On the day in question, I was seated at my computer it was to best of my memory approaching 10:30 AM.
I was working on ebay online and began to fell a series of very stong impacts low frequency vibrations. They were very similar to those from several days previous when I had received a shipment of about 20 or more packages of USPS.com shipper boxes.I ignored them at first but kept feeling the vibrations for a period approaching 8 minutes. I could tell they were coming from the Northeast old store entrance side of my home. This was very unusual.After several more minutes I went outside to see what was causing the disturbance.I looked over my fence line after exiting my back door there was an expanded height and length unmarked white cargo van, parked at my front walkway and boxes were scatttered on it. I could see a woman on her knees on the front passenger seat.After looking for a few moments I recognized that she was wearing a FEDEX uniform and cap. As I said hello to her she turned to face away from me. I repeatedly said hello at least 3-5 times she was not more than about 12 feet from me. I could see that she had adopted an unaturally rigid posture and was not acknowledging me. I looked at her ears lobes to see if she was wearing a personal radio or engaged in a bluetooth phone conversation, she was obviously not and simply seemed to be refusing to acknowlede me. I stood on a stool to get a very clear line of sight and again said hello 3 more times. I went inside and got my keys and shoes on. I went around the backside of my building where my gate was open and went around to the van.
At this time I estimate she had been on premises 10-12 minutes.
Basd on the packages on the ground outside of vehicle, I could tell that the disurbance that had drawn me outside was obviously caused by her dropping these packages on my front walkway.
At this I came around front to approach the van.
I was expecting a bag of small plastic cable tv connector water proofing boots from Radio Shack valued at $5 max.
The usual proceedure was to leave these without a signature requirement.
I approached the van and its passenger side sliding cargo door was open.
She was in a crouch on her knees again but now behind the drivers seat.
She was not doing anything I could see I waited patiently to see if she would finish and look up, with out interrupting her but she never did, she kept facing away. I finally said hello Hi I am David Rouse owner of this building, I was expecting a small package from Radio Shack. She did not acknowledge me I said Hello twice more she did not turn for at least 2-3 minutes when she finally started to turn, she horrifically pulled back her left lip to show all her teeth in the right side of her mouth.
To say I was totally creeped out would be an understatement. It was not unlike a small animal coming on a lion feeding on a paltry rabbit and having it turn and show its teeth in preparation to devour you as its next meal. It was very, very, disturbing.
Still nothing was said to me. I again asked do you have a Radio Shack package for me? Could I please have it, please, if you do?
Thank you.
Now she says very angrily I am not going to give you anything until you appologise to me I have been refusing to acknoledge you because I feel ? threatened by your asking for your item. I said what in creation are you talking about? I am totally perplexed. I say, how do you feel my saying hello over my fence is threatening?
At this point she shows me that apparently all this time she has been holding the small black Radio Shack bag in her hand.
She presents where I can see it, but does not give it to me.
Rather holding it tightly between two fingers, she swings it back and forth pendulum style to taunt me with it.
She indicates she wants me to literally plead to her for the package?
She indicates she wants an appology for these contrived wrong doings.
I at this point am realizing that the whole situation is unnatural and contrived.
Something deeper is going on there are these vicious body language and hatefull undertones.
I say, I tell you what let's not worry about this I can am not going to beg you for what you where paid to deliver.
I am not going to appologise to you for some misdeed that never occured.
This package had no signature requirement and shood have been stuck in my door 15 minutes ago.
Why are you out here throwing all you cargo out on my front walkway to make a disturbance, that seems intended to draw me out to greet you???
I am not sure what kind of issue you seem to have with me?
Please simply give me my package.
I am going to ask you again can I please have me package?
She says no not until I appologise for some imaginary misdeed.
I say look I am well aware that your supervisor is not going to condone your current actions.
I can not make you give me the package but I think its time for you to get your stuff up off my walkway and to get in your van and go!
I am standing within 4-5 feet of her van at this point she places her full body frontally against mine very firmly, a mild chest butt.
It was a very distinct challenge to my authority to ask her to please leave.
I began to ask her very monotonously six to seven times in a row, as follows to please leave.
