even though the postie is deaf?
We live in a building with about 40 apartments and used to have a fantastic postman who would know neighbours and leave parcels with them, come up the lift and knock on our door with Signed For items etc and was generally extremely helpful. He was sacked.
New postman (in last 2 weeks) has left 4 'While You Were Out' cards even though I've been in each time (maternity leave). I caught up with him on the last occasion and gathered that because he is deaf he can't ring our door bells and so leaves all the parcels at the depot (no fun driving there every sodding week with a toddler and no place to park) and just brings the cards. So I will never get a parcel delivered and neither will our neighbours. I do a lot of eBaying and Amazon stuff as I have a toddler and am 8 months pregnant.
I don't get it. It's a breach of contract, surely? Why has the Royal Mail put him on a beat he can't fulfil?
But I can't shrug off the feeling that I'm going to come across as Larry David in a Curb episode.
