I can honestly say that peoples property has done more damage to me! Than vis versa.
Hanging baskets briar, blackberry ,hawthorn and concrete planters.

Knocked too hard on the glass pane of the door and broke it.
Broke loads of gates and letter boxes over the years.
A couple of garden ornaments and a door mirror...
Random kids toys lying about.
I'm a bit of a clumsy fecker..

During my very first week, I did the same, only the glass pane didn't break, it just fell onto the floor I put the packet for the customer through the gap in the door and went merrily on my way

I confess that I may have been too forceful with the previously sticky toughened glass sliding door that you had (without my knowledge) fixed, but ,the 24" metal dolphin door knocker that appeared overnight and KO'd me was not my fault. Also the spontaneous combustion of the 30' hawthorn tree that wiped out the estates electricity supply and cable TV ,whilst not exactly spontaneous,was an entirely unpredictable random event.

True! So far far me--several twisted ankles slipping off theose wretched shiny tiled steps--those ones that crumble under your feet.
Broken bones in wrist--overnight a customer had relaid his path, putting in a couple of steps-- trip!
Several skint knees and hands-mainly again due to badly laid pavements.
Several dunts to head via hanging baskets, leaving skin behind! (my dna graces thousands of houses!)
Dog bites, attacks by flying cats--the list goes on!

Didn't you extinguish the fire, or were you just bothered about getting home early ?

Have noticed that there is a tendency for people to prop up things at the back of the doors and thus making it difficult sometimes for us posties to push longer items through the letterbox!! It happened to me one morning, i pushed a longish packet through and in turn pushed over an ironing board, which in turn fell against someting breakable in the hall. All i heard was CRASH and something breaking

I've pushed over a pram and some ladders, but the best one happened around 10 years ago. It was one of those victorian terraced houses where the letterbox is on the front and is straight into the living room, I started to push a thick large flat through and something was in the way so I gave it a shove. I heard a big crash, looked through the window and the Christmas Tree had gone over

I ran away and never heard anything about it.

pushed a york into a display of potatoes in a supermarket with a p/o in it. it was like trying to stop an avalanche when they all came tumbling down, left a bit red faced.

I've kicked a few pints of milk over back when we used to get out early.

That's why you're meant to wear a Cycle helmet, nothing to do with traffic accidents! That skid lid has saved me from many encounters with "The Hanging Basket"! No joking we had a lad that was knocked out when he walked full pelt into a newly fitted, low-level, satellite dish!
