"And I bet you'll be off again tomorrow won't you" from someone that looks as if he's never done a days work in his life.

Had a few customers like that come through the door, you just want to hold your breath and pull the hatch down :Sick

Customers that ask if they can open a surcharge before paying for it, so they can see if they want it or not :crazy:
Ones that ask for Stamps even though there is loads of signs saying 'WE DON'T SELL STAMPS' :arrrghhh
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

What REALLY annoys me is customers who stand the other side of the door watching you stuggle to post a s**t load of stuff through their letterbox, then they open the door when you are half done! :d'oh!

The ones that let thier dogs sit behind the letter box and go for the mail and your hand,the best thing i was taught by a 30 year postman was how to let the dog get hold of the mail and let it fight it and just as its getting to grips with it you let go and see the dog fly ive managed to get the dog at one house demolish the whole stand of ornaments and having the plesure of saying to her face that i'll learn you. :left:

1, seeing them in the house but not answering

2, why you late(something to do with big bag of mail)

3, tell them to sign card at no.2 they sign no.1,no.3 at the bottom anywhere but the right place

4, stopping you in the street looking their mail but not in that load don't understand you can't carry it all at once

5, saying he won't bite honest (yeah right)

6, having minute letter boxes then moaning when you bend xmas cards

7, moaning when they get someone else's mail even thou it's their address

but this is only a minority most of them are nice and respect what we do.

LOL I've put this link in Popular threads.

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

People who leave hanging plant baskets in front of their door, about a month ago i was day dreaming and went right in front of one. It did look better on the front door step than hanging up :lol:

I'd guess you return the mail to the office and mark it A.I.

Or what about the people that put plants etc. in front of their low level letterboxes or those that put things behind their letterboxes that you have no option but to knock them down and break them. :nana
