Be nice to your UPS driver: I knew the weight of what I had ordered, so I zipped outside when I saw the UPS truck. I said "You can set it down *right there* [in my driveway], and I'll get it with my hand truck." He gets points for not setting it down until I said "hand truck" (you know, feasibility), but the sincerity of his THANK YOU astounded me.

I was going to wrangle it inside the house anyway, and I didn't mind starting sooner. I'm glad I could spare his back too.
