Ordered a pack last week and fully expected it to land on tuesday. On my way out the door I see the mail truck and get a big smile on my face. Then I see the mailman, it's a different guy than usual. Slightly unsettling but no big deal. Come home hours later, seriously looking forward to ripping open that envelope and sniffing up some tasty cola but when I open my box all that's there is a delivery notice. "Come pick it up at the post office tomorrow." My stomach drops, my heart races. Everything I've ordered so far has landed in my box no problem and this should be the same. I spend the entire night freaking myself out, but eventually come to a realization. Either I'm fucked now and they are going to come for me eventually, or it was a postal error and everything is fine. And if it's just a postal error, and I don't go pick up my envelope it will get opened and BOOM! Drugs! With my name on the front. So I sacked up and decided I would have to go and pick it up. I clean house before I go, write down my friends cell number in case I need someone to come bail me out, and set off.
In line at the post office, boring people making boring conversation. I'm trying to keep my cool. I'm just one of these regular boring people as well. Glancing off to my left I notice a man. Could easily be LE. Has that look about him. My palms start to sweat, my nerves are fucking shot, and its my turn to talk to the postal lady. I show my ID. She smiles and disappears into the room behind her. I'm about 5 seconds away from just straight out booking it. Keep glancing over at my potential LE buddy 5 feet away from me, looking at ugly childrens glasses. Then she comes back. She hands me my envelope. I walk away slowly, expecting the worse. Then I'm in my car. Then I'm at my house. And now I'm sitting in front of my computer with my headphones, listening to great fucking music, and sniffing great fucking cola. All is well.
TL;DR Having to go pick up your package at the post office isn't the end of the world. And I'm high on drugs. :)
Glad everything worked out man! People are getting wayyyy too sketched out over simple post office pick up notes lol.
