I was ordering something and the parcel got missing, so I got all worked up and angry – and then I remembered this story, which puts my one single missing parcel into perspective. 🤦 „Schlimmer geht’s immer …“

@movq It's nice to see ~10w old yarns rekindled 😅 I can't wait to have builtin Search so this becomes more of a thing 😂~

@movq Nanana, ordering something is counterproductive if you try to own less. Yeah, this really sucks. :'-( Is the parcel really lost or is there a chance that it is just delayed?
@lyse It’s lost. Nobody knows where it is. 🤦 It was new glasses, btw, can’t avoid that. 🤓 It’s not a big drama, I contacted the shop and they re-issued the order. It mostly just cost a lot of time.

@movq Hmm, too bad. If they just reship it, it's not a big deal, indeed. Hope you have better luck with the second attempt. :-)
Lol, now this turned out to be a ridiculous story.
A month ago, I went into the shop to buy new glasses. At the end, the sales person asked me: “Should we send it directly to your home, so you don’t have to come in again?” I said yes. Because, you know, Covid and all. So the process looks like this: Go to the shop, pick a model, they fit it to your head, then they send that particular piece to their factory where they make the actual glasses/lenses, and then the final thing gets sent to your home.
But since our postal service screwed up, that parcel never arrived at my place. So I re-ordered.
Yesterday I got a call from the shop: “Your glasses have arrived!” Cool, I went to pick them up.
The girl in the shop was a bit confused, though, because … it was the original parcel. The one that got lost.
So, our postal service failed to deliver that thing to my home (twice, they said), then failed to deliver it to our local post office (I went there three times trying to pick it up, because they originally claimed that it’s there), then screwed up the package tracking (I called the postal service hotline – which took forever, fucking voice menus – and they had no idea where it was), but then they somehow were able to execute “return to sender” so it got delivered to the shop.
Remember, the original idea was that they send it to my home, so I won’t have to come to the shop pick it up. That plan failed spectacularly. 🤣🤦

@movq Holy shit, what a plot twist! I didn't see that coming. Not at all. Any TV show writer masterminding such a story would have been instantly fired. :-D Congratulations to your new glasses, though! How's the world looking now? So do you have two sets of glasses then?
@movq that is indeed, a very bad postal service, I hope you don't pay to much in taxes for that service.

OMG. But in the end everything went fine and you have your new shiny glasses now. So you can see clear now! :-)
No, just one set of glasses. The shop cancelled the second order as soon as the mysterious package arrived. 🥴 (Would have been very funny if I ended up having two sets. What would have happened? Would I have been forced to return one pair? Why, what are they going to do with it? Would I have been forced to pay for it? 🤷 Maybe I’ll find out next time. 🤣)
The world looks very weird now. It’s not a good idea to change glasses mid-day. We’ll see tomorrow. 🤓
And there’s a slight blue shimmer … Must have something to do with this fancy modern coating. 🤷

@movq Oh, I see. Glad they noticed it in time, but having a spare pair isn't the worst thing to have. :-) But fear not, the blueish cast is just from the beautiful blue sky! Are you already acclimated? :-)
@lyse Pretty much acclimated, yeah.
The sky? Every time I look at the sky, it’s black. 🌃⭐

Very good, @movq Well, you're looking at the wrong times. At the moment I can see a tiny blue hole in the white and gray clouds.
I just got an email from our postal service which says that my package will arrive in a couple of days. What kind of clusterfuck is this?

I'm sure your postal service is trolling you :D
@tkanos That would be the best case scenario, ’cause it would mean that they know what they’re doing … 🤣

The slight blue tinge, if this is correct, is a coating on fancy lens, especially camera, to remove the differences in red and blue light as both refract differently to focus sharp images. So this costing makes the image more sharp in focus.
@off_grid_living I see! 🤔 That would explain why the glasses are better than expected. (They are a replacement for another set which broke, so they have the same dioptres as the old ones – and yet the image is sharper than before.)

Meanwhile … That mysterious second package should have been delivered today. I saw the delivery car on the street. Then the car left. Since that exact moment, the shipment tracking says: “The shipment could not be delivered.” Aha, thank you.

@movq this is exactly what happened to my vacuum a few months ago. But in my case, the order was marked as 'delivered' and then gone forever. So I think Mr. delivery guy got a new vacuum instead 👀
@movq Unbelievable, what a chaos…
The best thing about this: I just called the shop and they said I should just keep it, because they’d simply have to throw it away … 🤣

@movq well at least you have a backup pair ;P
@movq well at least you have a backup pair ;P (if it even arrived)
@movq Tadaaa! Very nice. Backup is always good to have.
