Today Amazon delivered a package of mine to the wrong house.
Not only that… but, it was a house that was 20 minutes away from mine.
And the picture of the package proved it.
Once I realized this, I felt a wave of annoyance arise pretty quickly.
Feeling it continue to bubble up, and knowing if I didn’t do anything I would feel waves of annoyance for the indefinite near future, I decided to control what was in my control and just drive to the house—with as little hesitation as possible. I didn’t want there to be any wasted time or energy in annoyance if I could avoid it.
So I went.
Once I got there, the package was no longer on the porch.
So, I rang the doorbell and a gentleman answered. I explained the situation, and he told me that Amazon took the package back and was going to re-route it to me.
…And before I let another wave of annoyance arise from feeling like I just wasted a bunch more time and energy driving to this person’s house to find out the package wasn’t even there—I quickly interrupted the thought with another.
I told myself that the situation had been handled and that I saved myself hours and even days worth of annoyance and vibe killing emotions.
…And that a little car ride with loud music and droning thoughts was long overdue anyway.
