Had a parcel for someone today, rang the doorbell ,no answer, rang again still no answer so wrote a docket out and was just about to put it through the letter box when the door opened and there stood a woman looking like she had the right hump, I said to her that I think her doorbell wasn't working and she replied "I was having a sh#t if that's ok with you", and all I could reply was "well I hope you washed your hands.

Always best to stay out of repossession proceedings.
It is always a highly emotional time.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

A customer took forever to find their keys and come to the door. I said, "you wouldn't last long in a fire would you". Got a complaint for that one
