Looking like a fool.
Surely it can't just be me,but, does anyone else feel like a fool pushing these hcts about? Was getting some strange looks the other day and felt really self conscious. Suppose in time it will become 2nd nature

Re: Looking like a fool.
How many peeps have asked you for a 99? 
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

First time I had ever used one - was out trialling a duty with the union rep - couldn't help but feel daft

I got a really bad injury using one.............even the manager decided it wasn't suitable for the duty (5 miles away and all up and down hills).

Don’t trust the brakes on ‘em.
Chasing a runaway one downhill, now that’s when you start to feel like a fool!

Re: Looking like a fool.
I use a HCT when I'm on the high street delivering to all the small shops and yes I do get funny looks and 'hilarious' comments about 99's and 'how are the twins' etc but on the upside I never get tired of slamming the lid down and scaring the s*** out of loitering youths, chavs and anyone else I take a dislike to.

Re: Looking like a fool.
We have one in my office that I have used a few times. I walk with it round a quiet area, and everybody I meet refers to it as the "Pram" But I certainly do not feel like a fool, after all, it is just part of the job!
Vote no on the "Agreement"

Re: Looking like a fool.
Heh, when I got my LWT I didn't care if I looked stupid so long as the weight was off my shoulders. A few weeks ago in the sun I passed two young ladies whilst crossing the street and my trolley took that opportunity to topple over I didn't look back.
I didn't look back.The machine stops.
