On a semi-related note...USPS sucks.

I bought a new (old) 'Vette last month. The hood struts needed to be replaced so I ordered some new ones. Seller sent them out via USPS. I watched the tracking info as they went from Illinois to Arizona's sorting facility (2 hours from my house, so about a day's journey, typically)...and then 5 days later they went back to Illinois! Contacted the seller through Amazon and they informed me the product had been returned to them for some lame reason. Sent it back out to me 10 days ago, and I still haven't received them. I know this is a hectic time of year, so not TOO concerned about it being 10 days with no package, yet, but the history of this item does give me pause that maybe USPS screwed up again...

But yes, people can be idiots, and this time of year really seems to bring out the worst of them. My wife's a manager at a retail store (Bath & Body Works), and she's very much looking for the holiday season to end. Not a day goes by that she doesn't come home *****ing about how nasty people are this time of year.
