I remember plenty of 5.25" floppies from the old days, cheerfully folded by mailmen…
Yeah, funny that. They don’t work so hot after being folded.
What she said. If you fail to follow these recommendations and it happens again, you deserve no sympathy.
Who’s the genius that did that? 
The driver who made the pick-up.(not me!) There’s a line on the dispatch form for special instructions that usually are marked on the package along with the tracking number.
And you seem to have a lot of trouble getting laid. Perhaps you need to be less of a bullying bitch?
Edit: This was probably a bit too aggressive, but honestly you should leave Bosda alone and pick on someone your own tiddly size.
Abjectly, I must confess, such techniques can be effective. On more than one occassion, I have been confronted with a demand for sex and have cravenly complied. But I am a spineless wretch with little or no self-esteem. She had her way with me, and that’s all there is to it!
Woe! Woe is me!
Guin may have been referring to this thread. Bosda, did you ever get that loan?
Am I the only one who thinks that lack of “do not bend” on a package shouldn’t be license for it to be destructively crammed into a mailbox? I mean, even a very flexible magazine still has a limit as to how much abuse it can take.
Of course this is just one of a half dozen reasons why we gave up a mailbox and got a mailslot installed instead.
Which means that any package can be delivered with judicious use of a large hammer.
Or a blender. Purees are very easy to feed through a slot.
Apartment building boxes.
BTW–I left a couple of notes.
He has started leaving packages at the office.
BTW-- this is some of Bok’s art
Use hammer or blender to affect delivery…duly noted.
There should be a limit to bending, even without a “do not bend”. However those damnable apartment boxes are trying at best. Unless you remove the mail EACH AND EVERY DAY, AND don’t get too much at one time (think Christmas catalogs…) there is almost no way to deliver with smooshing stuff. (And yes, that is a postal approved term!)
And a pox on the cheap bastard who saved a few cents by not putting a sheet of cardboard in the envelope in first place!
Da’hell did that come from? My comments weren’t meant to be nasty.
I hope they didn’t come off that way. Seriously, Bosda, I hope you didn’t take them that way.
Ever read Post Office, by Charles Bukowski? That’s what you’re dealing with.
My Bok collection was…hard cover.
Wait – dude bent a HARDCOVER book? That’s pretty fucked up. I’d fucking kill.
In the OP you said it was paperback.
Read again.
The binding on the art book was not specified.
