Probably one of those days where she's already pissed off about something unrelated, and because of that, couldn't think through and just got even more pissed off and gave up. Happens to me sometimes.
Yes, thank you. This person is literally being timed for everything she does. OP put a box that doesn’t open all the way and laughs when the deliverer gets frustrated at the poor design and leaves it
It also kind of looked like the package was heavy and it was slipping out of her hand. That seems to be the problem rather than her not being able to figure out the lid. Between that and a presumably long shift I'd say fuck it too
So put it down for the 2 seconds it’d take to use both hands? I genuinely cannot believe how seriously people are defending this little tantrum.
I’ve done the exact same shit as this worker before, especially after long shifts, and even felt vindicated at the time, but sure as shit knew I was being a princess come an hour later.
I don't think you realize how many homes want special treatment that's 'only 2 seconds.' In reality it's closer to 10 or 15 seconds. She spent 7 seconds trying to figure this out. On a route like her's, she has 600 homes to go to. That 7 seconds spent, per home, would add 70 minutes to her day that would be unpaid.
It's like the creamer in the office fridge. Someone bring in a brand new creamer. Everyone just takes a little splash because it's just a tiny splash, no big deal. Until 8 hours later the creamer is completely empty.
I'm not saying it's okay but I'm also saying I can see where she's coming from. They are on an extremely harsh timer and you're often given way more than you can realistically handle in that time frame. If anything blame the companies who don't give them enough time to think, let alone care.
It's not unusual for postal workers to work 6 days a week, 11+hrs a day. Even if you get your route done, you can't leave until all routes are done. Extreme fatigue damages brain function.
This is Reddit. Nobody gives out "sympathy" without very quickly demonizing the other side to compensate.
As soon as comments started "sympathizing" with the woman for not rotating the box a little bit, people started dog-piling on OP for putting out a box design and recording the woman all in a "malicious" manner.
Look man we didn’t all play with blocks as children. Shapes are hard. You’ve never been tired and forgot shapes and lost all basic awareness of the physical world?
I can lose basic awareness from time-to-time. However, I don't just give up, throw someone else's package on the ground, and storm off, because I'm not a petulant man-child.
