Yesterday afternoon UPS was supposed to deliver a large package to the house. We waited and waited, but nothing came. Then we received an email saying it was delivered and left “other” (whatever other is?). So I reviewed my security cameras only to find that the truck came down my side of the street, passed the house and stopped at the corner for a longer than normal time. Then he drove away to the house on the other side and dropped it off there. Never did he come to my door, and he only had to backup 20 feet to my driveway where he could have tossed the box out there.
I had to go retrieve the large box (heavy) and bring it back to my house. I had hand and wrist surgery a while back that is still bothering me. This wasn’t something that made anything better for me to deal with later that evening as I had more pain than normal.
UPS gets an “F” for their failure yesterday. Normally they don’t want to deliver packages to homes here and they’ll hand most of it off to the local postal carriers with the USPS to make the final leg of delivery service.
I can sympathize with any UPS or USPS driver finding a house number.
I have in the past gone batty looking and driving same time with a car riding my bumper.
Best place for an address is to paint the mumber on the curb in front.
The house across the the street was just painted avocado green. It was cloudy and rainy today and didn't look too bad. When the clouds parted, it caused me to feel a bit queasy. I'm going to try to have to not look at that. What were they thinking? I suppose that the shade is called something like forest green. There's a preserved area behind the house. It's avocado and the trim was painted white. Stark white. A creamy off white would have looked better.
I now live across the street from a giant avocado.

I can relate, Gerania! The house next to me was just painted Cat S--- Green.
In my mentioning of painting the house number had that done on the curb at my home decades ago.
City allowed a company permission to do that.
One day noticed a 557 had been painted on the curb on front of my home...sorta nice except that they made a mistake as my number was 577.
So later on a person from the company came by to collect a small fee that the city allowed them to charge.
Told the guy I would not pay since they made a mistake and showed him.
They never came back to redo the number and I did a correction myself.
Decades ago, a couple of college students painted numbers on curbs in Alliance, Ohio and accepted donations to help fund their tuition.
No curbs where I live. When the sewer line went through, the assessment was by lot instead of frontage. This was great, because I have 995' of frontage.

Email says UPS delivered my package on Thur or Fri, digging in UPS handed it off to the USPS and said it was delivered. Hoping it will show up on Mon.
