I can't...

One of the euphemisms I find annoying is "I can't..."

Today, a delivery dude left a pallet of boxes at the end of my driveway but he managed to somehow find his way to my front door to get me to sign a paper stating that my goods were delivered.

I signed the paper because I knew not doing so was going to create more problems than me simply moving my goods myself.

The dude told me he can't move the pallet up my driveway because there was 1/2 an inch of snow. This coming from a logistics company. I didn't know what to think other than he simply didn't want to do it.

I realized that "I can't..." is really a euphemism for "I don't want to..."

(Ps) I took my dolly out and moved everything myself in 5 minutes. No problem. No, I'm sad to say, the dude was white. He was a nigger anyway.

Or he couldnt because of company/insurance policy? Let's say he takes the risk and walks on your snow covered driveway and slips, but because it's snow covered, insurance and company place the blame on him. So he wouldn't receive any help from them, maybe even disciplinary actions against him.

All because you didn't shovel your driveway... I wouldn't take the risk if I was in that scenario. Calling someone a nigger because you were lazy and your inability to understand someone else's situation is pretty sub85

Fair enough, he could have said, "I won't do it." No, he claimed he couldn't do it. It was no problem for me at all. He chose not to. Sure, there are plenty of reasons not to do something.
