Nobody asked you, UPS driver

Today I was walking over the the local UPS store to drop off a package I was sending out (something we sold, nothing exciting like a gift) and it already had a label that I printed at home. The place closes at 4 and it was like 3:55 when I arrived. Outside there was a UPS driver who had just pulled up to, I assume, pick up the day's packages. He saw me and here's what happened:

UPS Driver: "Well, you waited a long time." (said in a disapproving tone)

Me: ignoring him, walking into the store

Driver: "Next Day Air, too? You waited a really long time!" (even more disapprovingly)

Me: ignoring him and handing my package to the guy working the counter "Here you go, it's all set. Thanks."

Hey, Mr. Overconcerned Driver, guess what? Did I make the dropoff time? Yes. Did I interefere with your ability to do your job? No.

Do I know you?

Then keep it to yourself. Nobody needs your incredibly useless commentary. Just deliver my package.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
