Sorry to disagree here, Tommy - you clearly were a delivery driver. However, I have never been given a time of between 6:00am and 8:00pm for any of my deliveries (and I've had a few)!! If one were to be given this time and might expect it at that time, then fair enough. I think the point of this thread was that the call (and subsequent delivery) at 06:40am was completely unexpected - in which case a flea in the ear or a grumpy word or two should be perfectly acceptable? In my world, anyway.

6:00 am?????? Good grief.

I know people work these hours, good for them, but don't expect the rest of us to accommodate it if we don't have to or want to.

We run our own business - we don't expect to be able to access a customer's house before 09:00am (unless specifically requested). The customer is always king . . .
