The Case of the Missing Wine

[DGuller]

If Otto knew the old guy's address, but couldn't find his phone number, why not send him a note by US mail?

A: the price of a stamp is unreasonable to expend on fixing FedEx's mistake.

(and it would mean he couldn't drink the wine himself)

[garbon]

Thanks. That's insane though, doesn't FedEx protect the privacy of the public at all?

People's addresses are printed in the phone book.  The fact that Hiram von Biscuit lives at 2001 Coonkiller Lane is not shielded by the right to privacy.

Besides it would be weird if FedEx wouldn't admit to where they dropped off a package that went to the wrong place...

Yeah, Otto shouldn't have to spend 49 cents to be denied a right to drink free wine!

Can't we all agree Otto is worse than Hitler?

No, as stealing wine isn't at all comparable to mass executions, Marti.

[Ed Anger]

HEY NOW. That is my title.

[DGuller]

I'm not sure.  Otto is a very bad person, no doubt, and what he did is beyond the pale, but it's not like Hitler was a saint either.

[DontSayBanana]

HEY NOW. That is my title.

No, no, no... you're "LITERALLY worse than Hitler."

Otto's just "worse than Hitler."

Besides, Hitler didn't drink much, so he probably wouldn't have stolen the wine.

I would be pretty fucking upset if a company gave out my name and address to their customers.

[garbon]

Who said they gave out the name? And again, I don't see why it would be a secret for them to tell where they had left a package.

Even if they didn't give the Otto's name out? To be honest, I don't see how saying "we dropped your wine at address X" constitutes giving out your address to someone. Personal data is only relevant if it is connected to other personal data (e.g. "A lives at address X"). Simply naming your address without any reference to your other personal data is not in any way problematic, imo.

[Gups]

I would have poured it out in front of the old man. Then gave him 10 seconds to get off my property. That is how you deal with plebs.

Take a sip first. Spit it out in disgust Tell him the wine is impertinent and that while he might well be the kind of imbecile  amused by its rustic pretensions, you most certainly are not. Then the above but aim a kick at his arse on the way out.

Is this Asperger central? Oh right, I'm on Languish.
