Wouldn’t have made a difference, I’ve seen Fed-Ex employees THROWING items out the back of their truck. Literally throwing. Then stacking it nicely on the trolly to bring it into the building.
no, under the mat is moisture and dirt and a paper envelope is not going to help with that. he should have left it unbent on the porch in a safe place. or they could have sent them in a safer package.
mmhh… that is interesting. On my first comment i’ve been told that I already wrote something similiar. And by reprhasing I make a double post. Fail before attempt. O_o
A lawyer is standing at the pearly gates complaining to St. Peter:
I should not be here. I’m only 38 years old and in perfect health. I don’t remember any accident, so what happened. St. Peter consults his list and replies “According to your billable hours your 92 and in the wrong place.”
Failblog: the only thing at work that doesn’t get blocked because it supposedly isn’t “Unsavory/Dubious” (yeah, no joke. Got this msg when I clicked on a pop-up for $250 in free groceries) or Rated R or has Adult Content.
Yeah! But you’ll need a handy Black Hole to do it.
Without one the X-rays will just travel in a straight line at the Speed of Light. So why didn’t the sender just aim them where he/she wanted them and they would have gotten there 1,623,907% faster!
The USPS defines “bend” to mean “cause to crease” – so, basically, they think “do not bend” actually means “do not fold”. Why the rest of the world disagrees with this is beyond me.
Agggh, but thats the good thing, my senorita will get on a beneder and will let me pretend her to be anything I want and even with the blender *Hic, dang theeeeem rita’s is strong, Hic*
Why do you suppose these are confidential medical documents?
They could have X-rayed a potato from all we know!
At least I know of one that needed medical assistance after an unfortunate incident with a Vicar.
And thus, the death of the retail sector. I don’t want to buy hardware from an idiot who doesn’t understand the difference between sheet metal and aluminum siding, thank you very much.
To be honest, the curve of the envelope wouldn’t affect reading the x-rays at all as the transparent film is quite flexible. It’s not really a fail. If there was a crease, then the x-ray film would be ruined. Think of large photo posters – they’re rolled up to protect them rather than folded. Are they ruined? Sorry, but this doesn’t work – NOT a fail.
Nope! I don’t have to work now but have my own jewelry making business. Yes, I admit there’s times I’m sort of pedantic about details but my sense of humour is good. It tends to the Brit off-the-wall type – stuff that’s totally ridiculous or unexpected. AND I’m hard to insult as I laugh at my own mistakes since I make lots of them!
maybe…but I’ve definitely gotten an LP in the mail bent to fit in the mailbox before. That did not make me happy, especially since it was a limited edition that I got on ebay.
ok…there’s no way none of you have had one of these stupid car dealership advertisements that come in an envelope marked X-Rays!! I get at least one every other month, since when have you EVER seen actual x-rays sent through the mail?
Well, posters, it’s about time for me to punch out on the time clock and head on home for the weekend. Just wanted to let you all know what a hoot it is popping in every day to see the latest batch of comments. Coming here is like stumbling upon old friends at the corner bar. I may stop by over the weekend between putting up the lights and shopping. Stay cool!
I think those envelopes should be reworded to “Do not fold” …creases will cause damage, the film is quite flexible though and a bend like that will not cause harm…Staples/Office Depot Fail
Dummy should have left those under the mat.
Dummy who sent it should have used another carrier like Fed Ex.
Wouldn’t have made a difference, I’ve seen Fed-Ex employees THROWING items out the back of their truck. Literally throwing. Then stacking it nicely on the trolly to bring it into the building.
avis want mail?
Not from Fed-Ex, not really.
FedEx is better than CEVA. I was given a time I can go to Tulsa to pick up my package. They don’t deliver this far.
Sounds more like SEEYA!
CIA!!?!?!?
What does the Culinary Institute have to do with mail???
Yeah, letter carriers don’t work on hollandaise!
But they DO work on satay-days.
I’ll chicken to that for you.
They do work on hollandaise if they need to ketchup.
Only when it is mornay can handle during the regular work week.
Yeah, but they get so fried during the wok week, they commonly have to come in on Saturday. That’s why they’re always going postal!
Every Fed-Ex package actually has to withstand a 6-foot drop at the main distribution centers.
How did he get them to stick to the wall like that?
He didn’t. Spider-pig took the picture.
no, under the mat is moisture and dirt and a paper envelope is not going to help with that. he should have left it unbent on the porch in a safe place. or they could have sent them in a safer package.

