1st off, this is NOT Reddit. Why are you posting this on here?
This doesn't even seem like a human wrote it.
If this is an actual real incident, there is no such thing as a "phantom ring issue." It's simply that you people don't know how to use your Ring.
If you were expecting a package delivery, you would have been aware and paying attention to when the delivery was supposed to arrive. How could you not know someone dropped off a package at your house? So you people were so out of it and in la-la land that you didn't hear someone coming to your door? But you're somehow vigilant and observant enough to see a "UPS car" in the distance?? What the hell is a UPS car? They drive trucks. Not cars. TRUCKS.
And what the hell do you mean your wife noticed the UPS car in the distance? But you didn't hear them pull up to your house?
And what the hell do you mean "We never even looked out the window to see who dropped the package off. (Who cares)" What the hell do you mean "who cares?"
Nothing makes sense in this tall tale.
What difference does living in a rural white area mean? If this actually happened, which I doubt, why did you need to post the photo? Did you contact UPS? Or just focus on Getbig and Imgur as your outlet to complain on? More than likely you wrote those words on the slip.
If you're at home, how oblivious and helpless are you not to hear a delivery? Especially if you're expecting a delivery that day.
Idk, UPS drivers can be unhinged. They are essentially mail carriers with shittier pay and benefits. They are very much prone to 'going postal.'
I worked at UPS for about 2 days. It was the worst job I ever had in my life. And I've had a lot of jobs.
During the scamdemic I had everything delivered to our house- well my wife did- and one evening I heard someone on my porch, right outside my front door. This went on for several minutes and I could hear the noise of the conversation in my living room. Finally I looked out and saw it was the UPS delivery driver standing on my porch talking on his phone. He was complaining about the difficulty of finding an address and he was checking a hand held GPS device. He also had a couple of boxes sitting on my porch.
So, I didn't think much of it.
About 5 minutes later, I still hear him and now he's cursing, loudly. So I open my front door, stick my head out and tell him " hey, you can just drop off the boxes and leave"
He looks at me and says "they're not for your address. What's wrong with you? Do you always take other people's parcels? Sheesh!"
I was so taken back. I was shocked and my temper exploded. I said "well what the fuck are you standing on my porch for for the past 15 fucking minutes? He says "they're for xyz address. Don't you even know where you live?" Then he walked back to his van.
I followed him, cursing him out, calling him an asshole etc... he looks at me, waves and says "have a nice day" then drives off!
I called and lodged a complaint but never heard anything back. Then over the next several months my wife complained to me numerous times how orders never arrived. When she tracked the order she would get a message that the parcels were undeliverable because 'no such address existed' Finally I got ahold of a UPS supervisor and explained that our packages weren't being delivered but our address is CLEARLY visible.
The supervisor set-up the driver. Had a package shipped to our address, tracked his route and the supervisor arrived at my house to surveil the driver about 10 minutes prior to the time of the delivery.
The driver pulls up. Enters some notes into his handheld computer and starts to drive off without delivering the package. The supervisor runs out of my front door and confronts the driver. Basically this guy decided to fuck with me and mark all my packages as 'undeliverable/no such address because of the argument we got into months earlier. The supervisor set him up and caught him red handed. There were 27 packages/deliveries sitting in a UPS warehouse that he was supposed to have delivered.
The supervisor called me a few days later and said the driver had been fired because he had a pattern of doing this, a pattern of complaints and was often rude/antagonistic to homeowners. So it cost him his job. And fuck him. I hope he learned a lesson.
