The guys who go stand by the IPS when there are people sorting and fart, then walk away sniggering. When I do it it's funny but when others do it it's childish and pathetic.

Those reserves that DO know rounds but refuse to do them because they're not the nicest rounds in the office i.e. they'll finish a bit later.

People who prep my walk putting stupidly large packets actually inside my frame, as if i am going to incorporate them into my bundles. :d'oh!

Drivers that refuse to wait for your bags - "That's it, I'm off!", "I'll have 'em ready in literally 2 minutes!", "Sorry, can't wait, I'll come back for them later!". Thanks, you p***k, that's at least a half hour wait for my second bag...I hope them two minutes were worth it! :arrrghhh

Constant swearing (and pointless shouting), there's a guy on a frame near mine that must be an ex-sailor - "I went to the F***ing shops and saw f***ing Pete, he was with that f***ing b**ch Sharon, so i said "F**k me, Pete, I thought you had F***ing finished with that s**thead s**g!" :no no After a while it just grates on your ears.

People who wait until I have fully tied up before dumping a pile of missorted letters and packets on my frame, even though i saw them twiddling their thumbs waiting for the special cards to be put out, and could have give me them then. :so there

Unhelpful t*****s who refuse to give you any information about a walk you are covering, even though they know it like the back of their hand. "Sorry, I'm running late, gotta go!" :mad

Union man: start at your start time.

Driver: i'm leaving at five to nine so you better have your bags ready by then.

and that's before you get to the packets.

knobs.
Sadly thats my driver in a nutshell.
How can people expect you to do the job properly, if you get s**t from colleagues for taking your break?!!

Listing to the old f****r behind me moan about how heavy his walk is and how he's gonna have to cut off or claim. I did his walk on a Friday after my walk and his one took me 2 hours! I'd never done it before either :evil/mad

Ain't that the truth sister. We've got one on 200 addresses , of which 12 are three up's tenaments ( rest are main doors), uses his car, whole walk isn't more than a mile long in total. Who complains about the lack of "family friendly Saturdays" and how is ( elderly) mother is waiting at home for the rolls and paper as leaves at 8.00 a.m. Oh its a FT walk too, which apparently takes three hours!.
