American TV shows that tell you what you are going to see after the commercials before the commercials, and then tell you what you saw before the commercials after the commercials.

Yes, very annoying. Adopted by documentaries on Five, which says it all really.

I work for City Link...so I understand your pain.
A truly tinpot outfit. Was told last night we've lost 13mill this year, having lost 95mill last year.
Unfortunately for reasons unknown to all of us, Rentokil Initial continue to bankroll us. We all wish they'd stopped doing it and just offer us all redundancy. I'd take it in a heart beat.

I was really fucking angry today, get this one.............
Ordered a before 9am delivery as normal, woke up at 7.30am and was ready to receive by 7.45am and listening out for them. I live behind a secure gate that needs a code to get through, I passed on the gate code as I always do. 9.30am nothing..........so I called them up, 'there was an attempted delivery at 8.04am sir' eh, WTF? Is the guy a fucking ninja or something? I can usually hear the van. Turns out he wasn't passed on the gate code, ok no problem we can work around that I thought, we all make mistakes.
I was working in a hotel around the corner from where I live today, it is literally 500 yards from my house, I mean literally. So I asked can you drop at the hotel as I need to go there now? Got back to me 30 mins later 'sorry sir we cannot do that its in a different postal area from your house, a different driver covers that delivery area', me 'WTF Its literally 500 yards from my house?', him 'sorry standard SOP'. I blew my fucking top at this point.
Got called back an hour from some supervisor who managed to sort it but I didn't get the stuff until 2pm. I've shorted this story as I can't be arsed writing it it full but there were a few other phone calls I had to make to get it to happen.
Seriously there are some proper jobworths about

The thing about the post codes is what frustrates me most. Considering a lot of these guys have paid good money to get their vans plastered with the City Link logo, I never ceased to be amazed at their lack of willingness to actually go out and do their job and deliver parcels. I personally work nights and am in involved in the route planning for the drivers, so I'll be the twunt who has to deal with the sort of issue you had all day long and it never ceases to get me worked up.
Problem is we have a system in which the majority of the drives are self-employed. They buy the rights to a post-code (e.g. SS1-SS7) and as a result will only deliver in that area. Therefore in your case it's likely that the postcode became SS8 (for example) when your house is in SS7 and as a result the driver can refuse to do the delivery as he is only meant to do SS1 to SS7.
I could go on and on about that company, but there's no point in me getting worked up. All I know is if it carries on at this rate Rentokil will have had enough before long and we'll all be without a job.
Just out of interest, how often do the parcels turn up looking like a pile of shit?
