to tell DD to put 35 leaflets through this arsehole's letterbox?

DD does a magazine drop once a month. She delivers about 1500 local magazine things. It takes her days and days of trundling around.

Every single bloody month we get a call from the newspaper office saying someone has complained they haven't got their magazine (said person advertises in it. Understandably an advertiser wants to know if thier paid for advertisement is getting delivered but D is very conscientious and does actually deliver all 4 million magazines).

The first time this person complained she made sure she went back and delivered another one and since then has obviously delivered to that address.

So - this morning - another phonecall.

would it be unreasonable for DD to go and deliver all 35 left over magazines to this address. He is obviousluy an utter first class shit trying to wangle free advertising by lying about my lovely DD.

Yanbu but might not be the best lesson for your dd.

Get her to take a photo of herself delivering it.

Go with your DD to his house, explain that you have heard that magazine wasnt delivered, get him to sign a form you make that acknowledges receipt, smile sweetly and say you will do this every month just to make sure he has it

I'd go with her and photograph her putting the magazine through his door. Then when he complains that he hasn't had one delivered, you can prove he is a liar.

get her to knock and gain a signature for it.

rude bugger.

TheSleepFairy · 18/03/2011 13:03

Or is it prick stick? I'm not sure Grin

VinegarTits · 18/03/2011 13:03

stick magazine in a bottle...filled with petrol...and light

blackeyedsusan · 18/03/2011 13:09

now now vinegar, tempting, but how will he see his advertising if it is a little singed around the edges, and how will ops dd deliver if there is no longer a door to hold the letterbox?

Gracie123 · 18/03/2011 13:10

Vinegar!!! Shock

And here I was thinking it would be terrible to put a burning bag of dog shite on his front step...

cheesesarnie · 18/03/2011 13:12

draw a rude picture on the front of the magazinge so that when he calls to moan about that,she can say 'got it then'

Bathsheba · 18/03/2011 13:12

I suspect he just wants some free copies to hand out for himself, hence asking continually for more than his alloted.

Just get her to put 3 through the next time, then he'll have some spares.

Playing devils advocate here, but is it possible that the magazine is being binned by someone else in the house? I throw all of those newspapers, magazines away without even looking at them, and when we first moved in had people ringing the bell demanding that I return their Avon book or something..
I wouldn't know what I'd thrown out if I was asked - we get loads of magazines, papers etc each week.
Or he could just be awkward Grin
