Bus FAIL (Part XXXVII)

I was out at the bus stop, this morning, with plenty of time before either the regular 6 or the 6 Limited (which starts its route at my stop) were to come by.

There must have been something going on at the Business School, as there was a slightly larger crowd of suited students than usual for non-summer months (when the bus only runs once an hour).

When the Limited pulled up (empty), people filed on and filled it to capacity. The driver refused any more passengers, leaving about a dozen of us standing out in the 10-degree weather.

We twelve stood there, watching the bus pull away. A couple of the left-behind business students looked as if they were standing on the deck of the Titanic, watching the last lifeboat leave.

We waited for the regular 6, which ought to have arrived within two minutes.

We waited... and waited... and waited.

After about ten minutes, I finally called Bloomington Transit and asked where the bus was. I was told that one of the busses was "having problems" and would be around as soon as they could send one.

So, we waited until the next Limited came by, on its regular schedule.

All in all, I stood out there for half an hour, and by the time I got into my office, I was shaking so violently it took two tries to unlock the door.

UPS FAIL

Avon sent my order via UPS, instead of using the regular delivery service.

I found a sticky note on my door telling me it was in the office. I went to the office to retrieve it, and the girl who brought it out had a weird expression, and said, "It came like this..."

One corner was totally covered in rubber, indicating that it had apparently been... run over? Used as traction to get the truck out of a slippery parking spot?

There was also a hole:



Needless to say, some of the product was missing...