The envelope is wrong. X-Rays will bend with enough gravity.
Incorrect. With enough gravity space-time will bend. X-Rays will follow a straight path through curved space.
With the right refractive medium, however, X-Rays will bend.
Yeah! But you’ll need a handy Black Hole to do it.
Without one the X-rays will just travel in a straight line at the Speed of Light. So why didn’t the sender just aim them where he/she wanted them and they would have gotten there 1,623,907% faster!

X-RAYS Do Not Bend???
Obviously they do…..!
You beat me to it. The real FAIL here is that the postal worker didn’t write “Oh yes they do!” on the packet!
See … no one pays attention anymore.
So what did the postman bend? The letter or the rules?
The space-time continuum, of course.
“So are my bones broken?”
“No, sir, just bent.”
“…what?”
“Sir, have you ever eaten a very strange-looking fruit and had the urge to become a pirate?”

You should send her in splendor to the vendor to tender payment.
After the bender, you’ll need a mender. I hope you didn’t damage your fender in the process!
Oh, and Dragon: No salt, no salt on the margarita!

It was reply for my post way above, i clicked on wrong reply button..
First!
Yeah, you were first, but they used their black hole to bend time so that they could add comments before yours.
i think the real issue it why confidential medical documents are being sent by courrier
At least they didn’t get lost.
In the UK, millions of private details have been lost in the post by numerous ministries.
Don’t forget the ones who leave important discs and laptops on the tube.
Which reminds me…
*gets out disc marked ‘NHS PATIENTS – ESSEX COUNTY*
Why do you suppose these are confidential medical documents?
They could have X-rayed a potato from all we know!
At least I know of one that needed medical assistance after an unfortunate incident with a Vicar.
Oh, loufail, the nuns dropped this photo.
*shows*
*averts eyes*
*looks at photo and suddenly feels sick*
Why? WHY?
*dashes out of room, screaming*
Because the gerbil was hungry!
OMG. So wrong in so many different ways.
*ugh*
*tosses bottle of brain bleach to BFF as he leaves the room*
*gratefully washes brain*
Ah, nasty memory gone. Goney, goney, gone.
Why is that potato stuck up that man’s bum?
Because they couldn’t get the gerbil to come out to eat.
He cant survive on just corn!
Emmanuel Kant?
Who would name their gerbil Emmanuel?
Oh my god (pun intended)…
Seriously, has no-one heard of Emmanuel Kant?
I Kant think of a good reason why.
Yes, I’ve heard of him. I know that he was a real pissant,
who was very rarely stable.
But I couldn’t think of any connection to this thread!

do you know how much it’s hurt to be bendt
No. I’m not even sure what action is taken to “bendt” something.
Yes! I Do Know how much it is hurt to be BENDT!
Bend over and I’ll show you bendt.
Bend over and I’ll show you a potato.
That’s what you get for hiring a half-wit. You pay peanuts you get monkeys who bend your mail.
Monkeys eat peanuts? Or do they use the peanuts to buy bananas from the elephant’s fruit stand?
My workmate’s neighbour had a monkey. It ate porridge and not bananas. We couldn’t figure out how it would obtain porridge in the wild.
And thus, the death of the retail sector. I don’t want to buy hardware from an idiot who doesn’t understand the difference between sheet metal and aluminum siding, thank you very much.
Really, you can’t make pizza out of aluminum siding.
Well, that’s what they said about rubber, too, but then school cafeterias came along…
I thought the aluminium option was the light-bite?
They always bend my mail that clearly says not to.
They hardly ever listen to the wishes of the letters.
They can’t all be post whisperers.
I think they call them mail murmurers…
Letter listeners?
Postal patter?
Gotta… bend… this… mail… to get it… to fit… on… your… porch…….
Actually, the post man didn’t bend it, he just put a rubber band on it, and the rubber band bent it… no one ever suspects the rubber band!
Postal Carriers are NOT BLIND!
Meaning: They are unable to see the word “NOT” when it is written or printed.
And the Pope is NOT catholic!
That’s right, he can give up cats anytime! So, definitely not a cataholic.

