    Do they just dump their load and run though or do they stick around and help you to get it where you want it?

    Dump it still in its wrapping and all and leave me to clean up the mess ;(

    I had a couch delivered to my house last October.

    Two Latvian deliverymen stayed and helped me put it together for about 3 hours.

    No, we weren't great at instructions, but credit to them for hanging about.

    I made them coffee and a hot meal and gave them a potato each to take home.

    Good people still exist.
    Is cruel joke. Is no potato.
    Such is life.

    I had the same problem with a Chinese delivery, wastards didn't put it on a plate and eat it for me or anything!
    Then there's the story of the lads (true story, I've heard it more than once so it must be) heading home from the pub on a wet night. One of the lads goes into a Chinese takeaway while the rest head on. They couldn't get a taxi so they had to walk home, and when they get there cold and wet, they find yer man back ahead of them eating the Chinese.

    "I knew I wouldn't get a taxi on a wet night so I asked in the takeaway if they delivered , and I got taken for a ride by the delivery man" :pac:

    Delivery men - another job where women are not claiming discrimination.

    I just play the 'helpless little woman' card whenever I have something heavy delivered (usually large appliances), get them to install the item and then politely ask them to dispose of the packaging because I have no use for it - in general if you don't ask, you don't get.

    It gave you something to do for an hour. What's the problem.

    The probably had 20 plus deliveries to do. A half hour unpacking in each drop would have them breaking tachograph regulations and probably sacked.
