lookwhaticando Posted 22 February 2008 Posted 22 February 2008 My postman had a parcel for me. Instead of leaving it with the security people at my apartment (as he did with the other parcel he had for me the other morning) he said he was going to drop it off at my local post office for collection. He indicated that the parcel would be available after 1700hrs on Wednesday. So around 1100 on Thursday, I wandered off down to the post office and handed my delivery notice in. The post office chap said "it's not in yet... " "It says here it should've been here yesterday afternoon, but they never come to me until the next day after 1pm." Fucking postie!

Trav Le Bleu Posted 22 February 2008 Posted 22 February 2008 My posite day today... Got told at 8:15 "We don't need you here in Wigston they are really short at Swan House (Meridian) "But my round is all ready to go and I was really just hoping to do my round today and no overtime. Not feeling too great" "Well they're really short at Swan and need help. It's just one round and it's all ready for delivery. I'm sure they'll pay you extra for the trouble." (Reluctantly) "Ok then" Get in car - drive in heavy traffic to Swan House - takes 30 mins I locate the round that they want me to take out... they haven't finished sorting it yet... 1 hour later I have the sorting finished and I'm ready to go by 10am. Round is in Braunstone - first letter delivered at 10:15 - haven't a clue how the round works and I'm on streets I've never walked down in my life (though at least I have driven down some of them - so I kinda know where I am. The route the round takes seems to be all over the shop and I'm constantly doubling back on myself and walking past places twice needlessly (though this is no surprise - normal Royal Mail efficiency ). I post my last letter at 1.20 pm - not too bad, a little over 3 hours. Back to Swan House by 1.30 - the place is locked up but lights are on - after 10 minutes of hammering on various doors, roller-doors and windows I gain entrance with the 2 parcels I couldn't deliver. I leave them with the Postmaster. "Oh, can you do an extra quarter-round?" "No, sorry. I already told my boss I don't want any overtime today. Not feeling too great." "It's just a quarter. There's nobody else left to do it." (IE, if they don't get they're mail, it'll be MY fault ) "Ok" I walk off swearing bloody revenge under my breath. THIS round is in Leicester Forest East. By the time I have prepped it for delivery, driven out there, stopped at a shop to buy a drink and had 10 mins break (By this point I am a few hours overdue for a break by EU directives) it is 2:10pm. I deliver the final letter by 3:15, somewhat sheepishly and timidly apologising to any customers I meet for "the lateness of their post". As a side-effect of my late finish I am caught in the school run traffic on my way home. I get home at 3:45pm This is officially classified as a "part-time" job Days like this are getting increasingly common I would like to see Adam Crozier on "Back to the Floor!"
Daggers Posted 22 February 2008 Author Posted 22 February 2008 Seriously, the cnut dumped another sodding parcel from amazon in the sodding drive yesterday. I was so angry the pup thought I was having a go at it, so promptly emptied its bladder on the floor. Complaint line assured me that my new complaint (No.4 in eight weeks) would be sent straight to some head honcho. Hopefully, she didn't mean Allen because I don't think he cares that much and I'd rather have someone sober look after matters. The message must be hitting home as posty almost knocked the sodding door down with his banging this morning (why he can't use a sodding door bell is beyond me). Grumpy willy puller then handed over a motherload of mail, must have been all that was left that he'd not managed to open during his one man crime wave from the sorting office. I was really over-nice to him, just to piss him off even more. ****ing willy puller.
Zingari Posted 22 February 2008 Posted 22 February 2008 I've had an idea ; bring back national service for the youngsters, but not the army or military , no, enlist them as postmen and women why ? one of the major problems in society is there are too many young layabout fat b*st*rds and you never see a fat postie do you ? and posties are always wanting more money , so if their jobs went out to young conscripts it would cost less , so everyones a winner ;cheap mail,and less obesity
lildave3 Posted 22 February 2008 Posted 22 February 2008 That's piggist. Pigs are only good for being cooked. And cooked by women no less. Sexist pigs.
Guest Posted 22 February 2008 Posted 22 February 2008 Well my Garmin Forerunner 205 has not been delivered. I wanted it for my 22 mile run this weekend as well.
Daggers Posted 22 February 2008 Author Posted 22 February 2008 Well my Garmin Forerunner 205 has not been delivered. I wanted it for my 22 mile run this weekend as well. The King of Phones happens to have a GPS...maybe you could borrow it. Did Mr.Lisa get on with his run on Sunday?
Guest Posted 22 February 2008 Posted 22 February 2008 The King of Phones happens to have a GPS...maybe you could borrow it.Did Mr.Lisa get on with his run on Sunday? Mrs Lisa ran over 5 miles more than Mr Lisa last weekend. Having not run properly for 3 weeks. The 26.2 is on! BTW, does the so called "King" of phones tell me a) how far I've run, and b) how quickly?
Daggers Posted 29 February 2008 Author Posted 29 February 2008 This week the cnut has helped himself to two football shirts from the Old Fashioned football shirt company, one ticket to Cardiff-City and a couple of Dr.Who comics for the kids. I am almost beyond amazed.
MikeyT Posted 29 February 2008 Posted 29 February 2008 What time do peoples postmen usually arrive? Ours used to come really early in the morning, now we are lucky if it arrives by 4:00 in the afternoon!!!!!
The People's Hero Posted 29 February 2008 Posted 29 February 2008 Mine is fu cking terrible. I really fu cking hate him. I've told him several times - WE HAVE A POSTBOX. His approach is to ring the bell (10 flats) and if you're not in or don't get down to the door quick enough - no mail. He's a fu cking tw at. It's lucky I have to do all the business post as it means I'm at the sorting office/post office anyway so have now arranged to pick ALL my mail up. Seriously though - what a tosser. AND someone signed for some concert tickets, which certainly wasn't fu cking me.

I'm quite lucky, as my mate is a senior manager at the Leicester sorting office, so lost mail isn't much of an issue, although the coont's do have a habit not bothering to leave a card when nobodies at home for signed mail, and the gits leave oversized parcels in my drive way....hurray for privitisation!!!!
The People's Hero Posted 29 February 2008 Posted 29 February 2008 The post office in its entirety is a fu cking shambles. None of the ones who work in Maidstone can do anything. TV License? Don't know how to do it. Forms for lost vehicle tax disc? Nah, we don't have them here. (lie). Special Delivery? Let me get my supervisor. And these are the ones who can speak the fu cking language. It's a mystery to me how the Post Office brand remains so strong. It's antiquated, it's sh it and it takes ages about being sh it. It's not even fast sh it, like mcdonalds. It's queue up for half an hour to be told we can't help/we don't understand this ENGLISH language you speak/you've been standing in the wrong queue. Royal Mail & The Post Office want privatising NOW.

coale39 Posted 29 February 2008 Posted 29 February 2008 Parcel Force are even worse then Royal mail imo. Bunch of retarded monkeys.
Guest Posted 29 February 2008 Posted 29 February 2008 for TNT post, and the wonderful Barry. He personally stamped his details on the card telling us that he'd left my new running shoes with the neighbours. Bless his little cottons.
Daggers Posted 29 February 2008 Author Posted 29 February 2008 I don't believe it. No, they are for the kids. Honest.
