A map? That'd be a step forward for the poor devils in our office.

It's national doorbell day today!

https://nationaldaycalendar.com/nationa ... ctober-31/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

On October 31, doorbells will ring more than any other day of the year. National Doorbell Day recognizes the little buzzer, unique tones, and rings that alert us to visitors to our doors every day of the year.

More than 41 million American children dress up and trick-or-treat every Halloween. In honor of the workout the door chime will receive, National Doorbell Day recognizes J.Ralph Corbett, the inventor of the first NuTone brand melodious door chime.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Engage visitors with a riddle or tongue twister to celebrate the day. Greet family members with a password or trivia question about the doorbell to gain entry. Enjoy the festivities and stay safe this Halloween! Use #NationalDoorbellDay to share on social media

NuTone™ founded National Doorbell Day to celebrate the innovative development of the first melodious door chime invented by J.Ralph Corbett during the Great Depression. His invention replaced the buzzers and knockers that often alerted residents to visitors. Today, NuTone is proud to announce the launch of NuTone Knock™, the company’s revolutionary new video doorbell that allows homeowners to see and talk to visitors from anywhere in the world using their smartphone.

The Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed National Doorbell Day to be observed annually beginning in 2017.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
My BFF Clash
The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

One customer today didn't have ID and no prove of address, he chucked a wobbly for over twenty minutes and started taking photos of everybody.

And for others, Apparently we hand over items to people with the same surname now, they don't have to live at the same address, they don't have to have the addressee's ID, just the same surname is enough according to the manager.

FFS !! !!

Doesn't work when you're put on a new walk & faced with a terrace of houses that are numbered 14,15,16,16,17,18,17,15,14 all in one row without any name plates showing which 'road' they belong to. And no the two 16s next to each other is not a typing error. :crazy:
