See, I'm assuming he's a man. Actually, I'm assuming he exists at all.
I get packages. I get them from UPS. I find them right outside my door.
I hear someone coming up the steps. I hear a package get set down. I bolt for my door. There's a knock even as I turn the handle, then curse because I didn't unlock it. I look out the peephole--nothing.
I run to the window.
No one.
In fact, I have never seen my UPS man. Or woman.
Or whatever. Robot?
Whoever he is, he's a master at knock and run.

I live in an apartment complex, so they don't give me my packages if I don't sign for them. I know the UPS guy very well.

If you want to meet him, you can call UPS and request that packages not be left without a signature. But then you run the risk of not getting packages when you're not home.

That reminds of a funny story about the UPS man where I used to live.
When my daughter was born, a lot of people sent us baby presents by UPS. One day, I answered the door to receive a package.
The UPS man looked at me and said, "You used to live on A St. Then you got married and live on B street." At this time, I lived at neither of those locations. All I could say was, "You've got some memory!"
Of course, that was years and years ago. The only time I have seen my UPS delivery person in recent years was when the last Harry Potter book came out. My daughter had received hers earlier that day by Fedex (and that was a hit and run delivery, by the way). I had opted for "super saver" shipping and wasn't expecting mine till later the next week. When I came to the door and saw what the UPS woman was holding, she must have been amazed to see a grown woman jumping up and down in excitement. Posts: 5771 | Registered: Nov 2000

We know our UPS guy. And he knows our dogs. We used to have one that, unless care was taken, would immediately beeline for his truck and jump inside.
He always gave them biscuits, which might have had something to do with it...
