Southwark Council leaflet dropper - unbelieveable!

[ryedalema]

I know there are some much more serious threads on here right now - but I just have to vent about a Council leaflet dropper's rudeness this morning. As I was negotiating leaving the house this morning with our newborn and toddler, said leaflet dropper pushed passed us in the doorway - entered our house and dropped leaflets in our hallway. When I said 'excuse me that's unbelieveably rude!' he just said 'Whatever'.

Ironically one of the leaflets he dropped was called WHTVR - which I believe means the same (so not my demographic!).

The other was called something like 'Investing in you'. Maybe Southwark Council should invest in some considerate leaflet dropper - or market research into who is in their properties.

Or is this a new type of Guerilla marketing, which I've fallen for, as I'm now talking about this on the forum?

Either way - I'm gobsmacked at the home invasion!

Whining on a web page won't do anything! Pick up the phone to the council, write an email or WHATVR.

Technically it's called Trespass

[ryedalema]

Thanks Nero - I will call them too. But am hoping Citizen Journalism has some clout too - we'll see.

I'd be inclined to go "can there be any job more thankless than a leaflet dropper" and put it down to them having a bad day and let it be myself...

[ryedalema]

If they hadn't barged into our toddler I'd probably agree with you!

[the-e-dealer]

Yes traffic Warden bouncer, road sweeper, chewing gum remover. Report him ! The Council shouldn't be giving our money to louts.

[Brendan]

Don?t you know that low job satisfaction is an excuse for a lack of common human decency?

[silverfox]

Thinking about it ryedalema, although a bit clumsy and ill-mannered you could say your leaflet dropper was doing his job too well. His job is to make sure the leaflets are delivered into your home and he obviously took his responsibilities literally.

If you report him he may well be promoted.

[ryedalema]

I just wonder how far into our home he would have ventured if we hadn't been on the doorstep. Maybe I can get him to put it straight into our magazine rack next time.

[silverfox]

Or unread straight into your recycling bag

[Horsebox]

Or even better, unread straight into your bin! That should teach Southwark Council a thing or two.

[ruffers]

Speculating but I'm guessing he might have thought it was converted into flats and leaving them in what would be a common area?

No excuse though clearly.

[sillywoman]

Well I think you've found your leaflet dropper ryedalema! Surely no-one who wasn't the subject of your original post would have any cause to post such ignorant guff?

[Jeremy]

NickW - I think you're a bit out of order there. While the leaflet dropper wouldn't have wound me up enough to start a thread about it, it would definitely annoy me.

[Michael Palaeologus]

NickW = Troll?

[Elliekp]

So the leafletter went into your house? As in your hallway, entrance room etc? It wasn't a communal hall way or anything like that in a shared flat it was your house and your private front door? Oh my god! He walked passed you (bumped into you) as you were coming out of YOUR house, entered YOUR house and said whatever when you protested? Unbelivable! If I was you I'd be on the phone to the council ASAP!!

NickW - very strange - you wouldn't happen to be said leafletter would you?

[dan4courtz]

NickW,

I think your comment is way out of order and ryedalema deserves an apology from you for the slander and the personal attack.

As for...'Your comment epitomizes everything that is wrong with East Dulwich', it may help to have a look in the mirror and see what you see.

[the-e-dealer]

13 posts to a thread and ALREADY there's a barney ! Barmey!

I think that may be a record!

Ok NOW be rude to me !

[NickW]

I feel sorry for the disadvantaged. Problems we encounter in our society are because of all of us. Being snobby and pointing on internet forums does not help. It was not the above post, I read back through all ryedalemas posts and it was as a result of this I was so aggressive. I feel she is a bully.

xxxxxxxx

I've just looked through her posts and I don't know what you're talking about.

And even if she was a bully, does that give somebody else the right to barge past her and her small children into her own house?

[the-e-dealer]

In what way are all her posts bullying?

Buggy Wanted? Husband Beaten up? Plumber wanted? I think you are wrong! Anyway maybe this thread should be lounged.

Ouch!

[Pickle]

What an absolutely bizarre comment - Rydalema is a regular contributor in the Family Room, and is friendly & supportive. Nothing she's posted could be seen as bullying!

Jeez. Just how patronising is that. You are everything that is wrong with East Dulwich etc.
