flee his loud and hard chopping. It brings to mind the cliched scenes where people scramble on conveyor belts to escape industrial machines stamping on them.
I drop my hands, this is totally a CD, it's late, it's signed for, there are cops in the background I've never seen this delivery guy before.
THUMP!
The delivery guy turns around and walks off. He's thrown an amazon package at me and decided a signature isn't worth it.
Then it hits me again. I don't live in the totalitarian united states , There are no CD's in civilized parts of Europe. It's just a book my housemate ordered off amazon.
Either I've had too much bud, or not enough so I popped a xanax. There's always tomorrow for mail.
Anyways, AMAA!
Cop tactics are getting really weird.
