I do with IT in the Public Sector ~ we got about 6000 machines on the network that covers a few dozen parishes, constantly increasing, and about all new computers come past me. Daily deliveries vary, a printer and a couple of usb pens at one end of the scale, biggest drop has been 250 complete PC units.
Today, about 11 o'clock, my phone goes. Driver at the door, so I went out to let him in. "Four pallets" he announces, and in a flurry of action he's handballing boxes into the foyer. (We don't have pallet handling facilities.) "Hang fire," says I, "I'm expecting nothing like that much," and went to check what was supposed to be coming today / tomorrow. Virtually nothing.
By the time I got back he'd cleared the second pallet, and was stripping the third. "Wait up a bit," I says, "there's something wrong here." Looks at a box, and its got a NEWCASTLE address on it ~ 75 miles away! "Lets have a look at the swindle-sheet (delivery ticket)," and sure enough in black and white, four boxes to be delivered to us.
Couple of phone calls later, and guess what?
He'd driven off in the wrong vehicle!!!!!
