I decided a week or so ago to order my dads birthday present online. For the guy who has everything, the one thing he doesn't have; a butt. Yep, I ordered him a fake rubber costume butt as a joke. I decided to assert myself a bit, and used my chosen name to have it delivered to me. I am so glad it was just a rubber butt.
They never knocked on my door. Instead I got a slip in the mail to pick it up at the post office. I'll never see that butt. At least, not until I get my name legally changed. They wont let me pick it up unless I have an ID with that name on it. Sooooooo, I get to buy my dad something else. He'll get the butt another time lol

I posted my stupidity for others to laugh at, and learn from. I know lots of guys like to use their chosen name to have things delivered- learn from my mistake. I'm just glad it only cost me $12.

thanks that gave a good little giggle

dont ask why but this part made me giggle thanks

If you don't mind my asking, where do you live?  I had stuff mailed to me (letters and packages) with my chosen name before I had it legally changed. 

And that is really funny lol  I hope you're able to find something as equally funny for him. 

You should be able to arrange for them to redeliver it when you're in.

who dosen't want a butt for there birthday?

That's weird, in the UK you can collect it whatever the name, so long as they have a record of who it was who picked it up. I'm sorry that your dad doesn't get that butt. Why not get him another butt, and then at a later date he can have two butts?

Hi.

Well i get mail sent to me from around the world & never had that. we just sign our name if its regersted all other mail  no probs ...id ...never used that ,

Have you changed your last name .

...noeleena...

See, thats the thing, I *was* home, and they never tried to deliver it. I instead got a slip in the mail (different from when they miss you, it was a brown-orange color; brorange if you will, and was put in my mailbox, about 50 feet from my door)
theyre holding my rubber butt ransom for proof of my trans existance! >.> hahahahaha jk
no my post office sucks though. They lost a bunch of my gas bills too. either that or my mailman has a vendetta towards me. I like to imagine hes a diabolical villain slowly extracting his revenge by not giving me my mail.
V-haha! Try paying *this* bill you twit! I'll have you yet!! (Crumples mail and stomps into puddle while cackling maniacally. Lightning crashes in the distance.)
Me-*pays bill online when it doesnt come in the mail*

I never said he was a very skilled villain.

Hahaha, well, at least you can have a sense of humor about it! Though, I suppose when it's a butt in the mail it's hard not to...

Anyways, just wanted to let you know that we get things like that happening with us for our mail as well, so you're not alone. We've had several packages we were expecting and so had someone sitting around where they can hear the door and there is never a knock or a ring or anything, then we'll find that slip of paper saying to pick it up when they could have easily delivered it. The real kicker: we get the slip stuck to our door more often than not, so they were right there and give us the slip rather than knock to see if anyone is home.
