Paper cuts from D2D.
As title, this week has been a nightmare. I have 4 d2d's this week with 2 thick paper leaflets which keep slipping to the bottom of the bundle and then cutting my fingers. I got 3 cuts on tue and a further 2 today
My hands are going to be slashed to ribbons of this keeps up.

Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

I always used to keep a few elastoplasts in my posties 'emergency kit' for this very reason. Nothing worse than posting letters

Re: Paper cuts from D2D.
The thicker paper D2D's are the worse culprits. The corners of those aluminum letter boxes always get me, forever getting stabbed by them. Always in the same place, base of my thumb. But I must say neither compares to a cat shredding your fingers 
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

Your right those boxes are a nightmare as well. You would think when someone made the first template they would have rounded the edges off

I've had to deliver a few bloodstained letters due to particularly vicious postboxes

Spot on with the base of the thumb comment
After a while the slightest little knock and it starts bleeding again, glad it wasnt just me
