Thanks, I hate it
I've simply had enough.
I hate vertical letterboxes, low letterboxes, spring loaded letterboxes, narrow letterboxes, hidden letterboxes, painted over letterboxes. I hate letterboxes. I didn't think I could but I do.
I hate gravel paths, slate paths, cars parked too close together, I hate big vans parked on narrow drives, I hate houses with no f***ing numbers, I especially hate multiple houses in a row with no f***ing numbers.
I hate floppy packets and stiff letterboxes. I hate mossy paths, leafy paths, and uneven stairs. I hate stepping stones that are too far apart on grass they don't want anyone to walk on. I hate doors that have been egged and not cleaned, letterbox blockers, dog s**t, dirty doors, and intercoms covered in literal feces.
I love dogs but I hate customers who don't control their dogs and let their f***ing husky jump up with its paws on your shoulders so you're face to face with it. I hate long drives, huge estates, Halloween decorations that cover the letter box, taped up letterboxes, I hate signs pointing to letterboxes found around the corner and over a bridge.
I hate wheelie bins, I hate people using wheelie bins as a gate?? I don't want to touch your bins, do you want to touch mine??
There is more, but let's keep it light hearted.

Re: Thanks, I hate it
Or the people....
Who won't answer the door until you've wrote and posted the 739 and you're half way down the street (Didn't you knock? Nah, that's too easy).
Who meet you at the door while you're trying to find/scan/photograph a packet (which always ends up being postable then they look at you strangely).
Who see you on your walk and say 'anything for me postie?' (There might be, let me just pop back to the van and have a search, won't take me long, if I'm lucky I'll go down the conduct code for handing stuff out on the street).
Who comment how late you are nowadays (then want you to listen to their lifestory).
...and the spiders of course ( who cunningly weave there webs outside front doors at face height no matter how tall you are).&

Oh just remembered one of my personal favourites, when someone opens the door and presses their doorbell to prove that it does work

Stretch, and maybe even go to the gym if you never been before some low weight leg work will help tremendously imo. Makes climbing up and down stairs a little sore the next day but pays off long term. Your an athlete now! A low paid athlete but yeah that was a headline at some time in their courier.

I hate those cheap plastic door bells which don’t press properly. And unless you hear the ring can never be sure it actually works! Or door knockers which do work but told not to use them as they are only ornamental!

Press the bell and if you cannot hear it - da, da-da-da-da, da-da knock on the door with the corner of the PDA. Save your knuckles.

I've got to this point now.... I was mostly viewing the job in a positive light, like the fellow posties, like walking, like the early finishes....Plobobble wrote: ↑29 Oct 2022, 20:02I've simply had enough.

but all of the above + what everyone else added + mainly management telling me I am slow when I am not and telling me to do the impossible, whilst managing the office like someone with an IQ of 10 would..... it's just pure frustration and impossible to work with people like this.

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.

That's what I LOVE about this job .... There's just so much to HATE!
