This bloody milkman

cloud493

About six weeks ago now, this bloke came round the house, said he was starting a milkman service, asking if I was interested. His prices were even more of a rip off than centra, so I politely declined, as is the way.

Skip forward to about 2 weeks ago, knock on the door. Its some 11 year old girl, with a waiting car, giving me a bill 'for the milk' I told her we hadn't signed up for the milkman service, she gave me the bill anyway. At the time, that was 39 euro. We hadn't asked for milk, or got any, so I assumed it'd just go away. Wrong. This girl has been every day, and the bills gone up, every day. Absolute nonsense. Bout 20 minutes ago, the bloke in question turned up, rang the bell about 7 times, hammered on the window, banged the letterbox. Didn't leave for about 20 minutes

What do I do about this AH?

Don't take the bill, tell him to stick it up his arse and get off your property!

If he refuses ring the gardai

I can see this getting very messy!

Did he have a big mustache ? Where was your missis while you were being distracted like this ?

Milkmen do it on your doorstep.

dodderangler

That's harassment so it's Garda issue now

admiralofthefleet

thats no way to be talking about your da, op

Pottler

Jasus, the RIRA are stooping lower and lower.:eek: I did hear they were creaming it for years but this is the tops. You have to admire his bottle though, crate idea.

Micky Dolenz

Answer the door and tell him to feck off, or call the local Gardai

No one should make you feel like a prisoner in your own home.

Royal Legend

Has your wife anything to say about this, my best guess is that your other half has been getting a daily delivery behind your back

mikemac1

He doesn't want to talk to you

He's after your wife!

cloud493

I'd like to iterate, I was very clear about not wanting milk. His prices were outrageous, so I just said 'no thanks mate, not looking for milk or anything' closed the door.

I think it's time to get LACTOSE INTOLERANT Op.

It's simple.........kill the milkman!

You really should pay the viper.;)

Don't rush into things: you don't want to unnecessarily sour your relationship with a potentially successful local businessman. Let some posters float some ideas before you act.
If this guy does turn out to be a bit dodgy (and he probably will) then don't worry: the cream always rises to the top.
And if you do end up with a big bill, don't let your anger boil. Develop a thick skin, don't get too hung up on it: there's no use crying over spilt milk.

Does he sell UHT milk?

Is he a careful man................ A very careful man

What do I do about this AH?

what would Pat Mustard do?

it could also be the new way the RIRA collect protection money.

Jake the dog

Find out who he is distributing for, e.g. Avonmore, Premier etc, I'm sure an angry call to the supplier will put him straight.

Rigol

Ah can see you madam.
Ah can see you on your internets.
Ah am outside your house madame.

Mah name is Augustus Kwembe, you must pay the monies so we can provide you the milk madame.

Please type for me your sort code number so I can return the milks to you madame. Ah am a legitimate milkman.

Dangerous Man

Call the Guards and get even more frustrated when they inevitably say 'there's nothing we can do.'

You'll have to deal with it yourself, I'm afraid.

cloud493

I think its avenmore. He's never actually given us any milk, yet his bill is now up to 57.40. Absolute madness.

100% Agree.

Op, this guy is going to call around again.
You got to open the door and tell him whats what. You didnt get any milk. If he gets abusive? ... tell him to fuck right off!

A person shouldnt take any crap in life... but of course, we sometimes have to with jobs or what not. But never, ever, under any circumstances take crap off some dickhead at your door, on your property. Let alone for a dickhead who is trying to get you to cough up for something you didnt even ask for or recieve.

Fuinseog

usually I would sign some form of contract if I wanted delivery of something like milk.get his car reg and report him to the guards.

I would open the door and deal with with calmly. maybe he made a genuine mistake and got the wrong house. I have not seen a milk man in years.

liam7831

He called to my house too I took his Reg and put it into Cartell
CI 15.. Its registered to Craggy Island Creamery

Royal Legend

have you any cats that could be robbing the milk off of the doorstep before you get out of bed?

tin79

Video camera - make sure to get his face and car reg on your video.

Youtube - sorted.

why didn't you walk out to the waiting car and ask the driver whats the story?

ShooterSF

Post about it on a web forum!

cloud493

I assumed it was just a mistake, he'd realize when he looked at his bill, no problem.

BillyMitchel

Haha

What did you do, hide underneath the window? Why didn't you answer the door and say we don't get your milk from him? I'm sure he has it written down who gets milk. OP did you use it and think he wouldn't notice? Is your address on the receipt? Why even take it off the little girl?

He'll keep adding on and on if you're not upfront with him. Them milk rounds used to be worth a fortune.

or students, though you normally consent to a milk delivery before they deliver.

There is a guy in our area who sells fruit and veg door to door but with supermarkets everywhere I do not know how he does any business.

the travellers are still selling their carpets.

Royal Legend

I had a similar problem lately, some guy claiming he was from the council called to the door claiming I owed him some tax for me house, first of all it was €100, then the cn ut came back claiming I owed him interest as well, I told him I owned me house and to do one before I called the garda, he said the garda would do nothing and that I would have to pay. You have to stand up to these cn uts, open the door and tell this "milkman" that one, you didn't ask for milk, two, you didn't get milk and three that if he doesn't get stop calling around that you will end him.

Pottler

OP, you need a delivery of some new balls, install them, and then answer the door(YOUR OWN FECKIN DOOR)confidently and tell him to go forth and multiply. With a bit of luck, he will chin you one, and you can then take him to the cleaners for assault. That or he will feck off. This is actually a nuts thread, btw. Unreal. Grow some and man up to him ffs.

Crazy isnt it :P
Back in the day, or even up to the early 90s I should say, milkmen was a great job to have. Funny the way certain professions just fade away along with the times.


Wonder what current job in these times will fade away.

And when the girl showed up the following day why didn't you walk out to the car and talk to the driver?

Get your misses to answer the door next time and try this ...

Cos either the girl posted it through the letterbox, or the car wasn't near by.
