Express Post - Oops!
I've done some dumb things in my life (I can't even begin to list them all, there's not enough paper in the world), but this took the cake. It happened last weekend.
I'd watched this DVD, which turned out not to be as good as some films I've watched, nor as bad as others, and as it featured robots and lots of blowing up, I thought my brother just might like it. So, being a lovely Saturday morning, I took the 20 minute walk to the little newsagent come post office and posted it express post, just so he'd get it quick. Then the 20 minute walk back home.
Feeling supremely self-satisfied - walkies and good deed all in one hit, you know? - I proceeded to ready myself for The Walking Dead season 6 DVD marathon back-to-back weekend I had planned, complete with garlic & cheese pizza.
This would have gone well, except when I went to put the first disc in I found another disc sitting in there. On closer inspection, I found that it was the disc that belonged to the cover I'd just express posted to my brother.
Yes, people, I express posted the EMPTY DVD COVER to my brother!
This morning Mum express posted the DVD itself. I think he'll find it much more interesting than just the cover!
The freakin' postage cost more than the )&%@! DVD!
I rang my brother to warn him he'd get the empty cover first, followed by the DVD - he laughed like a hyena. His sympathy warmed the cockles of my heart, it really did...
