Freakin' UPS

#1

Post by gac »

So, I order the freakin' Mule Team knife on Thursday evening. The store promptly ships the freakin' knife on Friday. Then UP-freakin'-S has had the freakin' knife sitting in Commerce freakin' City, Colorado since the 11th. My hope is that the knife somehow missed a freakin' scan and is driving through Iowa or Illinois right now.

Dang it! I want the freakin' knife! At least my Native from WalMart is due to be delivered today.

Freakin'!

That freakin' crazy. It sucks waiting on knives to arrive. UPS is pretty freakin' good, though.

UPS had scheduled my delivery for tomorrow, but I just checked, and the package is out for delivery today. Un-freakin-believable! :D

Freakin' right. I just double-freakin'-checked on the UPS website and the freakin' knife is still sitting in the UPS depot.

But, my Native came today and that thing is freakin' nice. It will be good to have a shorter freakin' blade than my Endura. I immediately got my knife freak on with the freakin' WalMart box it shipped in.

I have found, that if you have anything shipped from the "outlining" areas of the North Central plains or Rocky Mts. (Like WY, MT, UT, ID)... You might as well tell them to put it in a box and let the wind blow it to you... You will get it quicker than UPS will from any of those locations.

That being said, I hope you get your freakin' knife soon dude...

I can remember a time when I threatened to wash the kids mouth out for using that word! Maybe I'm just getting old but it just seems like a young persons way of using the "F" word. :confused:

this thread is freakin' hilarious. As a Canadian, I would never purchase a freaking knife that is shipped with the freaking UPS, they usually over charge the freakin custom, freaking brokeage fee, at a freaking 150% of the original freaking cost of the knife itself. USPS is the way to go for me. :D

Freakin' wow man. I'm freakin' glad you didn't freakin' go postal waiting for your freakin' knife. I think you need to freakin' chill out and get ready to freakin' enjoy your freakin' knife.

Have a freakin' good day man.

Freakin' later bro.

11 = amount of times I used the word "freakin'" in this post.

I'm just pullin' your freakin' leg man. I couldn't resist. :D

While I agree about the "F" word, I don't consider "freakin" to be anything close to the four letter "F" word.

I do agree however that I hear teens using the "F" word all over the place. Even girls do it. I have been out with my wife and girl I have had to tell these kids to "watch their mouth please because there is a 4 year old girl here and my wife and it's just not cool". They always say "sorry man" and then they shut up.

I think this is the first confirmed use of the word "dork" since 1984... :D

I point that out in love. ;)

Now can someone get me a freakin' peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

Starbuck would use a different word ;)

I saw a Q & A video clip with Mary McDonnell on the BSG site, where she said her kids got on her case for saying "frak" around the house.

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.
