Video:Putting his foot in it! Royal Mail postman leaves homeowner furious after walking through freshly laid cement

On Phone? Watch in landscape.



A Royal Mail postman has left a homeowner in Romford 'furious' after walking through freshly laid wet cement on their driveway.

The hapless postman appears completely unaware as he walks across the wet drive before realising he's left huge foot holes in the newly laid drive.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

If they did not put any signage or blocks to stop the postie then it's on them as how was he to know?

Also I like that you made us watch the landscaping in landscape. The home owner will need to get their landscaper back to fix the 'concrete'.

Been there. Once you leave one footprint, well, you're committed to reaching the door because they'll be resurfacing it all regardless. They at least put out a cone, although what is a solitary cone meant to communicate to me? Ducks crossing ahead? Entering a nuclear weapons test zone?

Still upset about putting my bag down on a driveway in 2009 and getting concrete on one of my original blue shirts. Come to think of it, the uniform is so bad now I'd be upset to lose a subpar Dimensions blue shirt.

Not his fault if they don't put any hazard tape or warning signs up. Perhaps they'll learn from this and do that when they try and fix it! :left:
