Tell him if he asks nicely and in a polite manner, you might consider it! Otherwise, tell him to shut the gate himself!

Oh and everyday the owner shouts at it as it does it too and says not again! Would of thought they'd have the sense to put a box up!

I once put some photographs through a door, there was a cage but it seemed the lid must've been open and they flipped over and out of the cage as I put them through; I watched through the glass door as the dog totally destroyed these photographs! Felt guilty about it.

Dog walkers that expect YOU to move out of the way of THEM.

The bloody dogs walking around within my duty, I have absolutely no problem moving out of their way...the drooling, wild eyed benefit funded Baskerville mutts.

I move out of the way of most of the owners when they're on their own too...the drooling, wild eyed benefit funded bastard mutts

Zanussi and Electrolux garden furniture and you'd be describing my duty.

Don’t have my own round, but often get shafted with non drivers and slow pokes on heavy duties.
Does having to put up with the managers bollocks when cutting off count?

All letter boxes at the bottom of a door should be banned because of injury to a Postman/woman's back. Other countries have banned these letter boxes. The UK should follow suit. When out delivering most of the day, these letter boxes are an absolute pain literally. BAN BAN BAN

When you try a few neighbours with a parcel and finally find one at home and they say ... ooooh no sorry I don’t know them or I never see them ...

If you are going to try neighbours don't try more than two for any one item.

So far I've broken two wreaths attached to door knockers and have severed halfway through an electric cable that's threaded through a heavy metal letterbox that tries to take your fingers off at the best of times (it's running tree lights outside).

Not seen anything like in the picture yet but if I do, I bet it wouldn't last long either.
