UPS relieve themselves of worker who spent more than a penny

A UPS worker has been fired after a home-owner in Houston, Texas, posted security video which shows the delivery man throwing a parcel over a gate and urinating against a house.

UPS officials apologised to householder Ben Lucas for the incident after Mr Lucas said he checked his surveillance video after finding the parcel broken open and some of the items inside damaged, including ammunition and a gun-cleaning device.

The video shows the delivery man hurling the package over a gate, then unzipping his trousers and relieving himself on the property.

Mr Lucas contacted UPS and posted the home security video to social media, after which UPS said the man had been sacked for unacceptable behaviour.
