To a certain used furniture shop:
fuck you and your stupid logo with something hard and sandpapery! I bought I bed from you, I paid the delivery charge, you said it would be there sometime this afternoon, I said no problem, I may be at work but someone will be around.
THIS AFTERNOON DOES NOT MEAN AFTER 4:30!!! that techincally becomes THE EVENING. The afternoon means between noon and four to the rest of us! and when I call and mention that hey, gee, I really hope they can get it there before four….nothing. you say you’ll just have to do it tomorrow, even though ti’s on the truck. how aobut calling the truck guy and asking if, while tooling around the south end, eh couldn’t just pop by my place BEFORE 4???
fuck you. I hate sleeping on the floor.

OP, didn’t you still get your delivery? As long as the drivers made it to your place that day, what the fuck does it matter if the bed arrived at 4:30 instead of between 12-4pm?? The delivery trucks for this company probably have a number of stops all over HRM, and specific time frames to which they are expected to arrive at each one. To skip someone else’s stop, ‘pop by your place’ (which isn’t exactly just popping by if they’re moving and setting up a fucking bed for you), and then continue with the rest of thier manifest, would completely screw up the entire scheduled day for them. This is why you were given the AFTERNOON as a time frame..they can’t promise an exact time. Perhaps they met traffic or had one or two difficult customers. I’m sure you aren’t making a hard job any easier for them. If you still got your bed as promised, chill the fuck out and think for just a minute about how busy your day would be if you had a truck load of furniture to deliver all around the city, with bitchy customers to boot.
No, it didn’t actually come. nor has it come today. needless to say I’m a trifle annoyed (hence the bitch- which I would never, btw, actually let out on the poor delivery guy, just doing his job. although if I don’t get it by the end of the day today I’m calling the manager).
At least you got your 2 cents in, even though it wasn’t worth 2 shits… eh “poop”?
lol @ poop.i didnt know that after 4 pm is no longer AFTERnoon. Technically it is AFTER noon. I am curious where the definition is set in stone that anything after 4 is not the afternoon.
It’s really annoying that you didn’t get your bed, but afternoon lasts until five fifty nine…then it’s evening. If they were able to deliver it before six pm and you weren’t available to receive it, then it is beyond their responsibility.I hope you get your bed soon. I would be quite lost without mine, so I feel your pain.
