  • Wow, that's a whole new level of dumb

    I had to deliver some bookcases to an office in my city's main transit hub. I had specific instructions to be there at 5:00 pm on the nose. Right away I'm calling "dumb" here because I know how busy that place is at that time, but hey, what do I know, I'm just a dumb mover.

    I was scheduled to be at my first call until 4:00, but wound up finishing at 10:00. I thought this would work out perfectly, I could get in early to the second call, avoid the 5:00 mob, and have a nice, easy early day. I call the shop to get this set up and they tell me no, the customer was very specific that it has to be at 5:00. They wind up sending me to help out some other guys until 4:00.

    So 5:00 hits and we're at the loading dock with the customer. He warns us that the route is long and winding, and is taking us right through the commuter area where there's lots of people. I ask him what's up with that, why couldn't we do this earlier before the big 5:00 rush hit. He explains how it's building rules that all furniture moving must be done after hours. I'm like, yeah, that's pretty standard for normal buildings, but pretty stupid considering that 5:00 is the busiest possible time in this building.

    He didn't appear to appreciate my attitude or the conversation so I dropped it and we began the journey. It was literally wall to wall people in some areas. At one point I got held up for over five minutes as a line of people began moving and not a single one of them was willing to stop for as much as a second to let me through. I had to make one more wiseass comment after that, saying "yeah, good thing we came after hours" but that didn't even draw even a little smirk from the customer.

    After about 30 minutes to do the 5 minute walk, we finally got to our destination and got the job done.
