The Annoyance of Certain People

Tweet

So I just want to express the annoyance I have with the nerve of some people. Background information: I run 4 paper routes every Wednesday and Friday as it pays my OSAP payment each month, I relatively enjoy the people on the routes, and I get 2-3 hours of exercise on these days. So for the past while there has been this one house that just wasn't picking up their papers, and they would leave them in a stack outside their front door... now most of the time they would be okay there, but sometimes the papers would go all across their front lawn. So since they hadn't been picking up their papers in over a month or so, I asked the route advisor on whether or not I should be delivering there. They said not to bother, as it would seem that the people did not care much for the papers. The route advisor called today and said that this particular house called and complained about not getting their papers. I am annoyed. If you want your papers, 1) don't leave them for over a month, stacked outside your front door and 2) let me know if you want them or not... it's not like I can read your mind and it is not that difficult to leave me a note. I trek all the way up their great long country drive way to place a single paper in front of their door... the least they can do is pick it up when they get home. Frustrated at the lack of manners people have. Every one else that I deliver to loves me, loves the service I provide, tips me,and picks their papers up. Not to mention most of them have a specific place I can put them so that they do not blow all across their front lawns on windy days. Now of course I must give them the benefit of the doubt. But really people? C'mon. Rant done.
