However I won't be heading off with Mrs J as we are awaiting a delivery, and even though I ordered it and I am looking forward to it arriving, I'm stuck here.

So, let's make that the POTD;

Having to wait in for a delivery or serviceman.
Good peeve, Jez. I often put off having work done in the house because I'm not willing to use a precious vacation day to wait around for hours for a delivery or service person to show up. I only have 10 PTO (paid time off) days per year, and I won't use one to wait for somebody unless it's an emergency repair.

Waiting for a delivery doesn't bother me. They'll leave it on the porch if I'm not here. Waiting for a service or repair person is aggravating, but it's part of living in the age we live in.
