walking across my lawn. Just don't! Why do the paper people not walk up and down drives instead of skipping across lawns. Do you think this is rude or am I just a moody moo cow?

When I was a paper boy there was one house so far away from the road I used to ride me bike up his lawn, luckily he never noticed as I was always so early
Ha there you go then Can you not say you don't want the free paper delivered to your door next time?
Ah fair enough, i assumed you meant it was for a proper newspaper you pay for. Next time you see him, tell me not to bother ever dropping off a paper to you, then all is sorted
phew! not just me then. The casual saunter across the lawn, right past where he can obviously see I'm sat in the wondow is... infuriating.
(no garden in this house, just a drive with cars on...no problem)
Think you're being semi moody
My parents made me do a weekly paper round when I was young - what they don't realise is how rude some people can be when all you are doing is delivering the weekly free paper.
It was flippin torrential!
Although I did break someones letterbox trying to post the guardian on saturday morning or something like that.
Saturday papers were hellish with all them supplements :grump:
I used to deliver to a sheltered housing complex, and this old witch used to moan at me every day for being late. On my last day I empted one of her plant pots on the nasty old bat's doorstep. Then she phoned my paper shop, who phoned my Mam and I got my mobile phone confiscated for a week
If the part of the garden where the door is wasn't paved I would be pissed if people walked over the grass instead of the path because if they're coming in they'll drag the dirt and stuff over the floor and even if they aren't they're ruining the garden. :impissed:
