Amazon prime !

yesterday one of their vans pulled up across my drive a minute later I noticed the driver walking towards my door. I didn't have anything on order but started heading down to the door before I could get there a parcel was launched through my letter box. I picked it up and realised he had the wrong house.

I have a big sign on my wall with the house name and number which he'd ignored. I opened the door and shouted but he continued to his van so I followed and was waving at him as he tried to pull away again he ignored me.

So I ended up having to deliver it for him ! :roll:


Walked our dog one morning, it was "recycle bin" day, i saw 3 boxes under a hedge away from they houses, i thought the wind had blown them away from the bins, coming back I checked and the 3 boxes were unopened with labels all for local addresses, i carted them home, did FB searches, found the 2 persons they were intended for, 1 wanted me to deliver them 2 miles down the road!

(they didnt contain Rolex watches)

they were told the driver would be with them 10pm the night before

Got sent a letter requiring a urine test with the test paperwork but you have to visit the surgery to collect a sample bottle had to queue for over half an hour just to collect it ! :roll:

Numpties who spend for f***ing ever paying at the airport carpark barrier.

Pay in the carpark before you leave, it might even save you money if you get stuck behind another numpty at the barrier. :sad:

getting shouted at by a cyclist for not getting out of his way whilst he was cycling by me on the footpath. No bell and a low flying light aircraft distracting me so didn't hear him coming up behind me

he swerved onto the road (facing oncoming traffic) and back onto path but wasn't happy !
