I would need to shoot your cameraman, it made me feel sick watching it, it was like a bad holiday video, UPS man played the best part. Is the T4 still made from plastic? Don't think any speaker are left and right hand, just headphones.

Tip the UPS driver??????? I can't tell if you're joking or serious. I've never, ever heard of anyone doing that. A Christmas card with a few bucks in it for the post man maybe, but never UPS, FedEx, ect.

LOL Indeed...Isn't that the Obama way....Keep from those that have and give to those that don't. Spread the wealth and all that.

Actually I have never heard of tipping a UPS driver whether Living in San Diego,LA Branson, Las Vegas or South Carolina...No one ever mentioned tipping a UPS driver. My uncle is a retired mailman...He never heard of tipping a UPS driver...in fact he said he got a few tips around the holidays.... Do you tip the mailman everyday? He does the same thing under much rougher circumstances and for less money....... Hell I leave 20% at buffets for the water bearers. But no I don;t tip UPS drivers. Never heard of it.

This has got me scratching my head. I'm thinking Donnie's family came from Italy and trident is from Greece. Is this an "old world" custom brought over to the US maybe? Nothing wrong with it of course, I just never was exposed to this. Not all that important either, but just raised my curiosity a bit.

First -- Thank You Scott Yee, another great idea, very touching. You made me smile and I got that old feeling – “I wonder if I should buy one”. The delivery of a new keyboard is one the most exciting experiences I have had. It’s like, “Dad’s new toy”.

Second – Only here on this forum can someone post something special and have half the people post their thoughts on a second subject almost not related. I guess if you lighten up there is some humor there.

My comment timing was right after Diki, I don't know what happened and it went in so late.

Monday morning I received a parcel and it was so early that i barely had the time to put some clothes on and sign the papers. The man carried it all the way to the 3rd floor where I live. It was not heavy at all, but in the confusion I forgot to tip him and I had it in my conscience. During the video, when I realized he didn't tip him, I thought of the Monday guy. Thank god Scott's friend was on the ground floor!.

As a matter of fact I tip people bringing parcels and such, but not the mailman (we actually have a "mailwoman" ). My parents and other old folks tip the mailman when he brings their pension. In fact, I have a cousin who used to be a part-time mailman, and he said that they used to fight over who was going to do the rounds in the early days of the month when pensioners received their pensions, because the tips summed up in a considerable amount. Most people here do it, apart from el cheapo bastards. I have argued with a friend and his wife, because they didn't tip the pizza man, following a flawed logic of "I don't get tips at my work, so I don't tip. She was a teacher, he a computer network expert.

Apart from tipping, when you receive a parcel with a "toy" you ordered (I mean a "Dad's toy" not "Yamaha=plastic=toy") it is Christmas all over again, I can relate to the guy in the video jumping up and down in joy.

I enjoyed the young chaps excitement, but I couldn't help but notice the severe lack of decent furniture in their house???

He can spend $4500.00 on a new keyboard, but not on living room or bedroom furniture????

I guess it's all about priorities!

Musicians put out a tip jar on a gig.....
so why not tip the UPS man or whomever provides a service you choose?
I cant stand cheap ass people.
