Actually, I’m in BC and the guy just dropped my computer off at the door and left.

This happens to me constantly at work. The phone doesn’t ring for three hours, and when I run to the bathroom, I come back and have two messages.

Hello captain observant! I’m wondering how much time you spent looking for “teh” in Teh_Juggernaut’s post

It doesn’t matter when the UPS guy shows up really, unless your neighborhood is known for theft. Because UPS doesn’t require signatures upon delivery. Fed-Ex and Priority mail do. So the UPS guy would ring the bell once, knock, then drop off the package and leave. If you’re in the shower during that time then just go open the door and get the package; it will still be there when you get out, unless like I mentioned earlier, your neighborhood is unsafe.

okay, now THIS is a good graph! finally… it’s been pretty lame for a while here…

Actually, seeing as how the y-axis on this is percents, it pretty much is formatted to easily be put into a pie chart. While he may only show up once at a time, the UPS guy/girl shows up to many houses a day, and over a year may even show up to your house multiple times. So, the “whole” here would all the times he comes to your house, or a house in general. So, maybe stop getting all uppity when you’re wrong.

while my sample population for testing this was small (one person), the results were overwhelmingly consistent with the data shown here.

thankfully the next day he did the responsible thing and just dumped my $500 package on the porch.

You are made of fail. How would a pie chart make this better? A pie chart is best used when representing parts of a whole. The UPS guy rings your doorbell once and then leaves, not several times throughout the day. Why is it that nobody on Graph Jam knows how to properly use a pie chart? Is it because the pie chart is the default on the graph builder and people are lazy?

the trick is not to focus so much on the crotchal area when soaping…

Working for UPS…

Likelyhood of, during a 120 stop day, your receiver, to whom you’ve driven 8 miles off your route to get to, is actually anywhere in the vacinity: .01%

Well, step 4 is more complicated then you make it sound. depending on the facilities, of course.

By: Kurt

Kurt — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:43:18 +0000

Step 1: Gather clothing for departure of shower. Step 2: Enter bathroom. Step 3: Ready a towel upon departure of shower and gather bathing tools. Step 4: Turn shower on to desired temperature and enter the shower. Step 5: Stand underneath the head of the shower. Step 6: Place a dime-sized amount of shampoo on palm (10 secs). Run through hair (45 secs). Step 7: Run the soap (or soaped washcloth) over your body (1 min.). Step 8: Rinse your hair under the water while still washing self with soap (2 min). Step 9: Let water take off soap scum (30 secs.) Step 10: Leave shower and towel dry (30 secs).
Getting dressed requires a little more time, not to mention the time used to prepare, and including conditioner or other bathing products adds time but you get the feel of things. I gave you ten seconds to put shampoo on your hand so that you can find the shampoo underneath all the dead bodies in the tub/stall.

How do people take 5 minute showers? There’s no way you can get clean in that amount of time. I hear “5 minute shower” all the time and I’ve never understood how it’s possible.

In Canada, what happens is they leave if you’re not there for the signature in <10 seconds. Even if you have a sticker that says you don’t need to sign for it.

By: PJ

PJ — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:20:05 +0000

Ha, this is me tomorrow when the cable guy is supposed to come ‘between 8 and 12.’

But UPS guys never wait for a signature, even if they’re dropping something expensive off, letting it sit IN THE RAIN on your porch for hours until someone arrives home. Not that that’s ever happened to me. (GRRRRR.)

By: Faetal

Faetal — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:15:41 +0000

same goes for cable guy, phone guy, and any other “I’ll be there between 9am-4pm” type a-hole.

better as a pie chart, IMHO. but very very true nonetheless.
