O Correio / Bahraini Post Office

Mando varios presentinhos mundo afora. E 25% nao chegam ao destino. E batata! Mandei 4, pode ter certeza que um volta.


Dessa vez foi a caixinha da Monica, que esta em Londres, que fez o caminho de volta pra ilha. Recebi uma notificacao pra ir ao correio que tinha um pacote pra mim. Mas tinha que ser o correio de Muharaq, por que eles nao podiam mandar pro que e perto da minha casa.


Ja farejei enchecao de saco.


- Oi. Vim buscar o meu pacote.
- Ah! Voltou.
- O endereco esta correto, nunca tentaram entregar.
- Nao. Tentarame ntregar. O pacote foi recusado. Agora vc paga 20 euros pra pegar o pacote de volta.


Eu olho pra caixa linda octagonal cheia de girassois que eu tinha comprado e vejo que ela esta toda destruida... me da vontade de pular no pescoco do cara que quer me cobrar pra devolver um pacote que eles nunca tentaram entregar, e que agora, alem de tudo,e sta todo estracalhado.


Sai de la sem o pacote, morrendo de raiva. Agora vou tentar provar que nunca tentaram entregar o bendito... Vamos ver!

********************************************************

I send several packages every year, to my friends worldwide. And 25% of them do not reach their destination. It is a done deal! If I send 4, one can be sure that one will back.



This time it was Monica's gift, who was going to meet her in London, who made ​​it's way back to the island. When I got a notification to go to the post office, explaining they had a package for me, I knew it could not be good news.
Off I went all the way to Muharraq ( in the other side of town, because they refused to send it to the office close to my house).


- Hi I came to get my package.


- Oh! It is not a parcel for you. It is something you sent and it came back.


- The address is correct, clearly market and no one ever try to deliver it in London.I checked.


- Not true. They tried to deliver. They did. The package was refused. Now you pay 20 euros to get the package back.


I look at my ex beautiful octagonal box, fully decorated with sunflowers, and see it is all destroyed ...

I feel like yelling at the guy who wants to charge me to give me a package that they never tried to deliver, and now is back in bahrain and all shattered.


After the same argument happened several times: they tried to deliver/ did not/ did too...
I left without the package, spitting fire.
Now the only thing I can do is try to prove the post office in London never tried to deliver ... Let's see!
