Have got into a stupid situation with my postman and am just wondering whether iabu or if he is (or possibly both of us)
On Monday morning I stepped outside to find one of those big postmans bags, with royal mail written on it, on my door step. It was empty other than a large empty canister of oil.
I didn't want to throw it away as it wasn't mine and I thought the postman might have left it accidentally plus my bin is full.
So I left it to one side in the garden incase he picked it up on his way back. I saw him on Wednesday (must have missed him Tuesday) and nicely said "I think you or another postman forgot your bag on Monday" and showed him it.
Him: yeah? ( as in the stroppy teenager yeah and....?)
Me: I didn't want to throw it away as its bit mine and I thought it might have been lost
Him: just chuck it in the bin
Me: my bin is full
Him: you want me to throw it over the fence?
(into someone else's garden!)
Me: umm no....
Him: I'll stick it in the van on my way back up
Me: ok thanks
He never bothered, and it's annoyed me. I can throw it in the bin when they have been collected but I am annoyed at his attitude, that he feels my garden or next doors is his own personal dumping ground and that he said he would take it and didn't. It's one of the big bags and will take up a lot of space in a bin that's just enough for a family of 5.
I know it sounds like I am obsessed with bins!
