Another flashback (what is it with me and flashbacks lately?!). When I became a mod for Scarface on the Sierra/Vivendi forums, they shipped the game to me before release, so I could try it out (back then they actually still gave the mods the games they moderated for free, imagine that...). I was at work and got this phone call from a Fedex dude.Tawmis wrote:Just randomly on the front door? Like, "Surprise! Look at me!"cpages2 wrote:Just got home and this was at the front door.

I was at work and got this phone call from a Fedex dude.
Fedex dude: "Hello mr. Marchant, I have a delivery, but it doesn't fit in your mailbox. Mind if I put it at your front door?" (in an apartment block that is)
Me: "Nooooo!!! Anybody who sees it might just take it away, man."
Fedex dude: "Hmmm... err... ok... how about in the closet next to your door?" (a closet with the gas meters for all apartments, something NOBODY would look into)
Me: "No way man. There's no lock on that closet! Somebody just might look in it, see the box and take it!"
Fedex dude: "Eh... ok... where do you want me to put it then?"
Me: "Well... my car is in the garage in the basement. A black Fiat, just when you exit the basement door. It's unlocked (yeah...), so could you put it in there?"
Fedex dude: "Eh... ok.."
(signal drops away)
(phonecall back)
Fedex dude: "The signal dropped when I entered the basement, but I put it in the black Fiat. That ok?"
Me: "Awesome!"
(click)
Sure enough, he actually put it in my car in the basement garage.
Really happened. I still feel sorry for that guy...
