Argos driver urinating in my garden - how can I get my complaint taken seriously?

hey, anyone !!!!ed in my garden, i would get the clippers out. if you dont get a response from argos, write to the CEO for argos, outline your problem. give them two weeks, if they dont respond, name and shame in the local newspaper, you would feel better about it!!

The previous poster was right, write to the MD, you'll never get anywhere phoning, think about the size of the organisation, and whether they give a toss. Oops! Anyway, having driven quite a lot over 50 years or so, I'm afraid there are times when you've just got to go, and it could have been just as distressing for the driver. You know that there are comfort facilities nearby, he might not have.

But in someone's FRONT GARDEN?

On a separate point, I don't quite understand why the OP is persisting with Argos when they clearly couldn't care less.

Report the driver to police. Going for a pee in public isn't in itself a criminal offence but it is if you show your bits to a member of the opposite sex in the process (indecent exposure as someone mentioned earlier).

So if he was, say, peeing into your hedge then what he was doing was indeed unpleasant but probably not a criminal offence (maybe disorderly behaviour at a push but you'd probably need a police officer to see it happening).

If you really want to keep wasting more time and energy with Argos, then at least inform them that you're reporting the matter to police.

Ask yourself what you want done about this. Do you want the driver spoken to so that he doesn't do it again? Then police might be the best people to handle it. If the driver did indeed have some plausible explanation, they'll at least warn him that he should have been more discreet.

If you want some sort of 'driver peed in my garden' vouchers for this, I wouldn't waste your time any further.

if you have nothing better to worry about than a driver who was bursting for a pee then lucky you .What do you expect argos to do ?
As for all those people who say go to the police ,I think the police have better things to do than look for someone who was bursting for a pee.How many police officers would you like to investigate it .

I was the delivery driver....your garden was a tip so I didn't think it'd be an issue to take a whiz over your rhododendron bush (it's on its last legs anyway). You're lucky your garden looked so messy else I'd have curled a Mr Whippy down on your pansies but I was worried I'd end up with something from collection point A. (in the end I saved that for a pensioner's house two streets away...she had some lovely empty garden tubs...I can tell you they weren't so empty after my non-signed for personal "delivery" was deposited),.

It's pointless writing in...all drivers are told to do this - it's company policy (No1 & "Number twosie" clauses)

Well, we all know where to come to relieve ourselves now, don't we?!

A cat peeing is hardly the same, is it? I would've had a few choice words with him and called the police, as urinating in a public place is illegal, as is trespassing.

No, it isn't

To the original poster, just get over it, why do people get so wound up over such trivial things?

hmmph..it is, as there was a high profile case in my town where a man was fined £1000 for urinating in a public place, and was sent prison for 4 months when he refused to pay.
