I worked at a courier station for half a year, and the most outrageous order I saw was at 3 a.m.
A man came to pick up a package by car, claiming it was under a woman's name.
We are not allowed to pick up on behalf of others according to regulations, so he placed his ID card on the table and said he was her husband.
I looked, and the sender's address was in this community, and the recipient's address was also in this community.
I asked why he was sending a package within the same community.
He said because he wanted to give it to her in person, and she didn't want it.
I found the package, which was a small box, shook it, and it made no sound.
He opened it on the spot, and inside was a bank card, a salary card from ten years ago, with his first apology letter pasted on the back.
He said over the years, every time he apologized, he would get scolded, so he stopped doing it face-to-face, and instead wrote his apologies in a letter and sent it by courier, for ten years.
Today, this will be the last one—this card was given to her for safekeeping when they got married that year.
She said she didn't need it, so he deposited money into it every month, thinking that one day she would use this card to pay the down payment.
The new courier nearby said, "Did you steal someone else's card?"
He didn't answer.
The property security guard nearby added, "That woman is his mother. Last year, she just took over the community's parcel locker, and it was her who asked to store the returned items here."
He flipped the courier slip over, and on the back was a receipt printed by property yesterday: "Return not received, please handle before the end of the month, overdue items will be destroyed."
The security guard next to him took another new receipt, registered the card as received, and wrote a note: "Boss doesn't need to destroy it anymore, someone finally picked up this card today."
