The original banana before humans changed it. Nuff said.
Back to topic, I have a rant I would like to vent out.
So, two years ago a good friend of mine in the States wanted to send me a birthday/Christmas combo gift (BD is Jan 3rd) but he never had the chance because of financial difficulties. A year ago, he tried again. This time the package came back 2 months later, soaked and its contents smashed and destroyed. According to the American post service, "it wasn't valuable enough" to give him a refund. Ridiculous if you ask me - you break, you buy.
And this year, he tried once more. Packing it carefully and protectively, sent in January to avoid the Christmas mess and he was told it would arrive in two weeks.
Alas.
One week later, the mailman brought it back, said he had to arrange a special pickup, which he can't afford because it means a trip to the office and more money, when he's already spent a small fortune trying to wrap the darn thing up properly so it won't get broken again.
So why the
juicy curse words is it so hard to send a package??
