Honestly, if they did the numbers on the house with a brush and nicer paint instead of a rattle can it would look kind of nice.

If they refused that delivery the broker would’ve had the driver drop the rest at the nearest spot that would take them as donations then billed the original consignee for the whole thing + redelivery

Reply to comment by MightyArd in TIL that the southern United States converted all 11,500+ miles of its railroads from broad gauge (5 ft/1.524 m) to nearly-standard gauge (4 ft 9 in/1.448 m) in just 36 hours, starting on May 31, 1886 by 1859
Containers are already more or less standard outside of length

Reply to comment by Geetright in TIL In 1930, to make way for a new building, the Indiana Bell Building, weighing 11,000 tons, was moved 16 meters and rotated 90°. The work took a month to finish and did not disrupt the building's essential services, nor its gas, water, and electricity supply. No one inside felt the building move. by LPercepts
Wait til you hear what they did to downtown chicago back in the day

On metra trains in Chicago on the upper deck they have little sticker signs discouraging people from putting their feet up on the ledge or railings that say “PLEASE KEEP FEET ON FLOOR” when I was a teenager it was common to find these scratched away to “PLEASE P EE ON FLOOR”
