pissing dogs

Steaders · Post by **Steaders** » 15 Jul 2007, 15:18

On one round I used to cover there was a dog which used to stick it's head out of the cat flap and try to nip you. Went there one day in th erain and totally forgot about the mutt. I stood too close and as the mail went through the box, so the head came out and... ouch!

Next day, I crept up the path quietly, put my leg against the cat flap to block it and rattled thge letter box. The dog came bounded along the hall and then THUMP

- never did it again

I have been bitten SEVEN times!!!! Each time the owners say "oh! my dog never bites"! Yeah right!, never bites you, you mean! Each time i have been told to deliver the letter, but each time i refused ('elf and safety, you know) and insisted the LM do it himself. last time the DOM went to deliver it ( in a crappy housing estate known as hypodermic alley), I was there and praying the damn dog would escape out the cat flap after him as it had me. But no such luck, the owner saw him coming and locked up the dog. But at least the cat flap has been sealed up ( we refused delivery for 2 weeks until they complied). Now he terrorises me from an upstairs window, but at least i know where he is now!

Another of our rounds has a "killer" cat - now that's scary.

It just creeps up behind you silently, and as you turn around to walk away from the door - there it is between you and the gate

And cats claws are bloomin' sharp

Easily dispatched with a well placed boot.

One of the houses I delivered to had a cat that would hang from the letterbox, inside the house, when I tried to post the mail, he would try to slash my hand with his claws! Once I had to ask a neighbour to distract him when he was outside,( he would lie in wait behind a conifer, sneaky bastard) so I could get to the letterbox! On another occasion A squirrel growled( or whatever they do) at me from a hedge! I have also been bitten by 2 dogs. And all this for Â£243.06p per wk. I like to think I'm worth more than 2.5%.

Cats behind letterboxes are a bastard, at least you usually know about a dog, but those bastards just sit and wait, it takes ages to stop the bleeding if they get a good one on you!

Damn right there PA, one of the dogs was behind the door, because the owner forgot to put the cage back on the door, the dog declared open season on my hand! Took over a month to heal completely. But to be fair to the owners, they did apologise and sent me a card and some chocs!

How do they let the customer know they wont be getting their mail until the problem is resolved............ They send you out with a letter to them, which you have to deliver.
And we thought it was only the yanks that couldn't grasp the concept of irony

The last time I was bitten, my line manager delivered the letter

Got some compo as the owners admitted responsibility. The b*****d dog scarred me for life!

Funny, our line manager behaves like that if we walk in to a heavy workload. I just take no notice
