I taste like beef. I'm probably made of beef. You are what you eat, they say, and if the title didn't mean something else, I would be a beefeater. I think red meat is good for you. Puts hair on your chest. What Flavour Are You?

My nomination goes to ...
(drum roll)
the FedEx Corporation.
I tried to send a package to a buddy in England this summer. I asked several FedEx people what exactly I needed to do, since this would have been the first package I had ever sent overseas. They told me what to do and I did it ... sounds simple enough.
About 2 weeks later I'm talking with my buddy from England and he asks "Hey Sas, that package you sent 2 day delivery still isn't here ... and when i try and track it using the routing number you gave me i get an error on the website." I say "Hmm, that's odd ..."
I proceded to call the FedEx customer service number and inquire to the whereabouts of my package. I am then told by several people that the package is in a warehouse in Indiana (why a package going from Connecticut to Northampton, England is 1000 miles in the WRONG DIRECTION I have yet to figure out). If I want to continue the shipping of the package, I am informed, I needed to supply some bogus letter on a company letterhead stating something stupid like I had permission to send this item. Why? I honestly cannot say. It was a privately sent package to another private individual, no companies involved.
At this point, i decide to give FedEx the first (of VERY many) one fingered salute and tell them "screw it, send the package back to me, I'll ship it UPS."
2 weeks later and I still haven't received my package back.
I decide to call FedEx again, only to find out that they have lost my package somewhere in between Indiana and Utah. Once again ... my package travels another 1000 miles in the WRONG FRICKEN DIRECTION. At this point, i loose my Sasquatchean cool and open a verbal spineshanking onto the FedEx people. Seeing that i was a tad (heavy sarcasm) upset, they reassured me that they would do everything in their power to find my package and send it back to me.
10 days later, I come home to find my battered and beaten package leaning up against my doorstep. "Phew," I thought to myself, "Glad that ordeal is over."
Boy, was I ever wrong.
I come to find the next month that FedEx had decided to charge my credit card (which you have to supply them with in order to ship anything) $50 to ship my package from my front door ... back to my front door.
The only reason I discovered this was because I overdrew that bank account by $30 ... because FedEx decided to charge me to lose my stuff. After a lengthy discussion with my bank, I made sure FedEx didn't receive a single dime for the whole rigamarole, and I will NEVER use FedEx to ship ANYTHING ever again ... unless I am in dire need of having something lost for me and returned to my doorstep for a hefty fee.
Sorry for the novel, but that's my nomination.
