UPDATE.. anybody know 'tobeapoet' on here,as item not returned


Recommended Posts

Hiya everyone,

does anybody know the person,with the 'tobeapoet' ID.here on the forum


they 'borrowed' a drill from me,beginning of Feb

but since I sadly deleted all pms,I don't know what else to do


I lent them a drill & haven't heard anything,to this day

I did send a pm 12.Feb,which is still unread


feeling disappointed

Jenny


btw.

it's the first time ever it happened to me,as I lend tools on a regular basis



any ideas ?

Always ensure that when loaning items to anyone that you take the time and effort to deliver it to their address rather than have them pick up from yours. Then at least you will know where they live when it comes time for the return of the borrowed item.

Jenny pink, it's wonderful that you lend things to strangers, please don't stop doing so! I know it's a horrible feeling to have your trust abused, but one bad experience doesn't outweigh lots of good ones (even though it may feel as if it does, at the time).


In this instance, I think KidKruger is probably right that contacting forum admin is the way to go. Good luck.


By the way, I've always thought that the old adage 'neither a borrower nor a lender be' is only half of a couplet that goes: 'Neither a borrower nor a lender be / Just be a miserable git like me'. Here's to NOT being miserable gits - here's to helping each other out - here's to you, jenny pink!

Hiya...thank you for your suggestions & support....

I had a couple of pms,with links to a 'tobeapoet',which I emailed them on,still hope they will respond....

will give it to the end of the week,then will inform Admin....


NOT loosing faith in this community...thank you very much 'Grok'.....


as for bringing them to peeps,would be impossible,as I'm not driving....however will consider taking a deposit....



by the way....has anyone got an electric drill & drill bits, to donate ....



cheers


disappointed but NOT defeated


Jenny

Jenny

Do you happen to have a large flat screen TV I could borrow for a couple of days? Also a smart phone, games consol, and a laptop? And btw, would you like to buy a set of encylopedias?

this is a common reaction to grok. grok is an arse.


continue to lend and remember that when Shakespeare wrote about not being a borrower or lender they are not his words but those he wrote for a character he created who was a tedious, meddling, servile, windbag of a man who ends up stabbed for being a nosy obsequious git.

Quite simply it should be a case of once bitten.... However, all of these strangers are advising you to carry on risking your property which is a bit rich as they risk nothing.

Carry on if you so choose as its a 'free' country but when you get mugged off again its probably best not to complain.

Maxxi AKA tobeapoet lol

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
