Idiot delivery driver

[keith1983]

I was off work yesterday looking after my 3 year old daughter who has chicken pox. We're sat watching Peppa Pig when a random bloke walks into our back garden and comes up to our French doors that lead from our living room to our back garden. I point to him to go round to the front of the house. The conversation goes like this:

Me: "Hello mate, are you lost, you've just walked straight through my back garden"

DD: "I know, I've got a delivery to make"

Me: "Is there a reason you didn't come to the front door?"

DD: "This way is shorter"

Me: "In future you need to come to the front door, not wander through my back garden"

DD: "But it's shorter"

Me: (getting pretty fed up of the moron by now) " I don't care if it's shorter, the front door is for the general public, we don't mind family and friends using the back door, but you are neither of those, so it's the front door for you"

DD: "Do you want me to deliver the f*&%ing parcel?"

Me: "I couldn't care less, just do what you're going to do quickly as I'd rather be watching Peppa Pig than wasting my time with you"

At this point he basically threw the parcel at me and shoved the electronic signature under my nose. I signed it, and shut the front door. I went back to the living room to see this braindead moron had gone back round the back to exit.

I've noted his reg and have the tracking number off the parcel. I have made a complaint.

Am I being harsh on him or would you have complained too?

[Mark Evison]

No mate your not being harsh at all i would do the same. He shouldnt be in your back garden at any time! what if you had a dog in there and it savaged him. He should knock on your front door end of.

[keith1983]

He really had missed the point that I was the customer. I've got no problems with genuine mistakes. If he'd said "oh sorry mate, I'll come to the front next time" then that would have been that. It was his attitude as much as what he'd done that wound me up.

i would have signed F--- You on his machine

What a Plonker - The front door is what it says FRONT - The back door is for private use. The back garden should be a safe haven for children and your pets and is NOT for some lazy plonker to jeopodise their safety, if you hadn't known he was there and your child was in the gardne and he left the gate open, God forbid what could have been the result.
Very reminiscent of the other idiot throwing a flat screen over the wall!
Complain about him.

[Rob12]

Also he swore in your back garden maybe in ear shot of your little one. We keep our back gate padlocked so dogs can't be let out.

[KSD]

Ignorant pr**K, you did well to keep your cool mate. Soon as he swore and started getting rude I would probably have sparked him out, not in view of the tot of course! Report him.

[AndyMaz]

How much shorter is it? I can't imagine it's that much more of an effort to go round to the front door!

Cheeky f**ker. I think you're well within your rights to complain.
