Always think before you speak!!

Post by doorstepped »

A postie at my DO had knocked on a door a couple of days ago with a package that needed signing for, the wind was blowing and it was cold.

on waiting for around 30 seconds he said to himself " for F**K sake open the F**king door " but rather loudly.

as the house owner open the door Fred ( as we will call him ) watched the bloke put a £20 note back into his pocket as he had heard what was said, so no tip for poor old Freddie this year.

so girls and guys, remember to swear under your breath or wait until they have shut the door :arrrghhh

One of our blokes was removed from his delivery for that very reason and was subsequently let go on ill health much against his wishes.

One Postie at our office had someone come to the door with a £10 in his hand - the customer said "Here you go for your hard work" - Postie says "No its Okay mate" - Customer says, "Oh, all right" and shuts the door Postie left shocked and stunned on the doorstep and had the mickey taken out of him next day - moral of the story - take the tenner.

Or back in the good old days when we delivered early in the day:
Customer comes to the door with a tenner in his hand - "have you seen the paper boy?"
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

a woman i was delivering to about 5yrs back walked past me on her footpath, i offered her the mail, she said ''oh just put it in the porch, i need to catch the binman to give him his christmas box''. i didnt get one though. i think she was letting him empty more than just the bins. :Very Happy

been told i look like mark hughes,,,,so draw you,re own conclusions,, i dont think i am(ugly) and wor lass thinks am lush,,,so there. i bet your lass wouldnt shag the postie that delivers to my hoose. he,s got a set of teeth like a row of condemned houses, and someones set fire to his face and put him out with a shovel, and he stinks. whereas the binman is a young lad in his early 30s and a posing fekka

Once crawled up some steps in a flat at the end of a really, really long day. Panting and out of breath I pressed the bell and when the guy came to the door I handed him his packet with a single word "finally!". He took it to mean he had spent an age getting to the door. I meant it "finally, I have got your packet to you even though it's after 6pm." :roll:
