So, for those of you who have visited the 1st of my two links in my sig, you'll know that I'm off work on unpaid leave while we struggle through a very difficult twin pregnancy. The medical costs associated with this are killing us, so we are doing anything and everything we can to try and pull together the few dollars that we can.
And so, we have recently picked up what is essentially a 'catalogue run'. Once a week we spend a few hours at night walking the streets [on our designated route] dropping off catalogues and what not.
Those who don't want to receive to receive this mail have a sign/sticker that will say something along the lines of 'no junk mail'.
We've found it's about 75% who want to receive their catalogues, and about 25% have the sign saying no thanks.
Being pregnant and with complications, I can't walk too far, so my partner [the poor guy] ends up walking the streets for about 4 straight hours, and at the end of the week we get his little bank deposit of $20 for his effort.
It's terrible pay for the amount of work that goes into it, but that $20 buys our food for a few days, so thats why we do it.
Now. Onto the SC [Im calling him an SC as he is technically a 'customer' of ours
]
A few nights ago I was walking with my partner, and we got to a house whose mailbox has no sign or sticker. So we put the catalogue in the mailbox.
About 15 minutes later, as we were coming back down the road on the other side, we hear an angry-sounding guy yelling at us from the front of that house:
SC - 'HEY, does this belong to you?'
*has the catalogue in his hand...as we look up, he dramatically throws it onto the ground*
My partner - 'Hey mate, yeah we do the catalogues for this area. Sorry mate we didn't see a sign saying no to deliver here, I can take it back if you didn't want it, no worries'
SC - 'I've got a camera in my front window'
My partner - '....okay....well, like I said, sorry if we missed a sign or something buddy, I'll just take it back and wont deliver here next week okay'
SC - 'I dont have a sign on my mailbox'
My partner - 'Oh, okay...yeah, like if there isnt a sign mate then we dont really know you dont want the catalogue. In any case, all good mate, Ill make a point to skip your place next week, no worries!'
SC - 'I've got a camera in my front window. I don't use a sign. I have a camera so I can lure you people to my house so I can abuse you cause I don't want this shit in my mailbox'
My partner - 'Yeah, okay buddy, look Im just gunna skip your place next week, have a good night mate'
SC - 'Ive got a camera and Ive saved your face now so I know who you are'
My partner - 'yeah okay mate'
The guy was just...mental.
If we miss a sign and deliver somewhere we shouldnt...wel, it hasnt happened yet, but we would apologise and not do it again.
This guy though, what with his alleged cameras and what not...seemed to just want to pick a fight.
With the catalogue guy and his pregnant partner.
Bravo, camera dude, bravo.

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
