Some customers are just either bored or weird

Sorry, this is a tiny rant I want to share.

On friday I apparently accidentally put a letter for a certain number in "X Street" but it was addressed to that numbers on "X Close"
Instead of popping the letter into the house it belongs just several doors away, the guy drove all the way from the village i deliver to to village to the sorting office on saturday morning, walked up to me, gave me the letter and told me my mistake in a loud voice so all the other posties could hear.

I am actually please with myself though for not going into a sarcastic rant at the time.

...sorry about that. People... what a bunch of bastards.

I've had customers hanging letters out of the letter box for me to pick up that is for a house a few doors down the road, whats the point of that, it doesn't take much to drop it off and let me know

One guy started shouting at me for posting a letter through his door stating I made a mistake .

The problem ?? He is number 20 xx street . Letter WAS addressed to number 20 xx street . NO name on door . He says no-one by that name stays there but the guy at number 17 across the road is who its for ! ! ! AND ????? Fkin idiot . Yeah we are meant to know everyone even though its not my normal duty .

When you walk away laughing they mostly get the point they are being arses .

But aren't all items of post always supposed to be delivered by address and not name?

Did you have the excuse that the walk is prepped for you buy someone else? I must get something like 10 missorts a day, most of which are "right number, wrong road" types, some of which are down to me and others to my double-prepper... Its only natural that I will not spot each and every one of these everyday.

Its a sign of the pressurized times we live in at Royal Mail...

One guy in our D.O. when challenged by a snooty woman about a misdelivered letter simply said...
"dont worry about it love, its within acceptable tolerances, we're expected to deilver a certain number of letters wrong everyday"

even better when someone in a tenement stair goes to the trouble of returning the letter,rather than pop it through the door 5 feet from their front door.

[post_bitch]

constantly plagued by missorts - and its me who gets all the grief for it

so fking fed up of this part time nonsense

I used to deliver to a street with a house numbered '1' right next to a house numbered '1A'. one week, the floater correctly delivered a letter to number '1A' (as it was was addressed) even though it was intended for the guy at number 1. The d*ckhead at number 1A couldn't be bothered to walk 10 yards to post it through his neighbour's letterbox though, and put it back in a postbox with 'addressee unknown' scrawled on it.
