Today, I went to the UPS store around the corner from my office here in San Francisco. I don't know if it was her or she's just indicative of people in San Francisco, in general, but I dealt with THE MOST incompetent person ever to work in a UPS store. Here are some examples of what "Tory" did to turn my UPS visit into a 40 minute ordeal, all just to send a package:
-Asked me for the recipient's driver's license number. Umm...how the hell would I know that? I'm returning something to a store, not a person. And who in the world knows your driver's license number by heart? I don't know any of my friends' numbers, not even my own...
-Asked me for mine. Why the hell does she need to know this to send my package? Does she need to see my traffic violations?
-Asked me if I had a girlfriend because she found out that I'm a fairly good cook (I was sending something back to Cooking.com). She said she would never let go of a "cute guy" like me.
-Kept clicking some button on the computer that erased all the info that she entered. She did this twice and she typed SLOW.
-Kept picking up the phone that someone else at the store had placed on hold because the phone kept beeping. I was like, "hello, the phone is beeping because the person is on hold, but NOT FOR YOU."
The manager finally came over and finished my package in about two minutes. I was too nice to really lay it on her, but I was fuming. Well, at least I'm over it now.
Oh my god. I hate incompetence.

I bet you called the UPS headquarters about her...
Damn! I would've grabbed her and beat her up sensely. JUST KIDDING! I always have this thing I do or say to people to make them aware that I don't want their incompetence to rub off on me :) Is that mean? GOD! I'm a bitch!
Hahahaha. She was probably secretly writing down your phone number and other stats, so she can tell her friends she met a cute guy and then swoop in for the kill later this week.
