Today, I was waiting for a delivery between 9am-8pm. At 7:30 pm, I finally decided to have a 3 minute (desperately needed) shower. During which time the delivery man came. I ran down the street in a towel that barely covered me. He was driving away looking at me in the mirror laughing. FML

Yeah, fair enough, OR 1). If I didn't run after the parcel it would have been sent back to the depot (in Bristol!) And would have gone back to America after 1day there! I would have had to pay extortionate posting for it to come back again! 2). Was being picked up at 8 - so yes I absolutely did have to have a shower! 3). If you'd been waiting all day getting restless would you not panic, given that you wouldn't expect out of a 13 hour slot - the parcel comes during the three minute shower you need?! And yes, it is my own stupidity - that's why it's funny, that I clearly have absolutely no common sense...hence the FML! To be honest I'd join FML too if all I had time to do with my day was leave criticisms on other people's jokes. :)

that really sucks, but couldn't you have waited those last 30 minutes too?

Don't they usually leave it in front of your door? Even if you need to sign for it, they'll usually leave one of those notes saying you need to go pick it up, or that they'll be back the next day to deliver it again.

you should have gotten up before 9am to take a shower so there was no chance you would miss him

...what is wrong with your body that you can't go eleven hours without a shower? Is it so rare for you to bathe that you couldn't wait another 30 minutes?

You couldn't just wait another 30 minutes? Or just shower before 9am?

If they say 9 am to 8 pm, and you "desperately" need a shower, shower at 9 am. It will never be there as early as they say.

Much needed shower? If you're just sitting inside then you don't need to shower often.

Why would you wait ALL day, then finally shower with 30 min left?? Kinda your own fault...

The exact same thing happens in an episode of looney tunes.

Somehow I sincerely doubt that the delivery driver was laughing as he drove away.
