Six years ago, my wife left her glasses in a hotel room. The next occupant found them. From her name and phone number tag inside the glass case, the guy that found them called her and offered to send them to her. She agreed to reimburse any expense. Well, guess what? They showed up this week --- 6 years later -- with the following note enclosed, "Here are your glasses, dipsh!t. Hope you haven't needed them." NO SIGNATURE. We do have a return address though. I am conflicted. It's the holiday season and part of me says to "just forget it." But there's another part of me that wants to rise up and just come back with the most perfect sarcastic retort in recorded human history. Problem is, I don't think I'm up to it. I need your help. Please come up with something really poisonous or try and talk me out of it due to holiday cheer.
The guy sounds like a nutcase. Someone who keeps the glasses for SIX years, then finally returns them with a nasty note? That ain't right.
lol The return address is probably phony. The guy is probably trying to goad you into mailing his ex a nice fecal.
Wrap the package back up and put a return to sender, no such resident sticker on it. One, if it actually goes back to him, he'll feel like an idiot. Two, I'd be freaking out if some pyscho stranger was mailing me packages 6 years later. If you send it back with RTS, maybe he'll think you moved.
Call the IRS and turn him for cheating on his taxes, anonymously Tell them specifically that this person boasted that he/she has never paid what they owed
let it go. guy sounds like a psycho and he knows where you live. you don't know the legitmacy of the return address, so you may not know if he lives there. just forget it and move on.
Yeah, be careful. If that is a fake return address, you could be inadvertantly messing with some innocent person. Who knows? He may have put the address of his ex or an old boss he hates or something.
Anyone who has ever experienced this punishment can tell you the truth: that guy would never mail eyeglasses to someone six years after finding them again. I mean, never! All he would do is grow some bangs and stay indoors during daylight hours.
Let it go. I mean, the fact is, that's pretty damn funny. I actually haven't laughed that hard at a post in a while. No way is that address the address of the person who sent it. Did you check to see if the postmark matches the city on the return address? Sorry giddyup...but, with all due respect, that is really funny.
I get the feeling that whomever returned the glasses is not the person who originally found them. My theory is that the caller who found them never got around to sending them. Six years later, when moving (or cleaning out that junk drawer in the kitchen with all the rolls of tape and markers with no ink), he found the glasses and threw them away. Then, either the trash man or some dumpster diver found them and sent them with a phony address.
That's one of the strangest things I've heard, and kind of scary, actually. I would do absolutely nothing. This person doesn't sound "right."
Remember that my wife actually had a phone conversation with the guy six years ago when he indicated that he would send the glasses. The return address is an apartment number, so I can't really look it up. It's across the country. I'll probably just let it go, but that "dipsh!t" designation is really getting under my skin.... And the no signature feature. What kind of coward/pervert? Well thanks to all with the clever ideas and the cooler heads alike. It could have gone either way. Have a great day, turkey.... oops, I mean a great Turkey Day!
giddy, I am not sure but I thought you are a Christian, right? If you are then you know that one of the hardest things for Christians to do is to love their enemies as well as turn the other cheek. Now, I am not saying this guy is your enemy, but obviously, he is trying to get under your skin (and it seems to be working). But if you are a Christian (and I thought you are), this would be a good time to test your faith. Oh and like others said, I think you are inviting trouble if you decide to respond back. Too many weirdos out there, now a days.
I think it would be hilarious if you simply sent him a $10 bill or somethin with a note that said: "thanks for sending the glasses, my wife crashed the next day because of her blurry vision and died, but now i have these to remember her by, thank you very much, sincerely, ________". You can leave out the crash part if you want and just sincerely thank him for returning them and give him the money to cover his shipping costs. Damn, that guy would feel like a fool AND you'd show yourself to be the better man.
you could still put a turd in there with the $10 bill maybe. ... you could say that it's your dead wife's turd. ...
