I'm a 'dude' apparently.

Post by Thorby Bislam »

I got called a 'dude' today. For the first time ever. I dont know whether to be :cool or :roll:

Had a recorded packet, knocked on the door, man answered.
"Could you print and sign here please"
"OK dude"
"thank-you" and gave him his packet.
"Thanks dude"

A little thing, but it brightened my day.

Thorby the dude. :chuckle
Just spilt stain-remover down my shirt. Now how do I get that out?

That's the thing about dudes. You don't get called dude ever and then someone calls you dude twice in one conversation.
Was your interlocutor a native to these shores or was there a little of the Antipodean in him?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

No, he was a local. Or at least he sounded local.
Actually, he looked not unlike DGP's pic. Only without all the the hair, lipstick and squiggly line on his chin.
I'm not complaining about it. It just seemed amusing. Us delivery postmen have to take our pleasures when and where we can. Lord knows, they're seldom enough.

Dude, you make no mention of yer man's bong ( next to him in the pic - must be cos he looks totally monged, dude ), and frankly, you need to be mashed to think that stupid "soul patch" beard looks good, dude....

He should follow the way of a great style icon...

I was called a thief yesterday
was covering the callers office till it closed at 1500.
Was going out on collections when an older guy with an obvious bad hip came into the yard to pick up a special delivery item which had been 739d. Even though callers office closed I opened the safe, powered up the PDA and got him to sign for it and made to go put back the PDA, while hoping I'd make my time up on collections, when he shouted me back.
"I got a parcel yesterday that was ripped, you are all theiving b....... in Royal Mail" he hissed.
C'est la Vie?
