Customers saying "you're working late today" and stating the bleedin obvious when you have been told to start at 11am because they are short of vans! And it's always the same kind of people who say it! The one's with nothing between their ears!

Also, having to work when it's pouring down.

Walking past someone in the front garden after they have outstretched their arm to take the post. Then putting it through the letter box, you walk away and they mutter something...Why didn't you say "I'll take that"?........ F**K off sh*t for brains!

Walking past someone in their front garden and put mail through the letterbox, because it's easier than deciding whether to hand the mail to them or post it the normal way.
They then turn round to a family member and say "Am I invisible"?
