    On that post office/UPS/FedEx thing.. When I was in Central IL and out here in Utah, we have PO boxes. No USPS home delivery. Its annoying to me when you try to order something and they will not accept a PO Box for a mailing addy. Then when they ship the thing, they send it via USPS anyway.
    I also had problems with bank/credit card companies not wanting to use my PO Box as my address. The one customer service person just couldn't believe that some people don't have mail delivered right to their house.

    My post office in IL was open from like 8am-11. So you only had this small window of time to pick up any packages. They didn't have the big boxes to put your stuff in. Annoying. At least out here they put smaller packages into other boxes and put the key in your PO box. ...and they're open until noon! :D

    Oh, and one time Bloodcrick sent me an engraved rock, being the swell guy that he is, he paid extra for special Sunday delivery. Needless to say. It wasn't delivered on Sunday.

    I have the exact same problem with same size. Finally just said screw it and found a pair of jeans I like and order online all the time. It's gotta be the hardest size to find.

    I have a Redfield rebate coming and they won't take PO boxes but coming USPS. Put PO and physical address on it so it better show up one of the two!

    We briefly had a postmaster who would return mail if it didn't have the box number on it. So my vehicle registration got returned to the state. :( The sec of state worker didn't want to list both a po box and street address. Thankfully that guy didn't last long at our post office. It was a tiny town and every other postmaster could figure out who was who.
    Out here in Utah not having home delivery is much more common.

    Good luck with the rebate!

    Yeah I live in a small town too I have PO Box 11, not too many of us here. UPS guy pisses me off probably doesn't want to drive way west of town and down the 1/2 mile driveway, heck it isn't even muddy yet.;)

    Take out food places that have a tip line printed on their receipts, come on you just put the food on the counter and rang me up. You didn't deliver my food or fill my water glass...

    THIS! I remember when I was first learning Web Development in high school 12 years ago. Back when Flash was all the rage. It was a common piece of advice to avoid auto playing both video AND sound. Seems that has gone to the wayside on many site especially with ads.

    The other day I saw a woman pay for her goods with a foodstamp card while her 12ish year old son got kicked out of the store for attempted shoplifting, when I walked out I saw them get in a Yukon Denali and drive off. There were too many things wrong for me to be able to construct a single rant about in that situation.

    I agree. they should give you a choice of sounds. Can you imagine a Prius that sounds like an 18-wheeler hauling 30,000 pounds of bananas?

    :sheep:
    That would be slightly awesome
