is it me or are they just getting lazier and more stupid. I'm done with it.
The last 3 months:
My postman despite numerous notes on the door is allergic to my doorbell he just knocks once and then goes away meaning I always have to go to the sorting office before work, then late for work to pick them up.
I have complained three times in writing, all these complaints have been ignored by the post office.
I have asked him in person to ring the doorbell - he just shrugs and walks off.
DPD - waited in for parcels for the entire weekend - my only days off for two weeks. Parcels not delivered because I "was not in". I left a note for them to ring the doorbell, they didn't ring the doorbell. I can't hear knocking through 3 internal doors.
Gardner - I have had 5 quotes from 5 different male gardners who advertise as being free. They came round to have a look and then were never seen or heard of again so that was me waiting in all day.
The 5th gardener quoted a fairly reasonable price, I left money in the shed as I had to go to work, came home, the job is half done, the garden is in a bloody mess, The rubbish hasn't been taken away, he hasn't dug up the shrubs I asked him to dig up. Took the money and what a surprise is uncontactable. i shamed him on the site I got him from and now I am apparently an "old witch" trying to ruin his business.
Plasterer, said he was coming in June, it's now September, this morning he says he is coming at the end of September. It seems he has a more important job on than my. Same with the decorator and the carpet layer. Would it kill him to contact me and keep me updated.
All I want is for the work to be done by winter so I can relax in my own home.
The patronising shitty attitudes from all these men is beyond belief.
Went for a coffee, it arrived cold. I said to the male owner, sorry but the coffee is cold can you warm it up a bit. He stood there shouting me down - I wasn't shouting I was very polite as always - in front of all the other customer, I was the only person to ever complain about the coffee blah blah blah, making me look like a right fool. I just walked out, I don't allow strange men to shout at me, his abuse followed me all the way to the street.
There is more but the post would be too long to read.
They are lazy, stupid and greedy and think any woman my age is a complete foot. I'm bloody sick of it.
I had to get it out of my system. Yes I'm sure there are good men out there but where the fuck are they?
