* InterruptedBath: The episode opens with Richard playing with ducks in the bath, only to be interrupted by the doorbell. However, since he takes so long to get out of the bath and to the door, the mailman assumes nobody's home and refuses to give Richard his package. This kicks off the episode's main plot.

* LaboriousLaziness: Richard also puts his honor ahead of reason as, rather just going to the depot and picking up his missed package, he's more willing to run all over town trying to catch the delivery man and get it from a collection point instead. Ultimately he elects to just buy the same item again and catch the delivery then, spending twice the money he would have just picking it up himself.
