Had one bright spark this morning.

"Print and sign next to Number 3" whilst holding my finger next to the number 3.

So she prints/signs next to number 2.

I always say "PRINT and sign next to number... " and point the pen to where they're to sign and they still ask.
I'm thinking, I've just shown AND told you. I'm saying "next to number..." And they still look at the card funny. Doesn't help that the numbers are in pale lettering (for the machines, fair enough) but no bugger can read em.

Also had the "Postie, can you shut the gate please" when I haven't even been thru it!! They think that I'm the only person that puts anything thru their door, forgetting the 2 Polish lads who are out delivering charity envelopes.

That really bothers me, people spend five minutes trying to find the key, then give up ask you to pass it to the through the window, how would these people get out if there was a fire. I delivered a parcel once some one came and shouted through the letter box that they didn't live there was just staying a few days and didn't have any keys, couldn't open any door or windows, how the f**k they meant to get out in an emergency.

Maybe it was a burgler..... and you believed him..
