mousmeDear Asshat Messenger-Guy,
Being polite will not kill you. Cross my heart. Coming in and throwing an envelope at me, especially after I've already smiled and said "Good day" to you, is not going to endear you to me. Nor will badgering me while I do my job and make sure the aforementioned envelope really belongs to this department. Especially not saying "Hello!" after waiting less than two seconds for me to answer your (rudely-put) question concerning my last name.
I don't care that you've been delivering envelopes from that company to the same person here since yesterday. Really, I don't give a rat's ass. Do you know how many messengers we get here every day? Between thirty and forty. Many of you messengers are poor lost souls who only think you're supposed to be here, when in reality you're supposed to be elsewhere. If I sign for an envelope that doesn't belong to us, I automatically become liable for everything that's in it. Therefore, I will in fact gleefully take up ten extra seconds of your time to check the name and address on the envelope before claiming it.
In conclusion, dickhead, let me do my job. Don't argue with me. Don't be rude with me. In fact, don't cross me in any way, shape or form, and maybe next time I won't give you a tongue-lashing.
Yours very truly and with no love whatsoever,
The Pissed-Off Receptionist
