1. And to think, UPS is a NASCAR sponsor!
And the turns in NASCAR are ALWAYS to the left (except on the occasional road race track they do).

15. I'll Tell You That Is A Trip!
Not England, but in Ireland

get off plane, get in car, (sleep deprived because it is now morning and there was no night)

driving on wrong side of road, wrong side of car.

Oh SHIT!

meh, you get used to it pretty fast.

6. I think that's been their policy for a while.

I think it's a safety issue, or at least that's what our old UPS driver told us. :shrug:

Here's an article about it:

14. All the UPS drivers in California are going to end up in New York,
and vice-versa.

And, if my past dealings with UPS are any indication, the company won't be able to find them.
