Am I REALLY that unreasonable?
« on: December 10, 2009, 10:53:14 PM »
I've just been given 'down the banks' by Mrs G for ranting at a parcel delivery geezer wanting me to take a parcel in for one of my neighbours at 10:30PM! eeek:
I suggested that p'raps the reason he got no reply was because they may possibly have gone to bed FFS, and was this the new very early, or should that be very late improved delievery service that Parcel Force are now offering?
He hadn't even got a pen for me to sign his poxy dog eared sheet, and then he proceeded to try taking MY pen off me, bloody great tit. cussing:

Mrs G then launches into a personal tirade of abuse at me for being so bad tempered with everyone...apparently, so she say's like. ::)
Is it ANY bloody wonder! Banghead

The guy got off exceedingly lightly imo. He should in eccence be walking around with a 3' square box bulging out of the back of his gruns. cussing:

Perfectly reasonable. I would not open my door to a stranger at 10.30 pm. And the Parcelfarce whelk can return during working hours.

Next time let wifey answer the door if she wants to.

Are they being paid by the amount of parcels they actually deliver these days then  ( or is that part of his temping contract  rubschin: ) ?

Anyways - he's probably off work due to stress now  whistle:

Probblee, yes.
What made it all the more iritating and didn't exactly help my feelings of good will towards him, was that he was one of those 'loud happy jolly all smiley smiley' people, just like out mealey mouthed milkman. sick2:
