Advice needed.

[mclovin]

An old lady on my delivery accused me a few months ago of tampering with her mail.

First of all I was told this by the warden of the resi home, also telling me this woman was mentally unstable. My reply was that if she has a complaint she must ring cust services, meanwhile I informed manager of the accusation. Warden also phoned manager and explained the situation with this ladies mental health.

So she does this and a special instruction is put among my gear saying I have to take all her mail to the manager before bundling up, fine.

She gets absolutely tons of stuff, 15-20 letters per day from those scammers from all around the world.

So the manager checks it for about a month, then tells me to leave the special instruction but not to do it any more, only cover should do it from now on he says.

Now this morning, the warden informs me, the lady is going ape, same accusations, but she cant calm her down. Now she tells me if the lady questions me, come find me she says, or pull the emergency cord, but dont get into an argument with her, she could do anything. Also that she is going to get onto Social Services again about her as she is crazy.

Bit worried about delivering her mail now, if the warden is seriously worried about what she may do, there must be cause for concern.

MM .could you not get the warden to check mail before handing it to the old lady? I has a similar problem many years ago, but it turned out that this lady, who was almost blind, had a son visit her, and it was he, when he knew money was coming from other family members for birthdays etc, who tampered with the mail!

this could be why theres a problem, the reason she gets soo many is cause she has sent money off to one of them in the past, she is probably doing it on a regular basis and thinks your nicking the winning cheques! a quiet word with the warden explaining she is on a mugs list might help

The warden knows this, as does the manager. I know she replies to them because she sends them back in the envelope they came in, meaning I get them again in my coded tray. These I put in the missorts.

Bundle her mail up separately and get the manager to check it everyday without fail (and tell your cover to do it too) then next time it goes wrong give the warden your manger's name and number and let him sort it out. You're paid to deliver mail not manage customers? Top marks for trying to help but I think you need to get your manager to be a bit more 'hands on'. Mind you don't get the blame for anything going wrong here

[mclovin]

Maybe I should refuse to deliver her mail on the grounds she might stick a screwdriver in me neck.

Make sure you're wearing RM footwear when she does

You could try rolling a Saga magazine into a cylinder and suffocating the mad old bat with it, as attempted by the android 'Ash' in the 1979 sci-fi horror movie "Alien", which starred Sigourney Weaver.

She needs a one way ticket to Zurich Dignitas could sort her out.

[creedscat]

Just bang her out.

Well all i can say is don't any of you dare get old and suffer from mental illness and if you do.....expect roughly the same treatment.

[smelly_cat_lady]

Surely if you get old and suffer from mental illness.......you get a job as a RM manager............don't you?

No, not lauighing When I was off work with depression for some considerable time my doctor had me down as suicidal, and though I get by alright day to day now, I'm not much better and basically have been around for plenty long enough. .
