Discouraging single life?

Are delivery services trying to tell us young, urban, single professionals that there may be something wrong with our way of life? I don't understand that, when you buy something, or order some kind of service and you try to arrange for its delivery..they tell you that their hours of operation are anywhere between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. So basically this means..there'd better be someone home during the weekday or else you ain't gettin your shit. Now...correct me if I'm wrong...but most people...work. And most people....have a 9-5 schedule...correct me if I'm wrong. So....in this case...if you're single...and you work...and you can't exactly take a day off every time you need something delivered...WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO?! It seems that these companies are still stuck in a time-period where most people were married by the time they were buying furniture for their own place...and that most homes were single-income homes...so what..the WIFE is supposed to be at home to open the door? What are people who don't have wives to sit at home and open the door supposed to do when they need something delivered? In this day and age...where most people buy homes when they're still single..and even if people are married...they are dual-income homes....you'd THINK that delivery companies would catch on to the fact that perhaps an evening and weekend delivery schedule is a little more with our times...but...please do correct me if I'm wrong...

I know what you mean! What the hell! My mom has to come down all the way from Chatham to deal with stuff, like if we need a plumber or whatever. Because I sure as hell am not going to rely on Bobby, he's incompetent. He can't even fucking buy margarine. Yes, he has again put a note on the whiteboard, claiming we need margarine. You use it fuckhead, go buy it!! But yeah, they need later delivery services. Maybe we should petition.
