  I would hazard a guess that

  1. this is just a picture of a “telephone with a handset”, not the specific thing they’re talking about, and

  2. their phone has a removable “hook” that was removed and lost sometime in the past and they’re seeing the slot where it went

  The “shoe” is the mount. “Hot” means powered, for things like flashes. “Cold” means unpowered, for things like tripods.

  This is adorable

  I’ve only known tiny vintage communicator for 5 minutes, but if anything happened to him, I’d torpedo the planet

  I am paying a to-my-door delivery service to deliver things, to my door. I shouldn’t have to specify that I expect people to do the entire job and not just the easy part of it. If they don’t want to do the entire job, that too is a conversation for them to have with the company, not me.

  Personally, I’m crippled, so even getting to the front door is a process. If a driver calls me and says I need to come down, I tell them no shot, I paid you to bring it to my door, so either bring it to my door or refund it.

  If drivers are not getting paid enough to bring deliveries to people’s doors? That’s a conversation for the drivers to have with the company. The company says they’ll bring it to me, and I expect the service I pay for.
