Default Usps vs

so i went to the post office to ship something out today... i looked at the flat rate boxes and i saw my perfect box... i placed in the parts i was shipping, stuffed in a little newspaper so the part wouldnt move around. I get the lady up there to tape it up... everythings good. so i get called up to pay get it weighed and to pay... ive been shipping out a ton of parts in flat rate boxes, and i liked watching how much i saved by using flat rate shipping. so i see it pop up thinking sweet this is the small 10.95 box... good save cause by weight it was going to be 14.95. so he rings it up and it doesnt change... IT WAS NOT A FLAT RATE BOX. it was half the size of the flat rate box i was planning on using, i thought i was doing good by getting a smaller box and packing it better. if the line wasnt as long i would have went and grabbed the 10.95 box tossed it in and had them retape it. that sure would show uncle sam where to stick it!!!!

This might take the cake for "Retarded threads that get posted in SR&K but have absolutely zero relevance to street racing."

Nice death

Get the "reading comprehension" mod from Texas Speed before next time and you'll show those short wearing bag toters who's boss.




Seriously WTF is this and why is it here? This isn't even good enough for lounge fodder.

Just because your a dumbass doesn't mean you have to be an ******* too. This isn't a street race or kill story. Its about you grabbing the wrong damn box and bitching about it. You should of posted in the I did something stupid and paid for it section. Its right under the go **** yourself section. Have a nice day.

I wouldn't have made the mistake in the first place, so I wouldn't have needed to make a totally pointless thread about my own stupidity.

Manalshi saved the thread, at least if that was possible.

Can we at least throw an infraction out for this one? He knew it was the wrong section and posted anyway.

I wouldn't. But for your future needs to tell internet readers about your stupidity: twitter, FML.com, or facebook should do nicely.
