The Postman…going postal?.

    Had a chat with the postman on the way to work. He was’nt happy..”all these extra parcels/packages” ,nearly 70+ packages on top of his normal. In fairness to him , his bike was weighed down with 4 massive bags of post, and he was struggling to push it along. It looked like it weighed a ton . I would find it tough pushing it down my road, never mind around the area.
    So I though I would cheer him up and congratulated him on his new helper.
    “What new helper?”
    Well I said ..........on a couple of occasions over the past few months ,a guy in a ford fiesta has been delivering some of our post ,mainly packages, DVD’s ,books etc.
    This did not make our postman happy, as I thought it would. In fact it made him quite angry , he went off muttering that he would be reporting it. Although his bike seemed a lot lighter, as he sped into the distance(poetic licence).

    Anger sets you free!.:D

    Given his mood, I will be keeping a low profile and avoid walking near bell towers and tall buildings.

    Same in my area, the postwoman has to do 2 runs on the bike, one in the morning, delivering letters, and one in the afternoon delivering the bigger packages.

    The OP's ex-college roommate, who we all thought died at the start of the story!
