Quote From: normalitaI think what I would have done in your case with the UPS driver, was take your break at the time he came in and let your boss deal with him, or just let him drop off the packages and leave. Getting involved in his sad little life is too stressful as you found out and then his problems effect your life. And, now things are a mess. If you would have just cut him off and refused to talk to him, he would have stopped complaining, because there was no one there to listen.
Thank you for the advice. Now the boss made me retract both my complaint and my husband's complaint, and the UPS driver is in a lot of trouble with management, so he isn't talking anymore for now. I figure after a month or two, when he figures he is out of trouble, then he will "whine" at me again. Only this time, I will cut him off and tell him that I only want to talk about positive things. Or, maybe I will get lucky and management will take him off the route!
Thanks again.
