Getting your parcel/packet before it gets delayed by managerial incompetence!

Respect! They all think, Oh or only a postman. But they say it because they are jealous, jealous that we are well paid, pension, camaraderie male and female. Most off those I joined with said,"I'll try it till I getting something better and are still here 10/20/30 years later. RM is still a job for life. Despite what the sinics say.

Ha Ha

Don't like it myself either!

Not necessarily the best thing but whenever I have to take my car to a garage or need tradesmen to do work on the house I always make a point of making them aware I'm a postie... the psychology being that they'll do a good job for me or I'll be telling all my customers not to use them!

Equally they might think their postie is a w****r and spit on your dipstick.

Best thing about being a postie? Knocking on someone's door, especially older folk and chatting for a minute, you're probably the only person that they see that day and it is a great feeling. And getting to know people on your round and getting waves and hello's from them even on your day off.

Working outside instead of in a stuffy office.
You mainly rely on yourself when working.
You can rely on most of your co-workers in a pinch.
Well respected amongst the community you work in.
Decent pay (at the moment).
Keeps you fit.
Once delivering its not that stressful.
Community Spirit.
The Camaraderie.
Christmas Tips. (non-monetary ones are the best)

Have to agree with those points
