So today I have had a delivery (well known company ) and I heard him on the ring doorbell , saying quite loudly ….. YOU ORDER ALL THIS BLOODY CRAP , then mumbling (maybe noticed I had a ring and thought he would shut up) , but seriously , is that not your job to deliver parcels ?

I know people moan and that’s normal , but when you’re literally moaning about the main aspect of your job is that not a bit like wtf ?

I do have quite a few parcels from this company but surely it makes no difference to what house you have to deliver to and whether it’s the same one (once a week)

AIBU - let the man have a moan?
AINBU - he should just crack on , and maybe be aware most people have ring doorbells now 🤣

Must admit, if I heard a delivery person say this, I'd think it was quite funny. It must get to them sometimes.

I had a really shitty lacklustre attitude from a supplier at work today, I thought ‘fuck this’ and decided not to proceed with his contract, I’ve gone elsewhere. If someone cba with me, I cba with them.

I have little sympathy for people who complain that I'm paying for a service that pays their wages. If you and others like you weren't buying all that crap, maybe the delivery company wouldn't have hired him. I'm certain he'd have been a ray of sunshine at whatever other job he'd have had, then. 🙄Grumps always find something to grump about.

If he needs to vent, he should have a gripe when he's not literally at the customer's door!

YABU. He's having a shit day and just venting. I think a lot of people who do delivery driver jobs do so because they have no other option.

YABU
Let him moan. Most people moan about their jobs.

I privately and unfairly muttered about a builders van parked outside temporarily today very partially over my drive. I wasn't going anywhere, he was literally 5 minutes and it didn't cause me any issues at all but I still curtain twitched and had a little moan to myself. I didn't care at all really! I often talk to myself as I work from home and enjoy wittering on.
