annoying paper boy/man

Post by PatmanPostie »

Hi anyone else have to finish their jobs for them?

Im constantly having to push their paper right through before I can put the customers mail through.
It really gets on my nerves, why csnt they just push them right through?

If I see him/her im going to have to say something.

Slightly off topic....... but not :hmmmm


I've been doing a walk this week that has about 12 houses (out of 600 :roll: , but it still peeves me off) that put stuff into the letter box, to act as a draught excluder, really annoys me.

A simple match or a lighter...hey presto no more paper...although you do run the risk of being done for murder but it's a small price to pay for the extra 30 secs it takes to push it through the letterbox. :roll:

Seeing as we're not not to leave mail hanging out of the letterbox in case of theft and also to prevent it looking like the person isn't home, I used to get rather p*ssed off with the newspaper deliverer leaving the newspaper hanging out. You could always make a complaint yourself, pretending to be someone who lives on that street and say that all the neighbours are complaining that it lets burglars know who's away on holiday etc...

Yep, hate that.
Whoever delivers takeaway menus around here just leave them clipped under the outer flap of the letter box. They don't even attempt to push it through. I come along and lift it up and they fall on the doorstep. That's where they remain.

Same for me this week with charity collection bags - all just slipped under the outer flap and no attempt to push them through.

I think this is because leafletting and delivering aren't the same thing.
It requires a different licence.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

A family member was delivering leaflets in America, was stopped by the local police and told its illegal to to put things through people's letterbox, box in garden or on street, these are for use by the USPS only. This should be the same over here .
