Parcel pick up story

[RG]

oh man ... now I have a habit of giving people nicnames when I don't know their real names. Well, this one crazy-ish lady that always sells stuff at the monthly flea market in salem I gave the name Cat****Lady. She smells so nasty, and she's dumber than dumb.

One day I was talking to some guy and I go oh the cat****lady isn't here, and he looked at me funny and then started laughing, since he didn't know who I was talking about then it sunk in ... and he said "man you sure have the right name for her ... she really smells like some rotten cat pee"

makes you wish YOu could spray people with some kind of cleaner when you get a wiff of that nasty smell

I work with a woman who had a head trauma as a kid and is "nose deaf" ... she says she's often burning her dinner, if she cooks at all, and has her husband help her out to make sure she's not wearing too much/not enough fragrance/perfume before leaving the house.

I hear this is also common issue at Gaming Stores, Ren Fairs and Burning Man.

I used to work at a game store, and boy is that ever true! It's also very prevalent at any kind of toy/comic book convention.

I hate getting stinky stuff in the mail!
I still have that stinky Batman I rcvd about 6 months ago.
I have tried everything to get the damp basement smell out to no avail.
People should be ashamed to lay this problem on others.

I wish our PO was in a drug store, the hours would be better.

Haha serves him right for breathing down your neck

Yesterday I had a really freaky parcel incident. I've had a parcel on the lam for a while and it was causing me anxiety. Last night around 8, somebody knocked on my door and my son said "it's the parcel lady!"

It turns out it was a former co-worker of mine, her street name rhymes with mine and she had the same house number so they dropped the packages to her. It was an unreal and lucky coincidence.

You can always unload it on eBay as a RARE and HTF varriant. Just don't forget to attach a ridiculous price tag to it and it should sell like hot cakes. LOL!!

Seriously though that really sucks that someone would even bother to send you something like that to begin with.

Wow! You did get lucky on that deal. Thank goodness that all worked out well. That is a definitely a very rare and fortune incident to say the least.

Tell me about it, in the best case scenario, the person would have taken them to the post office and I'd have stressed for another week. Worst case, they'd have kept the stuff.

Hav you tried those little scented towel things you normally put in your drier to give clothes a clean smell?
They work wonders on action figures that were previously owned by smokers.
Put that with the figure in a plastic bag, let that in there for a day or two, and Bats might come out smelling like roses!
Nothing like nicely scented vigilante....

Worst case (for them) would have been if I had to drive to Canada to get the item back from whomever was trying to keep it from you

You left out Comic-Cons. SDCC probably being the worst...

[mightyquinn]

The bus that goes into town has a regular I like to call "Stinky Guy".
No matter how crowded that bus is, always plenty of seating around SG, I can tell you....
He once sat down next to me, and the bus was so crowded, I had no escape route.
I sat with my hand covering my mouth and nose for 45 minutes.
When I came home, the dog smelled my clothes and went "Wow! Greatest gift ever! Clothes with Crap Smell!!!!"

Priceless!!!
Come back to reality people........Clean yourself.......... Wear deodorant..........Make others around you happy.

[LadyZod]

I'm rather short. 5'3" to be exact.

That makes me the perfect nose height for armpits at crowded comic shows.

There are many times I walk right into the wall of stink that I grimace, and my husband will look at me and ask if I'm ok.

My sister is not as tactful when it comes to the chronically stinky. She makes no faces, she just says in her loudest outdoor voice, "Who's the one that smell like ****? Is it you? Or is it you? Soap and Water people! I didn't leave my house to smell you."
