Appropriate response

Looking for some AH wisdom. I work in a large industrial estate with a few very similarly named business parks in it. I occasionally have to get packages delivered to work.

Every single package has been delivered to the wrong address (same unit number, different business park). That's OK, it's not a big deal to walk one business park over & collect my stuff.

The problem is the staff in that company keep opening the packages! I've checked and there's no one there with the same name. I'm completely fed up now. Looking for inspiration to get back at them.

I'm strongly considering sh**ting in a box & having it posted to them. What say ye?

Shít in a box and send it to them accompanied with a picture of you riding all their wives simultaneously. That'll learn 'em

Yeah that won't work, I don't work in their building to take the bog roll out!

Yes, send something really nice and smeely. Ideally in a candy wrapping

Isnt opening someone elses mail a criminal offence?

Everytime that it happens, sneak over first thing the next morning and let the air out of each of their car tyres.

When days when they don't open stuff, miraculously their car tyres are ok.

They'll make the connection after a while.

Once you don't **** in it

They probably think it's for them even if the name is wrong. Speak to whoever delivers mail in your area instead.

AH response: have some spiders mailed next time.

Probably, can't imagine the gaurds caring enough if I made a complaint though.

It's been two different courier companies who haven't been aware they made wrong deliveries even after I rang up looking for my stuff. The response from a drive in a fairly big courier company beginning with N & ending in E was "sure they have your (several hundred euro item), walk around and get it"

You do realise that the one package you send to them, will arrive with you, right?

So far the best idea probably - you will know who is the main criminal.

That's my fear! But I've pieced enough names of signatures now to just post it to them directly

Sure, you could wimp out and use a horse's head.

No, no, it has to be addressed to you so that the enclosed note reading "STOP OPENING MY ****ING POST" makes sense.

No notes, just a random s**te

I thought the objective was to teach them a lesson. If we're just going for random terror I second the severed head idea.

shitter bomb. it's like a glitter bomb but you eat the glitter first

I was hoping being horrified by a random poo would get the point across about opening other peoples post.

punisher5112

I would get yourself into a box and get you delivered.

Would love to see their faces.

Won't work if you address it to them though.

A valid point, I just really don't want a s**t turning up on my desk

To be honest I would complain to An post or the courier company that keeps delivering the items to the incorrect address first.

But if you're sending it won't you recognise your handwriting? As far as I know you can't order faeces off the internet.

I ain't got no time to be reading names on boxes. If I get a package, I open it. 99% of the time, it's for me or my wife. Either way, it's supposed to be opened.

Your problem is with An Post/DHL/UPS/etc who can't be arsed to do their job properly. Delivering your package is their job. You shouldn't be running around to other places tracking down your package. You shouldn't expect other people to kindly store your packages until you have a chance to go and pick them up either. Sure, a lot of nice people will, but not everyone is nice.

Appropriate responses:
1.) Call up the delivery company
2.) Write a letter to the delivery company
3.) Stop using the delivery company

Same here, if you get a lot of mail, no one stares at the addresses to make sure they are correct, you just open everything.

It's not the fault of the staff in the other business at all, it is entirely down to the delivery company, an Post or a courier.

The worst thing I think you can send, genuinely, is glitter. Pack an envelope full of it in between a blank sheet folded as a letter. Really pisses people off.

He eats more than a dog. I love his big fat ass though.

It's at this point someone should point out that you aren't allowed post live animals, larger than bees.

So post bees!

Actually, post wasps.. We need bees, we like bees!

I also am in favour of the glitter idea!

Other answer: They probably should look at the name/address and not open it but if they're a company who get a lot in all the time they're probably just as annoyed at having to receive your mail.
