So are taxi drivers and hairdressers and they usually expect tips.

Better you giving him a tip than him giving your wife a tip

Taxi drivers and hairdressers deliver our post too? :eek:

Postmen are grand, and never ask for it, unlike the binmen who used to call around looking for something at Christmas!

RosyLily

We tip the binmen, never the postman though.

sfwcork

No was the mothers idea.she wanted to get him the whiskey

Ah sure it depends on the postman I suppose.

My postman ignores me flat out everyday I see him. I refuse to stop saying hello to his face cause I've started to get a kick out of it. How someone's ignores a person greeting them face to face is beyond me.

He'll be thirsty this crimbo that's for sure!

My folks used to invite the postman in for a whiskey while he was on his rounds. I haven't heard of it being done in a while though.

I don't tip them anymore after one of them tried to sue me when he landed in the gravel.

Whatever about the post man, if you are in therapy don't forget to get you get something for your therapist; they have ahd to listen to the inner working of your mind for the past year!!!

Mr. Pink: [rubbing his middle finger and thumb together] You know what this is? The world's smallest violin playing just for the postman and the taxi man and the fucking hairdresser.

I used to be a post man a few years ago, it was coming up to christmas week and I went to a house to deliver some letters, suddenly the door opened and this extremely sexy woman dressed in her negligee opened the front door to me and summonsed me inside.

I followed her upstairs to a bedroom were she went on to give me the best ride I'd ever had in my life.

After that, we both got dressed, then she bought me down to the kitchen were she had a MONSTER of a breakfast laid on for me, sausages, rashers, pudding, eggs, delicious to say the least.

Anyway, I finished up the brekkie, was getting ready to leave the house when she handed me €2,

At this point I asked her what was all this in aid off? Hot sex, lovely breakfast, and some money?

She said, 'I asked me husband what should i give the post man this year for Christmas, and he said "fcuk em! Give him a couple of euro"! The breakfast was my idea love

Culleeo

Why would you tip the barer of bad news, that fucker only brings me bills

Interviewer asked Mario Ballotelli why doesn't he celebrate when he scores a goal, his reply was "I'm paid to score goals, it's my job. Does the postman celebrate every time he delivers a letter? No, it's his job to deliver letters".

Oldie but a goldie.

cassid

don't do the bin men, they just throw the bins anywhere now.

postman if I see him, will give him a few bob, he's a nice chap.

barbers/hairdressers all get something extra for xmas, and then all the teachers/creches/coaches. get a little pressie

PizzamanIRL

Our postman is very friendly and we always give him a bottle of wine. Don't actually know if he drinks wine though.

My postmen do not even attempt to deliver parcels. All you get is a letter to collect at the local sorting office.

Not a chance in hell of a tip.

admiralofthefleet

bollix to that, he is getting paid to do his job

Considering a good proportion of the post addressed to the house goes missing, it'll be a no on tipping the post man. I'm not saying he's taking it, I don't think he is because he always knocks on the door when he has packages to deliver. I just know stuff that has definitely been posted has disappeared in the mail.

Gran Hermano

I went to a postman's birthday party today.
We played pass-the-sorry you weren't in note.

Yes he'll get a tip.........tip of my boot up his hole

also depends on the location

if you are an OAP and half relying on the postman to make sure you are still alive in the depths of winter then probably not a bad idea

if you live in a city chances you wouldn't recognise the postman and it's probably a temporary one at christmas anyway
