F you FedEx.

The throw out bearing in my 1998 Jeep Wrangler has been making noise. I figure with close to 160k miles, might as well do the whole clutch, especially since I have these months in "isolation". I opt to order a new flywheel, since resurfacing the flywheel on this application is not recommended due to the slight concave design. Flywheel has been on back order for about a month now.

FedEx guy comes, it's raining, and he decides to throw an already ripped open box containing the flywheel onto my asphalt driveway. He threw it far enough that the noise it made when it hit the ground caused my neighbor standing in his garage across the street to turn around. I give the FedEx guy a "WTF" look, and he speeds away. Flywheel has hit the asphalt on the exposed part of the box, and knicked one of the teeth for the crankshaft sensor. Perfect.
