Default Post Office.......again.

Well, our postie really.

This morning I heard letters flop onto the mat in the hall. I was in the kitchen making a drink, so I left them until I'd put a splash of milk in my coffee, only to go through and find the lazy sod had put a card through for a packet wanting a signature and never even bothered knocking, ringing the doorbell or owt

I went outside, but he was long gone.

What an idle prat.

Same thing has happened to me three times recently. I wonder why they do it!

I get the same thing really boils my ****. I think that most of the time they don't carry the item and leave it at the sorting office. This means they save carrying the extra weight and they write out all the cards before they start their round.

Or he was doing you a favour thinking you were asleep and decided not to ring and wake you from your slumber?

I've noticed that the postie in the area that I live in now likes to sign for my recorded deliveries etc and then cram it all into my postbox completely wrecked. What a tosser.

My old postie was an absolutely gentleman and pleasure to deal with. Always friendly and went that extra mile, such as bringing me my parcels on his way home from work in his own time to save any hassle of trying to get to the local depot.

We are lucky to have a postie just like that. He will bring parcels into us to save us the bother too.

Nice bloke to have little chat with as well.
