Dear postie.........

[archangel]

In your first post, you say you think you need to have a word with him, then 20 mins later you posted that you had called the complaints line.
That implies that you didn't speak to him first, and went straight to the complaints line. It's only after folks started calling it petty, that you say you did actually try speaking to him.

"Me thinks I need to have a word with him......old fashioned style" I think the the smilie shows that the phrase was tongue in cheek.

I've always wanted to save them all up and then completely wrap his post van in elastic bands while he is doing his rounds

Livestock are castrated using rubber bands, just a thought if the complaint doesn't work

 

[the black fox]

wow 15 elastic bands in a week ,you will soon be able to open a shop ,you could even call it THE BAND OF ANGELS

seriously though as a archangel don't you think you could call down the wrath of god on him ,and smite him with the plague and pestilence biblical style ,tongue in cheek of course .no wonder the countries going to rack and ruin what with posties leaving rubber bands all over the place,i wonder if farage the garage could add this to his keep britain tidy agenda

I know what you meant, but if you had said that you'd already spoken to the postie in the first post then folks reactions may have been different.

My neighbours trees leaves are falling in my garden, I got court proceedings starting next week! The leaves are covering my green grass! My dog has to dodge them to go toilet, inconvenience to her just unacceptable!!

you say that but "your tree leaves are falling onto my property" is one of the most common complaints we get , it competes for the top spot with "your cows are mooing and making too much noise" , although "seagulls from your beach are coming into my garden ... i'm concerned they might have bird flu" is rappidly closing the gap from behind.

Rank outsider " your badgers have broken my lawn sprinkler" lags someway behind in frequency , but scores highly for absolute ridiculousness

Shotgun>letterbox>string is the best answer.

I live in a block of flats, and at the entrance where all the letter boxes are, there are always lots of rubber bands dropped there. Not bothered to mention it to the local office, as already mentioned mail will probably start to go missing. We simply clear them up, whoever gets to the mail first.

Moaning faced git!
Can't believe you made a complaint, it's hardly a major issue.
Don't be surprised if your mail starts going missing.

You should see a Great Dane choking on them, and then the £175 bill to get it removed from her throat. Aye hardly a major issue - put it this way our postie hasn't dropped a single one since.
