So I got someone else's meds in the mail today.

[flvegan]

4 bottles (by the feel of it) from Express Scripts.

A good flvegan, knowing tomorrow is Sunday and there's no mail nor post office open, would drive them to the rightful home. It's only one street over. I'd try to find a number first, and announce my delivery. I'm polite like that.

A "don't know, don't care" flvegan might be bothered to drop them off at the PO on Monday. With luck, he'll have them Wednesday.

A devilish flvegan would open the package and see what he's scored.

Decisions, decisions...

[Missy Vixen]

1. You're going to take them over there

After all, the heartthrob of DU would do the right thing. ;-)

Julie

[Mutley]

2. It could be something really fun

But then again it could be some poor old lady's heart medication.

You wanna be responsible for the death of Gramma? :P

[joneschick]

3. we know you're going to take them over for the reasons posted by others

then come back and make up a wonderfully salacious tale to entertain anyway. :hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

4. Dude! They might be 'roids! You could get MASSIVE!

Oh, wait. Too late.

[Richardo]

5. Whichever you do (and I think it will be the right thing)...

...I'd go to the PO and let them know about the misdelivery and that they might want to be a little more conscientious in the future with people's medications, for God's sake.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

6. You will drive them to their rightful user tout de suite

That'll get you big brownie points and good karma.

[DS1]

7. key

see what he's scored.


f that, open it up and toss em if crap


:rofl:


if it was see what she's scored.

you'd already be over there with a bottle of aquafina to wash them down

[Midlodemocrat]

8. Oh, pfft. Like there's any doubt which flvegan will win out.

[no name no slogan]

9. You're not going to share?

:(

That's cool that you're dropping them off. I know I tend to cut it a little close on refills sometimes. Unfortunately, none of my meds are available through my insurance's mailorder plan (too rife for abuse, apparently) so I have to get them the old-fashioned way.

[LeftyMom]

10. It's probably some old lady's premarin or synthroid.

I don't think anything fun gets shipped in the mail.

[Midlodemocrat]

11. Nice. My unithroid comes in the mail.

And I just had a birthday. :cry:


How's the ankle?

[LeftyMom]

13. It's staying shut and isn't too stiff.

Weeping a lot, but the fluid is clear and the skin's not red or inflamed so I don't think it's getting infected.

A friend of mine is on thryoid and she's like, what, 22? I was just tying to think of some non-abusable, no street value, utterly boring medication.

[Midlodemocrat]

15. I've been on it for 16 years.

Since the birth of my son. Sometimes women will get pregnancy related hypothryoidism that goes away. Not me. I don't have that kind of luck.

[LeftyMom]

16. I'm going in to have mine tested.

I've put on a fair amount of weight pretty quickly and my diet hasn't changed. Also, my sleep is perhaps a bit more disordered than normal, but I have insomnia anyhow, so that might be nothing.

Figured I'd get it looked at.

[Missy Vixen]

17. LeftyMom, I hope it's something easily corrected

I'm on the Synthroid stuff, too. It blows.

Julie

[Manifestor_of_Light]

19. I've been on Armour Thyroid for decades.

Since my thyroid conked out when I was 11.
Armour Thyroid is more bioactive than the synthetic stuff.

I was on 2 grains per day for years and was still exhausted.
Now I take 4, and feel much better, and finally convinced my dr I was not a nervous wreck on 4 grains.

[Missy Vixen]

25. Perragrande, my doc took me off Armour

I really liked it. He said there's recent studies indicating heart issues with those on higher doses, so that was the end of that.

He's not a tool of the pharm industry, so I listened.

Bummer.

I hope you're feeling well, and everything's going fine.

Julie

[AnneD]

12. Or maybe...

birth control and Viagra....hey . it could happen.

[LeftyMom]

14. I'm not sure what he'd need birth control for.

I should point out that I'm not sure what he'd need Viagra for either, before he kills me.

[Missy Vixen]

18. If that buncha guys shows up singing "Viva Viagra"

Run. Run like the wind!

