Nor does excessive punctuation marks.

I work with someone who does the same thing with every message they send on Teams -- it gets very irritating, very quickly.

I know its a little thing that should be easy to just ignore, but it seems like its actually intentional effort on their end for no particular end gain

I find it quite useful, as it's shorthand for 'this is neither true nor worth reading' so saves me a lot of time.

The same way that finishing with 'End of' means 'what I just wrote is complete nonsense but I don't want anyone to challenge me on it'.   It would be more efficient if people would put it at the start though, rather than the end.

When I have a delivery for a courier they wait until you open the door and then take a photograph of your door with it being open receiving your goods. Or leaving it with a neighbour. 

In my experience couriers can be very variable with this .

From ringing the bell, being pleasant and taking a photo. Also some will make the effort to leave with neighbours.

Others will just dump the parcel outside the front door, not even knock when you are in . Or knock once, which you may or may not hear and then immediately back in the van.

I am surprised more parcels do not get stolen from outside the house.

Yes, I counted 20 exclamation marks. Not bad for one post.

(was going to finish that last sentence with an exclamation mark, but thought I'd better not)

The scam is that the RM are selling a signed-for service but they don't get a signature.

Over-use of "actually" is another one...

...obviously!

I am in shock! 

I can no longer trust the Royal Mail for delivery’s. 

I tell you why. 

Mail that is coming to my house that needs either Photo or Signed for is no longer the case! 

Photos of my front garden floor and forged signature! 

I am finding my parcels left on the doorstep for anyone to take! 

I have reported this to the postoffice and NOTHING has been done. They don’t care! 

Now anytime I have a parcels that won’t fit through the post box I have started to redirect them to my local postoffice. Thank the lord that my local post office is just down my road. 

How dare the Royal Mail sign for my private mail! I don’t give anyone permission to do this! 

What is the point of the royal charging people for signed for when the post man signs for you and then leave your post for anyone to take!! 

When I have a delivery for a courier they wait until you open the door and then take a photograph of your door with it being open receiving your goods. Or leaving it with a neighbour. 

Taking to my local postoffice counter clerk told me that it’s happening everywhere!!!

The only thing that they deliver with your actual signature is the special guarantee delivery! 

Even with the stamp swop out it costs me over 50pence more using my stamps than using digital l. 

I will never trust Royal Mail again and will try to avoid.
