At the East Dulwich post collection office on Silvester Road the other day, this woman came in and asked them what she should do about a DHL parcel she was expecting that hadn't arrived. The postman told her to contact DHL.
She said, 'But will the parcel be with them?'. He said, 'You should give them a call'.
'They didn't leave a card. Where is their depot?', says she. 'I haven't a clue', said he. At this point she left.
I thought he showed great forbearance. If it were me, I would have thrown something at her. The worst of it is that she's probably the kind of person who would go off and complain about how unhelpful he was for not being able to give her more information about a company that he doesn't have anything to do with.
She also probably is the kind of person who holds everyone up at flight check-in because she's either late and missed her plane, holds a ticket for another airline, has too much luggage or is just plain stupid.