I think the postal carriers just play “Will it Bend?”.
Ow!
Remind me never to sleep with a letter carrier!
Never sleep with a letter carrier.

And I want it all ready, proofed and turned in by Monday 6 AM. I can’t stand to go to work without a whole universe to gripe about!
Send me the blue prints for approval. But DO NOT BEND the blueprints!!!

Oops. Hadn’t got this far down yet.
To be honest, the curve of the envelope wouldn’t affect reading the x-rays at all as the transparent film is quite flexible. It’s not really a fail. If there was a crease, then the x-ray film would be ruined. Think of large photo posters – they’re rolled up to protect them rather than folded. Are they ruined? Sorry, but this doesn’t work – NOT a fail.
I’ll bet you’re a bummer at work as well.
hee hee… “bummer”… like that vicar.
Nope! I don’t have to work now but have my own jewelry making business. Yes, I admit there’s times I’m sort of pedantic about details but my sense of humour is good. It tends to the Brit off-the-wall type – stuff that’s totally ridiculous or unexpected.
AND I’m hard to insult as I laugh at my own mistakes since I make lots of them!
Jujube?? You’re the candy equivalent of annoying. Why can’t you be fun and flexible, like Jujufruits? They are SO much better!

hee hee, gerbil… way up… hee hee
“Xrays do not bend.” Well, in fact, they do.
The mailman surely was a scientific and knew that X-rays CAN indeed be bent, so the envelope was FAILing!
Looks like a photo orientation fail to me.
Well, posters, it’s about time for me to punch out on the time clock and head on home for the weekend. Just wanted to let you all know what a hoot it is popping in every day to see the latest batch of comments. Coming here is like stumbling upon old friends at the corner bar.

Tee hee. Failmail.
Or GFail. Your pick.
The questin remains : What was inside the envelope ?
Schrodinger’s cat?
Should Have been called “mail fail”…
This is what my mailman always does.
he couldn’t find the mailbox?
plus he left a perfectly good glass of clear kool-aid there on the stoop. what a dumb FAILMan
I thought they were bigger than that and had a pointy tail
Xrays are frequently sent in the mail. They’re not to be creased. rolling is a preferred method to fit large envelopes like that into your mailbox.
FAILMAIL?
Thier not real, the x-rays are made of plastic and for display only.
*Replaces thier with they’re*
I know that
X-Rays – Do Not Bend
Yes they do, see?
yes..agree..the envelope was fail not the mailman..
envelope + mailman=fail
poatman must’ve been spanish
I once had some 5 1/4″ disks (ask your parents) mailed to me. With stuff on.
The postman folded them in half to get them through the letterbox.
They still worked.
Also a win – mailman has proven that x-rays are in fact rather bendy indeed.
If the X-Rays were not to be bent then they would of put them in a cardboard envelpoe. Not a paper one. So now.
Holy sheep! You guys are crazy!
(By the way, I’m new here.)
Technically that isn’t a bend, its a roll. A bend causes a crease much like a fold. Still. Shoulda laid it flat under the mat.
I think those envelopes should be reworded to “Do not fold” …creases will cause damage, the film is quite flexible though and a bend like that will not cause harm…Staples/Office Depot Fail
lol… a Mailman failed me today too hahah
It is against the law to read someone elses mail….
