Don't you hate it when the mormons are out on patrol. They get in your way following you to every door and are in general a bloody pain in the ass. One tried to get into a conversation with me, one thing led to another and we parted on bad terms.

Anyone else get annoyed by other human being whilst out on delivery?

Same with the Jehovah's lot. They regularly patrol one of my estates & once word gets round on the grapevine that they're about then I know I've got no chance getting a result for signed-for items and the like...everyone 'pretends' to be out shopping :roll: .
You do the work, they get the loot. The men with the smiles and the 3 piece suits.

yep totally agree with you but they tend to avoid the rougher estates due to fear of never returning from them. But yeah once word gets out they are about its like a f***ing ghost town.

You do what my mum once did:

I know who you are. You are the morons. And I'm not interested. (slam)

Last we ever saw of them.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I've been on rounds where the word has got around that the god botherers are out in force. You have to shout through the letter boxes that you're a postman for folks to sign stuff. :crazy: It's quite funny really.

I open the letterbox and if the freebies fall on the floor they stay there.

Now there's a thought, the next time I'm visiting people doing Gods work I'll lift the letterbox and shout "Postie here" - maybe I'll get more converts and a cushy number in the great hereafter :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

I just politely say that no coffee, no beer and more than one wife is not for me, and that's the last I hear from them. :nana :nana :nana
