Melanius Mullarkey Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 6 hours ago, oaksoft said: Not sure if it's petty or not but went down the post office today to post a parcel. I've been doing this every day for months. The staff know me, plenty of friendly and polite conversation. This week, the politeness has vanished and replaced with a surly "Whit's in the package"? It's as though they have never seen me. In fairness they are doing it with everyone. I understand they are just doing their jobs but is it beyond their intelligence to ask "Is there anything on that prohibited list over there in this package?" f**k all compliant "just doing my job" employees. You are all mini-Hitlers making people's lives just a little bit more shit every day without actually contributing anything. Unusually for me, because I am normally tee-total, I have had a couple of cans of Grolsch. Maybe 3. 4 at the most. I lost count TBH. I still think I am justified in being seriously pissed off at this intrusion of my privacy. From now on, every parcel will contain "a semen sample for the local university" or "a battery-free sex toy". Feeling better for getting that off my chest. Go and check you’re lavvy m8. That might cheer you up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 How can you lose count at 3 or 4? It's almost as if these stories are slightly embellished or even completely made up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I was angrier when I was sober. I do accept though, that there are people like yourself who have no problems with giving away your privacy. I expect you are probably happy at the hairdressers or the supermarket queue when they ask you what you've been up to today or at the bank when they ask you where you are off to after you deposit your money. I, on the other hand, bought a shaver to save myself from the thrice annually hairdresser hell and use the cash deposit machine and self-serve tills as often as I can. Life is much sweeter as a result.Howard Hughes started off like this. It’ll be tissue paper next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would mean you reading the entire list and delaying people behind you in the queue. Whereas if they simply ask you what the parcel contains they will know instantly if it's permitted or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) The Scotland tie is fucking gash. I also judge managers on the state of their tie: Far too high up and shite knot.