I am going to ask you to please leave now I do not wish to play games with you regarding my delivery please leave, I asked her over and over and over again, at least a total of 6-8 times.
She for the second time smirks at me and shows me all the teeth in the side of her mouth.
I have only seen this kind of body language in crack addicts and prostitutes, on the streets of Miami and Houston when I was living there , it was simply vicious.
At this point in the far distance across the highway I see a lady who helped me part time appraoching with her baby stroller and a small child in one hand.
She is approaching andd i tell the FEDEX lady I really would please like you to leave now I am going to contact your supervisor and let them know of your actions and ask that you are instructed to never return here again.
She stepped off the curb behind her van where I do not follow as shes steps off curb she turns to smirk at me again and says oh yeah well I am calling the Austin Police Department 911.
Within a few minutes at least 3 officers show up they are very cordial other than confronting my help who is now standing waiting on me, and asking her what she is doing very rudely but one they understand she is a part time employee they appologise.
The officer talk to the FEDEX driver out of my site while talking to me.
One officer returns to talk to me and states: She is going to say you hit here and that she has suffered some kind of back injury and she is going to go to a doctor to get proof of this.
After several more minutes another officer asks tells me that the FEDEX driver wanted to give me my package I tell him that I really did not want to deal with this taunting anymore, He suggest that I ask her for the package.
She is seated in the front driver seat and while the officer looks on I ask her please for my package. She still does not give it to me but instead uses this opportunity to talk to me in this snide manne and starts telling me that you know I will no longer be able to deliver to you here and my jaw drops at her audacity. She tells me that she will have to deliver somewhere else instead these are all things I have just dictated to her she just kind of smirks at me a real control freak. Now Is when I finally realise the basis of all her actions that day I had recognised her face just faintly as having seen once maybe 3-5 years before.
She snidely says " It is common shop talk at FEDEX that you are this terrible ciustomer.
Wow my mind goes in fast rewind like a old VCR machine bam 12-18 months ago a laptop pickup I replaced a man in californias IBM T60 laprtop no problems with driver other that I had to tape up as I was not expecting immediatelly the customers ordered pickup, no problem with driver whatsoever.
Ok during the past 3 and maybe up to five years there had been several packages left in my security bars out front from Radio Shack maybe 6-10-12 in that time.
Wow it hits me this is the Gal that delivered a FEDEX one of three laptops that I had either had bought or had serviced and I had had problems with her ignoring the carefully dicated details to deliver to my rear door all packages addresses rear door delivery to residence by NW gate on the second line.
I now remnber her as the impetulant driver who could not be bothered to make delivery to my back door and I had seen her race pass my bedroom window and by the time I stood up to go from my bedroom to answetr my door she had raced away.
There were notes on my old store door indicating that delivery was through gate to the right to the rear door there were notes on gate and my back door she played this knock and flight rutine even though it was abundantly obvious I was there waiting on her. She by her actions seemed incensed she could not enter the front door of a long ago bankrupted and closed business.
I was infuriated after the 3 rd knock and flight it was like some immature childs play I called FEDEX dispatch and her supervisor to complain ver angrilly. they told me they were going to return my latop and charge me again i called the main FEDEX office and was livid about this nonsense a man later made a special delivery with the laptop and had called to notify me he was in transit I received my laptop without a further word as he was very nice and I would have never gripped to the driver about a delivery problem.
I have been told that this woman has drawn workmans compensation and has been home supposedly unable to work from the date of said incident.
She has repeatedly tried to seeek financial restitiution she says to pay back her workmans compensation she was told by travis county this double dipping and recover of workmans compensation not allowed.
Mr. Andy Garbe, my previos student defender has told me tat she has been repeatedly asked for and not ever been able to provide substaniate medical evidence to further her claims.
I would venture a safe guess that she hated her job thought I was an easy target and a good way to drop her overly demanding job.It is mind blowing to think she would hold a grudge or see me is some easy mark but Ithink a little research on her like you so readily did on me will reveal much about her character.
I am 100% certain she will if checked have some significant drug related criminal history.
i will bet any amount of money she has a history of this type insurance fraud.
yours sincerely David S R
