More Royal Mail Wasters

Via Lobbydog, this gem of a story from The Daily Telegraph:
One worker boasted of how he wasted time by filling in “739” forms - which tell anyone who is not at home that they have a parcel to collect - while still at the sorting office, rather than on the doorstep once he had checked whether the recipient was at home.
Yeah, I don't think he is alone in doing that. In fact, in my neck of the woods, it appears to be the norm rather than the exception...

I once caught one in the act as I happened to be behind the door when he pushed the card through.
He eventually admitted he didn't actually have the package and it was pretty much standard practice, otherwise thier bags would be weighed down with books from Amazon and the like and they'd all have to be driving vans to get the round done. He confessed it was even more common when a bestseller was released.

Yup, the cheeky bastards have done this to me as well.
