ARGH NUMPTY

Post by mazza111 »

I really didn't think it happened. Sat at my pc this morn and the postie comes, posts a red card and walks away. So I calls him by name... Oh errrr it's still in the van, there's another one at the office for you from yesterday (no card yesterday of course). I've been sticking up for posties for years as I didn't see them benefiting from doing this, does he find it easier cos he's in the van? I have no idea. Needless to say I was rather shocked that it happened. Don't get me wrong, he went back to the van and got it, but.... I really couldn't believe it.

Had it done to me before and I worked next to the bitch every day! She swore blind I wasn't in,yet I saw her come in my gate.
Went out to catch her and she'd disappeared. Had to keep my cool with her the next morning at work even though she was blatantly lying.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Want my old postie back :( This is the same one who doesn't post my daughter's letters through properly, letterbox at street level so the kids steal them and throw them about the street. That part doesn't bother me as I have a front gate. But I just don't get how this is time saving for them. The amount of time I told customers that it causes more probs for posties if they can't deliver an item :arrrghhh

He's my new usual unfortunately. Get my mail nice and early since they started using the vans, but so many mistakes. I have seen him card my address before without knocking, but he told me he had tried to deliver it earlier but had left his cards in van, I gave him benefit of the doubt, we've all done that. He's a lovely lad, but the complaints against him were endless when I was in callers office, seems it's not improved any :/
