we always have different ones haha! i also remember having something delivered broken as the postie tried to squeeze it through the letterbox and broke it as it was clearly unsuitable to be delivered through the letterbox oh and near one christmas we was out and the postman left a parcel on the doorstep as we wasn't there, it could of been robbed by a passer-by!!

we have that trouble with parcels being left on the door around christmas every year too! but i think thats moreso delivery people instead of postmen. but if it is our postman, he is generally quite good so can't complain!

Right....
Do postmen not use alarm clocks anymore? Five past friggin three my post came yesterday. I remember the times when your mail was delivered before you even left for school.
Can postmen not read? Got to Dad's this morning to find the postman had thrown something through the window because it wouldn't fit through the letterbox...despite it saying in big letters - LIVE PLANTS, HANDLE WITH CARE. So there's bits of leaves, soil and crap all over the office. I saw him coming up other side of road half hour later so I went and asked him why he did it. His response...."errrr, well errrr no one in". Well, leave it at the side of the back door, or with a neighbour. Or take it to sorting office and we'll collect it...I took his name and a complaint is already with Royal Mail.
Lastly, last time I went to the post office in town i was pretty much forced to use a self service machine. So not only do we have to deal with sizes as well as weights but we also have to do it our fucking selves now do we? I was shocked and mightily confused by the sodding machine (which doesn't accept notes btw, so it's coins or card) that I didn't say owt. But next time they either pay me for doing the cashier's job for them, or I deal with a human being.
Ahhhh...that's better!

Our postman tends to walk through a line of trees in the morning into the garden with a clear 'please walk round' sign on it. I wouldn't mind, but my dad puts so much time and effort into that garden that it doesn't seem fair that some idiot just walks straight through the plants and ruins the trees!

what irritates me about mine is that when he puts things through the door he folds them, even thin letters! its like why can't you put them through as they are!! my letter box is huge really!

bloody Royal Mail ... we've not had any post since Monday so I went down to the sorting office to ask why and they said "in the summer, so we don't have to get temporary staff in to cover holidays, your mail is delivered if postmen on other rounds have time"
WTF!?
Today, I got about 4 days worth of post. One which had a first class stamp was postmarked the 5/7 ... that should NO WAY take 4 days to arrive!
Utterly ridiculous ... a complaint has been lodged.

Why the hell does my postman knock (well tap it - 'cos its hard to hear) once, then write a card thing and bugger off quickly with the parcel in his van to the sorting office *Givemetimetogetdownstairssssandknockthedoorharder*

I used to be a postman and oh how the public used to make me laugh I had a bloke complain once that I'd made him late for work because I was half an hour late.....with his giro ! and then there was the bloke in a very exclusive area of Torquay who once called me the 100 yards back to his door by sayin "would you like a Christmas tip?.......make sure you shut the fu**ing gate when you leave". and don't get me started on the people who complained their Giro was wet when it was pissing down !! and what really made me laugh "he's never bitten anyone before "

my uncle is also a postman, and it does seem to go both ways! he puts up with so much shit from the general public for no reason. I've been on a few rounds with him when I was a wee bairn and the abuse in one day was just horrendous, and all down to the roads having not been gritted in the ice, and him working a route of narrow country lanes in derbyshire! hardly his fault!

It annoys me when folks don't do it here ...

It annoys me when folks don't do it here ... agreed ,I always left the gate as I found it , I've had the comment "how am I supposed to get my motorbike out if you shut the gate" no win situation I guess
