Royal Mail Delivery Driver

It was only last week I wrote to Royal Mail praising their service and my postman after I watched "Dispatches: Post Office Undercover" and saw how bad an image they portrayed of RM.
Then today my good perception of it soured when a parcel came, more so annoying because it wasn't even for me but something a friend had ordered and delivered to my address. Knock at the door and I go thundering down in my 'Jarmies' to see a miserable fogie holding a parcel at arms length by the corner
Me: Morning!
Driver: Parcel.
Me: *wonders whats on drivers mind for him to be so sour looking* Thanks very much! Bye!
Driver: Need to sign for it.
Me: Oh, ok.
*Driver grunts and hands over signing machine which goes off when I put the pen on*
Driver: *grunt* Need the parcel back. You've just cancelled it. *moan*
Me: Oh, sorry. *small forest-fire of anger begins in head*
Driver: There.
Me: *leave signature* There you go, thanks, bye!
Driver: Right.
Me: *slam door* Miserable old git. :mad::mad::mad:
Not a big deal, but had me in a right mood to say the least. :rotfl:
