The Mick

I'm in midst of a complete DIY renovation.

For the plumbing rough in, I was quoted over $1200 by two diff companies. I watched some youtube vids, bought some Pex tube, sharkbite pieces and a crimp tool. I even added a separate handheld head in the shower with an diverter that I didn't have previously. Entire thing took me about 30 mins and I'd never done it before.

ps - the rough in was simply swapping out the existing valves and adding a handheld head and diverter.

I've been staying away from any websites that use Shop, feels like an F.U. customer service approach.

-need to pay $3 extra for delivery/lost/stolen protection
-if a package is lost, you the buyer need to file a claim about the lost package

Overall, having to find your own lost package when you just paid for shipping and paid extra for lost/stolen protection seems like a real brush off by the seller company.

A nervous young soldier is at the front of the line for gear, but the army has run out of rifles. His CO hands him a broomstick and says, "Just point it at the enemy and yell, 'Bang bang, bangity bang bang!'". He reluctantly agrees since he has no other option. The next morning, the soldier nervously aims his broom at a group of enemies and shouts, "Bang bang, bangity bang bang!" To his amazement, they all drop dead.

That evening, the platoon is getting bayonets fixed for close-quarters combat. Once again, they run out of gear just as the soldier reaches the front. The CO tapes a spoon to the end of his broomstick and instructs him, "If they get close, yell, 'Knife knife, knifety knife knife!'". The next day, it works like a charm. He thrusts his spoon at a charging enemy, yells the phrase, and the man collapses instantly.

Suddenly, a massive enemy soldier starts sprinting directly toward him from a distance. The soldier takes aim and shouts, "Bang bang, bangity bang bang!" Nothing happens. As the giant gets closer, he frantically yells, "Knife knife, knifety knife knife!" but the man doesn't even flinch. The enemy soldier steamrolls right over him, knocking him flat on his back. As our soldier sits up dazed, he hears the giant chanting "Tank tank, tankity tank tank, tank tank tankity tank tank"....

If this is the case, I would like LSU to acknowledge this in some way. I am a reasonable person and will accept this if true and move on, but message board speculation is not a sufficient substitute for stakeholder communication.

Yeah, Im regurgitating what I read a while back. There was a good article about it somewhere, I'll try to find it.

Wade was the scapegoat, so football didn't receive any meaningful infractions.

How often does this happen to you? Have never had a package show as delivered and it not been.

Trend started a couple years ago. I'd say easily more than 50% of my USPS packages get the failed delivery status "no access to delivery address" or similar. Package then shows up a few days later.

It's a game the workers are scamming the managers/ regional managers. They're expected to deliver within x days so instead of actually running their full routes and making all deliveries, they just scan a bunch as delivery attempted while sitting at the station doing jack shite.
