This bloody milkman

cloud493 · 21-09-2012 09:40PM #1

About six weeks ago now, this bloke came round the house, said he was starting a milkman service, asking if I was interested. His prices were even more of a rip off than centra, so I politely declined, as is the way.

Skip forward to about 2 weeks ago, knock on the door. Its some 11 year old girl, with a waiting car, giving me a bill 'for the milk' I told her we hadn't signed up for the milkman service, she gave me the bill anyway. At the time, that was 39 euro. We hadn't asked for milk, or got any, so I assumed it'd just go away. Wrong. This girl has been every day, and the bills gone up, every day. Absolute nonsense. Bout 20 minutes ago, the bloke in question turned up, rang the bell about 7 times, hammered on the window, banged the letterbox. Didn't leave for about 20 minutes

What do I do about this AH?

Don't take the bill, tell him to stick it up his arse and get off your property!

If he refuses ring the gardai

I can see this getting very messy!

Markcheese · 21-09-2012 09:43PM

Did he have a big mustache ? Where was your missis while you were being distracted like this ?

Seedy Arling · 21-09-2012 09:43PM

Milkmen do it on your doorstep.

dodderangler · 21-09-2012 09:43PM

That's harassment so it's Garda issue now

admiralofthefleet · 21-09-2012 09:44PM

thats no way to be talking about your da, op

Pottler · 21-09-2012 09:44PM

Jasus, the RIRA are stooping lower and lower.:eek: I did hear they were creaming it for years but this is the tops. You have to admire his bottle though, crate idea.

Micky Dolenz · 21-09-2012 09:44PM

Answer the door and tell him to feck off, or call the local Gardai

No one should make you feel like a prisoner in your own home.

Royal Legend · 21-09-2012 09:44PM

Has your wife anything to say about this, my best guess is that your other half has been getting a daily delivery behind your back

mikemac1 · 21-09-2012 09:44PM

He doesn't want to talk to you

He's after your wife!

cloud493 · 21-09-2012 09:44PM

I'd like to iterate, I was very clear about not wanting milk. His prices were outrageous, so I just said 'no thanks mate, not looking for milk or anything' closed the door.

Tonyandthewhale · 21-09-2012 09:45PM

I think it's time to get LACTOSE INTOLERANT Op.

aaronjumper · 21-09-2012 09:45PM

What a dickhead.

im invisible · 21-09-2012 09:45PM

It's simple.........kill the milkman!

rednik · 21-09-2012 09:47PM

You really should pay the viper.;)

The King of Moo · 21-09-2012 09:47PM

Don't rush into things: you don't want to unnecessarily sour your relationship with a potentially successful local businessman. Let some posters float some ideas before you act.
If this guy does turn out to be a bit dodgy (and he probably will) then don't worry: the cream always rises to the top.
And if you do end up with a big bill, don't let your anger boil. Develop a thick skin, don't get too hung up on it: there's no use crying over spilt milk.

mikemac1 · 21-09-2012 09:48PM

Does he sell UHT milk?

liam7831 · 21-09-2012 09:48PM

Is he a careful man................ A very careful man

What do I do about this AH?

what would Pat Mustard do?

it could also be the new way the RIRA collect protection money.

Jake the dog · 21-09-2012 09:49PM

Find out who he is distributing for, e.g. Avonmore, Premier etc, I'm sure an angry call to the supplier will put him straight.

Rigol · 21-09-2012 09:49PM

Ah can see you madam.
Ah can see you on your internets.
Ah am outside your house madame.

Mah name is Augustus Kwembe, you must pay the monies so we can provide you the milk madame.

Please type for me your sort code number so I can return the milks to you madame. Ah am a legitimate milkman.

Dangerous Man · 21-09-2012 09:51PM

Call the Guards and get even more frustrated when they inevitably say 'there's nothing we can do.'

You'll have to deal with it yourself, I'm afraid.

cloud493 · 21-09-2012 09:52PM

I think its avenmore. He's never actually given us any milk, yet his bill is now up to 57.40. Absolute madness.

100% Agree.

Op, this guy is going to call around again.
You got to open the door and tell him whats what. You didnt get any milk. If he gets abusive? ... tell him to fuck right off!

A person shouldnt take any crap in life... but of course, we sometimes have to with jobs or what not. But never, ever, under any circumstances take crap off some dickhead at your door, on your property. Let alone for a dickhead who is trying to get you to cough up for something you didnt even ask for or recieve.

Fuinseog · 21-09-2012 09:54PM

usually I would sign some form of contract if I wanted delivery of something like milk.get his car reg and report him to the guards.

I would open the door and deal with with calmly. maybe he made a genuine mistake and got the wrong house. I have not seen a milk man in years.

liam7831 · 21-09-2012 09:54PM

He called to my house too I took his Reg and put it into Cartell
CI 15.. Its registered to Craggy Island Creamery

Royal Legend · 21-09-2012 09:56PM

have you any cats that could be robbing the milk off of the doorstep before you get out of bed?
