Vent: Tesco Van Parking Over Driveway

Custardy. I bet you have met a few like the OP in your postie travels.

I am still shocked from the disgusting comment a few posts up.
Can folks not see that the original poster is someone in a bit of a crisis? She has miscarried more than once and is obviously ill with worry over this pregnancy. Yes- the complaint itself is trivial to most of us. Put it with the other thread that some people are mocking and its someone at the end of their tether- obsessing over what might go wrong.
To the OP- you do need to see your doctor to speak about what you are going through. Tescos isn't the real issue. Please just get your partner or someone close to you to go to tescos and explain the situation to get that sorted. As it is , they are probably treating the emails as just someone out to cause a nuisance. You can't blame yourself for what has happened before. You can't wrap yourself up in a bubble until the birth. Time to speak to those around you and let them know what you are going through. You need to get support from them and be able to calm down inside and take care of yourself
Come on folks , this poster needs support!

I could list dozens.
You would be amazed at what some people feel is complaint worthy.
postman walking too loudly,letters 'unnecessarily' folded,wet letters when its pouring down.
property damage is always fun. gates that fall off in the posties hand,letterboxes that fall off doors. not sure what they are meant to do

I know its ridiculous.Round here someone said the postman pushed a you wernt in card through the door without knocking first with a recorded delivery,as if they would do that,sheesh.Another neighbour said that the postman leaves elastic bands what hold the letters he's carrying in their garden and along pathways in the street.I told them straight,they would never do such a thing.And they always shut the gate after they've left,never a problem their at all.:D

Perhaps this is a message from god?

Did the Tescos man have a beard?

That's an awful thing to say. Very upsetting

folk shouldn't be having home delivery when there is not sufficient access to the delivery property, thus causing harassment, delays and traffic jams to your neighbours:rotfl:
go and get your own shopping or use click and collect if you cant be bothered to pick your own from the shelf.:p


some folk eh!!;)

I cant stop people parking opposite my drive on the pavement can I though which is why he couldnt get through as there was a car on pavement plus Tesco van in road, which is exactly what this particular neighbour does which can also make it difficult for us to pull out of our driveway or reverse into it so he cant exactly moan!

Plus as this is MSE I get my shopping delivered when there is an offer such as money off if you do home shopping returns, free delivery, bonus points etc not because Im being lazy

no worries sally22, some folk do get upset at minor stuff,


ive not heard about the troubles of the op that globaltraveler mentioned, so don't know weather to read that post TIC.;)


some times we as drivers get blocked in, sometimes as drivers we do the blocking in, both scenarios are usually done accidentally or sometimes out of necessity.:)
