Unexpected registered post - what is it???? Am I getting arrested

panicking · 2018-05-31 20:08:36

I came home from work to a letter saying that I had missed the delivery of a registered letter. It was too late to collect it this evening so I have to wait until the morning before work to get it.

Just think about it.

It’s someone who wants an official record and proof that you have received something.

That’s not done for your benefit.

If you don’t collect it, it will more than likely come by ordinary post So you will more than likely find out anyway.

I’ve had registered letters that I didn’t bother collecting.

Funny enough a TV license “fill in this declaration” came a few days later by ordinary post.

I've received many registered letters and none were ever anything untoward.

May be for the previous tenant.

Just collect the blasted thing.

Fair enough, but is there a chance she might have missed an item of post?

Did you ever hear of an Irish mammy that she missed anything? At all?

Registered letters are never good news.

Not that I am trying to alarm you or anything.

Well, it would appear that he “registered” just to “post” this!

I'm betting it's your mammy sending you money for some occasion cos if she's anything like mine she "doesn't trust the fecking robbing postal service" and has 20 euro in a card,then in a brown envelope and then registered it,just to be sure..

There was a similar case four years ago. Sadly we never found out what was in that letter.

You dont have to collect it.

It will be returned to sender.

What you don’t know can’t hurt you.

Thank you; I never accept registered post as it almost never shows a return address so no idea where it is from until too late.

Postman does not like it but tough!

I can't believe boards is reduced to this drivel.

Grow a pair op. It's a bloody letter not the end of the world.

A lot of stuff from Wish and Ali Express comes as registered post now.
Also Amazon and eBay comes as express post.

It's probably some crap that you ordered from China 4 months ago and forgot about.

If the last two.letters on the barcode or number inserted are not IE, it's not posted within Ireland,if it is then I'd pack a bag and get the first ferry,wear a hat and sunglasses,drop passport in the 2nd bin you find once you get off the boat (they only check first bin) ,pay 500 quid for a new identity,lay low for 6 months,come back here and fill us in on what happened.

That's because when you read the letter you die!!!
Obviously there can be no other explanation.
