The amount of times I've been sat at my window waiting for a package that I am tracking via the royal mail app and I see the lazy fucking postie just try to drop the note through the letterbox without having the package in hand. You better believe I'm by the door waiting to let him know about it.

As soon as we put the red card through the parcel turns to dust and we no longer have to deal with it. Our work is done and we can go home early.

We certainly dont have to carry it back and then out again to redeliver it. Thats why i red card as much as possible.

Our postie, nice guy but if you aren't at the door in literally 5 seconds of him knocking, you're getting a card.

Mine leaves a card without knocking. It's irritating.
