If I were a delivery driver, and the customer took a picture of me by the truck, I'd probably assume the customer was unhappy with my service and was wanting to document my visit–whether as something to send to my boss or complain about on social media or whatever.  It might prompt me to go back up to the door and ask if I could right some wrong but, other than that, I'd assume that was just par for the course.

If you deliver to a residence or business, you are more likely to be recorded than photographed.

Wave to the camera!

It's more likely that someone is recording how late or verifying arrival of the delivery, and much less concerned with the delivery driver (unless the delivery includes a nasty tossing of the parcel).

Bagels.

I like bagels, but you know what I don't like?  Cream cheese.  Cream cheese is overrated!  You could put almost anything else on a bagel, and I'd love it, but if it has to have cream cheese on it, then no thanks.

When HC was assessing our house, they knocked on the door. I said to them hello and they waved!  :wave:

FTFY.
I was sending a message to my mother about the delivery of the parcel.

I disagree, from what I observe it seems lacking shame or just having a supreme level of self assurance (merited or not) might be more lofty.

Sure, that would be a good way of phrasing it.  I've been fascinated by how some people can be totally immune to criticism and truly believe in their own assured greatest.

It's hard to be truly scathing off basic name calling.

Just in case anyone is late to the game...  His name isn't Max Rockatansky.

I kind of find of amusing that there has been a lot of people over the years who thought my name is Max Rockatansky.

I figured out a while ago that's not your real name, but I'm not sure what else to call you considering I don't know your real name.

Obviously, my name isn't Webny either (that's not even a real name) but I'm fine with people calling me that because I haven't disclosed my name on the forum other than occasionally to sign PM's.

Simply call him "Max Rockatansky."  Nicknames are overrated.

Amusingly I don't really do much to hide my actual name and I suspect a good portion of tenured users on this forum know it.

Sadly, I do not live on CA 9 nor at Postmile SCR 26.00.  Considering the location of Postmile SCR 26.00 I would find it highly desirable to own property there.
