    I thought this years ago when, at the Post Office, the woman asked if I'd like to send it guaranteed delivery. I asked what this meant and she said "It just guarantees it'll arrive".

    I was paying for them to deliver something but had to pay extra to guarantee they'd actually do what I'd paid them to do in the first place.
