Oh, Just Get Over It

Too many whiners out there.
From the New York Daily News: UPS workers are scrambling to deliver Santa’s delayed packages on Thursday as customers took to social media to express their frustration.
Extra workers were brought in Christmas night to the company’s hub in Louisville, Ky., to sort through an embarrassing backlog in deliveries. Delayed packages were expected to reach recipients by Thursday or Friday.
"We're terribly sorry," spokeswoman Natalie Black told CNN.
FedEx and the United States Postal Service experienced a higher than normal volume this Christmas, but the organizations claimed service disruptions were minimal.
UPS blamed their delays on bad weather in the Midwest and in Dallas. Black also said that a spike in online purchases this year exceeded the capacity of the UPS transportation network. Plus, the holiday shopping season was shorter than usual this year, which means procrastinators had less time to order gifts....
The apology came too late for Robbie Escalon, a grandmother from Amarillo, Texas. Escalon says she ordered her newly adopted 3-year-old grandson’s Christmas presents on Dec. 11. She was hoping to give him his “first real Christmas” but her expected delivery date was changed to Dec. 27.
“If I ever have a choice for delivery, it will not be UPS,” Escalon said on UPS’s Facebook page. “This time of the year is already stressful and this just made things much worse.”
FedEx also experienced delays, although a company representative claimed service disruptions were “minimal.”

For those who didn't get their deliveries before Christmas, get over it, it's not the end of the world.
And if you want to get your presents on time, go to a box store or plan on buying the items earlier- don't but them just a few days before Christmas.
And stop your damn whining, you look like a bunch of losers.
