So, I accidentally took home a friend’s shirt with me after we shared a hotel room when going to another friend’s wedding. And I’ve been dragging my heels about sending it back to him, mostly because it just never quite bumps up on my priorities list. And it’s just a t-shirt, so no great loss. At this point, it’s pretty much become a joke between us. I keep telling him that my cat ate my stamps, or that it was all ready to go and then the post office moved, etc.
I’d like to escalate this joke by providing a tracking number for a package that’s not going anywhere remotely near him (Illinois).
The more distant the better.
I suppose there is a very minor chance that he’ll try contacting the shipping company and things could get confusing. I don’t think that’ll happen–I think he’ll see the joke immediately, and I’ll try to write my email so it’s pretty obvious. And even if he did, the package clearly won’t be to him, so the shipper shouldn’t do anything about it–but I want to warn anyone who might otherwise offer up their tracking number that there is a very small risk of some stupidity on that front.