Julie

[flvegan]

20. UPDATE Stupid "good flvegan"

No fun, but a slightly funny story.

His number was in the White Pages, so I gave him a call. Older gent. Told me I'd "better have something good to say" in his greeting.

He met me at his gate. Not the most trusting fellow (not that I blame him). HUGE black dog with him and a gun of some sort of large caliber in his waistband. He was very thankful and seemed kind of shocked that I had gone out of my way for him.

[Kajsa]

21. Good for you, Fivegan!

See?- you gave him something to think about.

Hmmm- that young fellow seemed nice.
Maybe there are some good people out there.
----older guy thinking to himself.

Kudos to you!

:D :pals:

[zanne]

22. He doesn't sound like the "trusting" type. nt

[LaurenG]

24. Woah. nice of you to do the right thing anyway. nt

[Missy Vixen]

26. You did a very kind thing

In the meantime, I hope the post office is a little more careful with delivery next time.

Julie

[SPKrazy]

28. good for you!

read this after I posted below

:thumbsup:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

31. Good Job, flvegan.

It's always good to do the right thing.
Duckie

[Adsos Letter]

37. ALL RIGHT!!!

...you probably just scored major points with a local mafia boss... :rofl:

[Whoa_Nelly]

38. You probably got there just in time! He NEEDED his meds!

:rofl:

Am glad you delivered, and that he does, indeed, have his meds ;)

[LaurenG]

23. You know they're probably gelatin capsules and meant for some poor little 'ol' person who pays

too much for them to start with or it could belong to a nude vegan female. (Take them over there)

[SPKrazy]

27. If It is a controlled substance

the person who didn't receive it will try to track it down, may even report it stolen in order to get it represcribed and then the devilish flvegan, if he scored something good and kept it would be the flvegan wearing an orange jumpsuit and flip flops and playing cards all night with the guys...

:shrug:

The real flvegan will take them over to the rightful owner and won't even open the package.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

29. flvegan! I can't believe you, young man!

This isn't a question of if, but when you get your ass in your car and take them over. What would your mother think!?
Duckie

[LeftyMom]

30. See post #20.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

32. My entire post was fake incredulousness.

I think I just made up a word, but you get the idea.
I knew he'd do the right thing.
Duckie

[Ahpook]

33. Dig a six foot hole and throw those fucking pills in it.

Then take a bowl of marijuana over there. That's the true healer and what they really need:)

Those corporate drugs are killers anyway.

War on some drugs? :(

[pitohui]

34. i would go ahead and drive/walk them over myself

i have express scripts and i live on a street where my items have frequently been delivered to the wrong addy

i am forever grateful to those kind souls who have brought me the items from one street over or who phoned me so i could go over and pick up (both have happened)

in my humble opinion if i did not want to spend $ on gas because of somebody else's screw up i would just put it as part of my exercise time and walk the one street over with the RX -- in that way it is costing me nothing anyway and is helping the other person just the same

it's your call obviously but that's what i would do and have done

edit -- have now read the whole thread and kudos to you for delivering the RX to the suspicious old gent

[Connonym]

35. eh, they're not allowed to mail the good drugs anyway so you may as well drop them off

and pat yourself on the back for being a good guy. My mom's insulin recently was somehow delayed in shipment and she had to pay through the nose to get a couple days' supply at the regular pharmacy. You could literally save someone's life and/or save them a lot of money and difficulty. I know you'll do the right thing.

And if your curiosity is killing you, you could open the package "mistakenly" and see what's in it and then take it to its rightful owner

[Lil Missy]

36. I knew you would do the most charitable thing. I would have too.

:)

[harmonicon]

39. option 3, option 3!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it's nothing good, you can still deliver it to them, and say you didn't noticed that it was to the wrong address, and just opened up a package that was in the mailbox.... which is exactly what you did. You certainly never posted anything about it on a message board, nor did you mail a bottle of pills to someone in England named "harmonicon".

[MrSlayer]

40. You can always say you opened it out of habit without looking at the address.

If there is nothing good inside.
