 I hate UPS so much... :P

I'm not saying FedEx is all roses, but they seem to piss me off less than UPS.

USPS has been so much better than either of them for years for me, and that says something. :) 
 So the simple event of a plastic pipe pushing out of a compression fitting after 20 years and going undetected for a few hours results in weeks of recovery work and possibly $10-15k out of pocket expense.

These are the moment of home ownership that are frustrating. Thankfully I had been saving for new carpet/flooring and kitchen upgrade in a few years, but now that money will necessarily disappear to something literally unseen under the house which is hugely disappointing :(
