So I have a nasty habit of letting things go...
Recently I bought a plane ticket to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, because that's where I'll be spending the winter holidays. Well, there and Singapore to be specific. Anyway, I'm expecting my plane tickets to arrive by post, forgetting that, of course, the post will come when I'm still at work and no one will be home to sign for any packages. So to my surprise, one day I come home from work and there's a little slip of paper in the mailbox (in Japanese) telling me that the postal service attempted to deliver a package from ANA (All Nippon Airways), the company from which I had bought my ticket. It then has instructions detailing how I can go about contacting them - they even have an English help line - to arrange a more convenient delivery time. Being the responsible adult that I am, I contacted them immediately to arrange delivery for that evening, and now I have my tickets in hand, ready to go.
I'm lying, of course. What actually happened is that I promptly misplaced the notice and forgot all about it for about a week, at which point I saw it lying on the table and thought to myself, "Self, I really should get that taken care of." So I called the post office's English help line, and they informed me that, naturally, it's one day past the last day that the post office can hold it before sending it back to ANA, so I have to call the airline and have them re-send the tickets. I don't know if I'm going to get charged for this, but it's the least I deserve.
