    I live rural, and have two dogs. Our driver leaves parcels in our garage, and always give the dogs a treat when he comes. They love him! So do I!

    we had a UPS man put our package in the rear of the pick-up, when we were away in the car. He left a note on the door to check pick-up. It was there in such a way, no one saw it from the street. neat huh!

    While working, if I had to "sign" for an item I'd include a silly face..then it dawned on me....someone the the middle of the country would definitely know who signed for it!

    Heck my maillady crammed my new twister ruler into our mailbox today along with 2 other squishees that were quit large...... No thoughtfulnes on that one. She also sat in my driveway a couple weeks ago and honked her horn for me to come out and get packages from her. With my bad back hip and all I had to carry them into the house myself... grrr I want your driver!!! lol

    We used to get a lot of UPS deliveries, the UPS guy said he delivered lots and lots of packages, and never was one for him, it was around Christmas time, my husband said we should package something for him. I do glassware paintings. I painted a decorative plate for him and his wife. I wrapped it in a pretty package and gave it to him. If you really like your UPS guy, make him a pot holder or something small, wrap it up. WALA a package for the UPS guy. He'll remember it forever.
