(20,886 posts)Rain or shine, end of drive. The FedEx guy, on the other hand, I spend as long looking for the package as it took to get there in the first place. I do have to give him credit for being creative, though.

(111,245 posts)so if I'm not home and don't hear the truck (it's got squeaky brakes), the challenge is finding out where the guy hid the package. Took me a whole week to find a monitor once.

(2,382 posts)... I look younger than my years, but not THAT young. A recent delivery of the same commodity made a rather supercilious older deliveryman demand my ID, which was in the house. I gave him the stink eye and said, "I turned 21 in 1968."
He said, "Oh. You're older than me. Please sign here." And then he left. Small victories count, too.

(16,166 posts)what better way than to tell someone they look younger than they look?

(2,382 posts)... he didn't look the type. And besides, a big ol' married bear like me with two grown sons wouldn't have appealed to him.

(14,691 posts)My two stories:
My father was prematurely bald but baby-faced. One winter's day he attempted a purchase at a liquor store. The clerk wouldn't ring up the sale because he looked too young. My father wordlessly removed his hat, displaying his extensively bald head. KA-CHING!
I was asked by a liquor store clerk if I was over 21. I replied "I have over 21 gray hairs." hehe
