GRIPE #3

Courier companies.
I have problems with them at work when trying to get them to pick something up we want to send.
I have problems with them when I'm driving as their drivers continually cut in front of other cars, double park in busy lanes, ignore traffic signals and generally drive like idiots.
I also have problems with them when something is delivered at home. They operate between 9 and 4. They call at your house and, surprise surprise find no-one home as it is a working day. They leave a card saying that the item can be collected from their depot between 9 and 5.30 Monday to Friday.
Right. Have courier companies not grasped that nowadays mot householders are at work. Why can't they change their operating hours to suit the bloody customer? Oh, I see, their customer is the organisation who sends the stuff. People like Vodafone. It is not the poor bloody sap who receives the parcel. That person has to hang around all day or take time off during a working day to drive miles to pick the item up. What the hell is wrong with having the depot open to say 7PM or on weekends?

When wishes come true

It's like those emails people send at work to inform you something is wrong. By the time you get a call from some sad arse sitting at a desk playing card games the problem has been found and fixed by yours truely without any internet connection several hours previously. Though I could be wrong.WV Sterphyd!

Couriers are unprincipled bastards.

They're almost as bad as marketing managerts and sales people.
