    lol that reminds me of my brother- he lives in a big square and was waiting on an important letter. As he was going to work he saw postman come into the estate and asked had he any mail for no 12 to which the postman said ya.This is the conversation..

    Bro - Have you got any mail for no 12
    Post - Sure do (walks off)
    Bro -Ah excuse me- can i have it- i live in no 12
    Post - No sorry
    Bro -Why not- i live in no 12 and ive to go to work- im waiting on a letter so can i have my mail
    Post - Can you prove who you are

    My brother then showed him his i.d

    Bro -Now can i have my mail
    Post - No- can you prove you live at no 12
    Bro - What?Ive just showed you my f**king I.D and my names on the letters
    Post -But its a very common name- you could be anyone
    Bro - Right ill go open my front door with my keys then will you give me my letters
    Post -Yes

    So my brother drives back in- opens the front door and yells over to him

    Bro - Now see- can i have my letters now
    Post -Yes wait there till ive delivered the rest of them
    Bro - *stormed over* give me my letters
    Post -I will when i have done the rest of the estate- your house is on the end im not changing my delivery route for you

    Long story short my brother filed a complaint about him

    Your brother sounds like a tool.

    Post man sounds like your typical jobsworth. No empathy for customers, uses the rulebook to the letter when it suits him. Gets pleasure from discommoding members of the public. The sort of guy who wouldn't answer the phone because he's on his tea break or it's a minute past four in the afternoon.

    You mean when he's not working?

    Like everything else, there's good and bad. Had a postman a few years ago who was great but his route changed, the new guy dumps the packages in the garden rather than knock on the door. Nothing has been stolen, but I've lost books to the rain if they're not shrink wrapped.

    Our postman is awful! He's new, well at least new to our area. Our post always came between 8am-10am, but now we're lucky if it comes by 5pm. We're always getting next door's stuff too. I miss our old guy, its the worst if you're waiting for something important.
