Now look, I normally dislike lots of people anyway. But my general disallusionment is all about ignorance, not evil. I mean, I don't look at the world and generally think people are evil, unethical fuckers. So bad people still shock the hell out of me.
If you haven't read my sister's blog entry from earlier today, I'll just sort of tell you what happened. Kate ordered a present for my poodge from a major online retailer. It was delivered yesterday (unbeknownst to her until this morning), while she was at my mom's house (with me) making cookies. When she arrived at her apartment, she found an OPEN box. The present was gone! Unbelievable, right? I can't believe it. It seems like it can't possibly be true.
Anyway, said major online retailer has agreed to replace it, immediately. Except that the item is backordered until mid-January. I'm sure my dad will understand; that's not the issue. And the exemplary customer service of the online retailer is to be commended. I wish I could tell you what it was, so that you could see that it wasn't something universally exciting--though if you read my sis's blog, she's got another stolen, mailed item story that makes it clear that the thief doesn't really care what's in the package. I mean, really.
Still, what asshole steals xmas presents? What asshole steals? It's something that I wrestle with all the time; I simply cannot understand badness. I can't. I mean, I can understand if someone steals a loaf of bread to feed their three kids, but this wasn't a loaf of bread. It wasn't about necessity. It boggles. Anyway, happy xmas and I hope nothing of yours gets stolen. (And I'll update about the stolen item after we share the picture of the item with my dad, at xmas.)
