It was either going to be a Newman mailroom reference, or a Newman rickshaw reference.

There's a street the next suburb over that has a name very similar to my streets name. Whenever i get mail or parcels accidently delivered to my house that were supposed to go to the house in the other street with the same number as mine i always drive over there (it's a 3 minute drive) and hand deliver their mail. Always. It's not hard.
But when they get stuff wrongfully delivered that was meant for my house they NEVER drive over and give me my stuff. Not once. Ever. They instead take it to the post office. One time a parcel of mine went all the way back to it's country of origin before lobbing on my doorstep.
From now on these people can **** off. I'm just gonna stuff their mail in the nearest mail box without any stamps and hope it ends up as land fill somewhere. **** 'em.

I have a very similar problem, although there are three streets: Spring Park, Springbank and Springwood. We always get mixed up. It's not that ****ing hard.

At a quick glance the Koch and Rock thread title can look like something entirely different.

Hey Don Juan is back!

How was the break?

That job was hardcore. I only did it because i was "between jobs" and owned a Toyota Hiace. I did it for 6 months and saw two people have nervous breakdowns in that time. I truly learnt the meaning of the term "going postal". The pressure was unbelievable. THE MAIL JUST KEEPS COMING AND COMING!!!!!

I did a similar job as a summer job. Loved it. Would work like a tropper for a couple of hours sprinting around doing the deliveries, then chill for the rest of the day playing playstation at my mates house. Had a great system.

Yeah, I did it from October thru March one year. The early starts were the worst part, but like you said, once you get the whole thing down as second nature it's not too bad. Mondays were nuts with all the weekend backlog to deal with, sometimes up to 350 parcels to deliver. Wine crates, especially in the lead up to Xmas, sucked huge balls. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I'd be finished by 8.30-9.00am.

Much happier with what I'm doing now though

Being that I generally started knocking on doors at around 7.00am I did see my share of semi nude women who i'd rustled out of bed to sign for the registered stuff. It was a small "win" for getting out of bed and starting work at around 4.30-5.00am.

We sometimes get the mail from across the road in our letter box. Pretty easy to cross the road and put it in theres without any problem. We got one in our letterbox from them with a big post it note on it saying "your mail was in our letterbox at #xxx, we do not want your mail, please ensure this doesnt happen again".

Felt like going over and saying 'hey ****wit, Im not the ****ing postie".

The problem with Adelaide is that everything is packed all into the one month. Then nothing.

Keep the note and stick it on the next letter of theirs that turns up in your letterbox.

That'll learn the ****ers.

This. What sort of w@nker puts a note like that on?? Would deliver a steaming dog turd to letter box with a note saying 'Thought this belonged to you, given you have shit for brains'.

Just wondering about this Friday nights game when we find out if PED use is more of an advantage than draft tampering/salary cap rorting.

Maybe the winner should be given a suspicious looking brown paper bag

Its a slow day....

You'd want to do that, but ............. the situation would escalate.
