Christmas Wreaths

Post by jaylime »

I dont know about you,but dont you hate it when a customer puts a wreath on the door covering the letterbox.Its a right pain in the arse pulling it out of the way with a handful of letters and packets.And if it has holly on it you get scratched to buggery.Anyway £20 and a bottle of whiskey today so not to bad.

That and when customers park their car a few inches away from the door, but there's a thread for that. Perhaps this should be the official things that customers do that annoy you...during Christmas thread!
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

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.

Also them bloody metal wire wreaths which stick out all over the place. Theyre not that visable in poor lit doorway. Nearly had my eye out on numerous occasions. :roll:
