A mate of mine missed delivered, and the occupier came steaming out in a rage,
for Gods sake man can't you read?
My mate replied, as a matter of fact no i can't.
The guy just stood there, shrugged his shoulders,and walked back indoors. :cool

Put a mis prepped letter in door by mistake, bloke comes out shouting about it then says where the hell have you posted mine then.
People who take ages at the door, you see them come try it, its locked 5 mins later they open it and say "sorry couldn't find the key", feck sake how longs the bloody thing been locked.

workmen singing postman pat or wheres your black and white cat, to which i reply ' it went mad, so i shot it' (OK I'll get my coat), a dog that bit me once and the owner said its never done that before and i said, sarcastically 'well there's a first time for everything!', households that have dog s**t all over the paths and like everyone else, every day and i mean every day some twonk will say if its a bill you can take it back! aaaaaaargh and gates that are locked and I've a bundle of mail/packets for them, really the list is endless.

And lo, upon any given day, it is writ, LARGE, that upon pressing every button on the intercom of sheltered accomodation and failing to receive an answer therein, with great fear and trepidation thou dost press for THE WARDEN only to hear 'There is no Warden on site, you have got through to the control centre, you'll have to try a resident!'. And there endeth Post Operative Plodd's good humour and cheerful demeanour and there was a great wailing and a gnashing of teeth and people were sore afraid...
Amen

Very true for no matter how many times i ask THE WARDEN on a monday to add my name to the exclusive list the control centre deems fit to enter the building on a saturday,every saturday without fail i get the "your not on the list,your not getting in,you will have to try a resident! :evil/mad
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

"That'll save your legs son" What! nine steps less a day will prevent me being crippled.
"Have you no got a parcel for me,son" as I walk past their gate, Yes but i'm keeping it.
"It comes in the front door and goes oot the back door" as I deliver their D2D's.

'Sorry, i dont take parcels in for neighbours, ive had hassles doing it in the past."
Guess who turns up at the callers office complaining that i could have left their parcel with neighbours rather than dragging them all the way into town? yeah top marks....

And the folk who have the 'Dont leave parcels with neighbours' notices are NEVER F**KING IN when you call with half a bag full of their ebay purchases.

Knocking on a door with a packet customer comes to the door to find its locked "won't be a minute I'll just go get my key" they come back a couple of minutes later but still try the door before using the key like it magically opened
or a customer complaining about a mis-delivered leter which they have opened in error but still say its clear its not for them why did you open it then
Knobhead dole dossers with nothing better to do than wait behind the door and pretend to be a dog "your bird would be better at that mate the ugly bitch"
