So last week I ordered some new earplugs for concerts, bandpractice and such, and they have failed to arrive. I’m a pretty patient dude so I wait for a couple of days thinking it’s just taking a bit longer.
Browsing through my mail I find out that they have apparently been delivered days ago.
Now the earplugs I ordered were clear, but I highly doubt they are invisible. No card was left in the mailbox, no “hey we delivered it at your neighbor’s place even though you were home…” Checking the track and trace says it was delivered yet they are not.
I try not to assume malice, but I’m pretty peeved about this, and it has got me wondering what your experiences are with goods that have mysteriously vanished upon delivery?
Financially you got ahead on the bike, but do you think the insurance claim, emotional toll, time without a bike, etc. was worth the improvement for the new bike? It seems easy for someone who has never been a victim of theft to just look at the numbers and assume that person is better off. How do you feel about your bike situation?
Fuck no. I’m still mad about it, my skills degraded in the months it took me get it all sorted out. I feel like I have to watch my bike like a hawk now. Got three separate alarm systems/trackers on it. And I still miss my old bike. I put a lot of TLC into it, and all that kinda feels wasted in retrospect. Makes me glad I procrastinated on some of the maintenance though, lol. Was going to replace the brake fluid but decided to wait a bit.
