The ones that must sit and watch the window all day every day, and when you walk past they bolt for the door and open it to take the mail from you.

It annoys me so much I end up walking past the window, then bolting to the door and shoving the mail through before they can get there.

I don't know why it annoys me but it does.

i love mail sort wrote:What do Customers do that annoy you at work, has anyone got any good stories?

98% percent of people i deliver to are fine but some people are just thick.
For me its just people 'with attitude'. I'm just doing my job, I'm not your verbal punch bag coz your wife/husband is being mean to you or your hacked off that your benefit giro hasn't turned up or I've knocked too loudly/or having waited 10 minutes for an answer you think its NOT long enough etc.

Oh, and also people who LIE when they make complaints!

Another one is when they get peed at you for not having their gas card or something as "eon promised it would be here today"

Happened to me the other day. Then they come out on the street wondering why I didn't knock. Tards.

The ones that annoy me most aren't actually my customers, but they point and shout at the no cycling signs on the footpath most of us use on the way back to the DO.

A postman, riding a bike on a footpath... Never!
