Nothing doing so writes out a p739. Just about to post it and yes, you guessed, a woman appears from across the road.

'I always take mail for them' she says, 'it's my daughter in law'
Thought I'd better make sure so I asked her what name it was....and she gave me her name.
No, who's the packet for I said.
'My daughter in law'

AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH

btw, anyone got a good reply to 'where's your black and white cat' ?

If it looks like it won't fit DON'T try it
Knocked on this chap's door, long time waiting. looked at the packet and thought
i can persuade that through only to get it half way in and then it wouldn't budge either
in or out.(sound familiar) :d'oh!
So there i am on my knees pulling and pushing and then the c**t open's the door
i stumble forward and headbutt him in the b*ll*cks.

What can you do? made my excuses and left muttering fu*king e-bay

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

I love it when they just take the item from you without saying a word.
I say " I beg your pardon? " They just give you a vacant look. So I say
"I'm sorry, I thought you said thankyou "
Falling down is not failure
Staying down is.

Knocked on a door, one Saturday with a Reg item, no answer, filled out the 739, just as I'm about to put the 737 through the letter box....yep, you got it, the owner comes to the door . I pass over the card for him to sign, which he does. He takes the item turns, goes back inside and shuts the door....not a word from him,no kiss my ar*e or nothing! :evil/mad :evil/mad
Gashead!! :wink:

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.

Yeah, just before they notice the indentations in their door from your knuckles - and start moaning about that! :roll:
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

On my day off the floater had left a P739 for a pain in the a*se young mother who's at home all day. Next day I go to redeliver the packet - knocks loudly, rings bell (so I thought) and no answer. In goes the P739 and as soon as I walk away the door flies open.

"I can't hear you if you don't ring the bell!".

"I just did", says I.

"You can't have"

"I DID".

Woman tries bell and finds it's f***ed. Cue red face on her and smug face on me. Gave me the signature and never said another word. Satisfaction beyond compare! :nana
