One time I was expecting an important, time sensitive shipment and by coincedence the delivery date was Valentines Day. My husband and I had plans but I needed to stay home until the package arrived. I waited till 7pm for it and we missed our reservations. I was not happy so I called the UPS depot to see what happened. They said the delivery truck had tried to deliver it that afternoon but there was no one home to sign for it. I told the boss at the depot that I had been waiting on the porch all afternoon into the evening waiting for it and had not even seen a single UPS truck on our street. The next day right after dawn the UPS truck stopped on the side of the road and left the package there so I had to walk down to the road and get it. The driver didn't bother to get anything signed. He just took off as fast as he could. I guess I must have gotten him in trouble with his boss. LOL
