We had a lad in our office a few years ago who constantly had problems with a dog and an owner who thought the whole thing was a joke. One day, Barry turned into work with a craft knife. Out came the dog, out came the craft knife, and Barry almost had it's nose off. The owner wasn't laughing after that. He wasn't laughing for a few days after because Barry used to walk past his house on his way to work and empty the milk bottles on the step while no one was about.

all you have to do is refuse to deliver to that address, if he bites you you get nothing except rabies.

WHEN YOU COMPLAIN TO DIMS, THEY DO NOTHING, TOO MUCH LIKE HARD WORK--------THEIR HANDS TIRE FROM THE PAPERWORK!!



IRONIC ISN'T IT, THEY WRITE A LETTER TO THE OWNER ABOUT THEIR DOG-----------WHO DELIVERS IT THEN!!!!

I used to have a major problem with a dog on my walk. It did not matter where I was on the walk, if the dog saw me, it would go for me. I reported it no end of times to the dim but nothing was done. One day, I took a large stick into work. The dim saw the said stick and asked what it was for. I told him that I needed some protection from the dog. The dim said that you can not take that out on delivery with you and if you do, I will have to report you for having an offensive weapon with you!!!!!

Anyway, I continued with my walk, and I managed to get to the dogs house without any mither the one day, so I knocked on the door and spoke to the owner who needless to say was far from sympathetic. I told them that I would report it to the dog warden and that I could have the dog removed as it was a danger to me. They just said, "do what you like" and shut the door! Typical.

I was beginning to get really fed up by this time and so the next time the dog was out, I missed all the streets where the dog was. Well over 200 houses and I took it all back to my delivery office. I promply placed the bundles on the managers desk. He looked at me and said, "Whats that!" I explained that I had reported the dog often enough to the dims, and that I had had enough of being a target practice for the dog and therefore, If it was in any property or street, I would not deliver to that area.

I did not have a problem with the dog again, infact, I didn't see the dog again after that :dance :dance

Different subject but still ironic I had a holiday house on my duty were the owners from London would use it in school holidays. They had no letterbox so I just killed off all the mail,well eventually they put in a redirection. When the usual letter came through for the ocupier I ask dim what to do as not the same name as on re direct he told me to kill it off and write on it no letter box holiday house! a week or so later another letter came through requesting the occupier put up a letter box addressed to the occupier so that to got killed off too :wink:

Oh and as to dogs I have one on my duty that I will not del to as it nearly had me on a number of times, will not even do the specials they just get a card in the gate at the bottom of their track

I did a walk years ago where the doberman(well before staffs became the fashion) dog was out and there was a bloke doing his front garden,which were like the ones out of Brookside ie no fencing round them.All of a sudden it chased me into the middle of the road,he called it off and put it indoors.After the initial shitting myself I got very angry,very quickly and barked at him that he should'nt have his f**cking dog off his f**cking lead!!
He quickly replied "he's not my f**cking dog,I'm the f**cking gardner" in a Meldrew esque manner.
I would'nt have laughed to myself if it had of bit me I suppose.
