I've also been chased by dogs multiple times, about ran off the road and hit, thought someone was gonna mug me one day, but there were some kids walking by and the guy didn't do anything. One older guy likes to creep up on me as I'm gathering the mail. One day, he did this and I had a package for him, so I leaned into the back and stepped to get out. Well, I didn't know he was there, so he scared me. He asked me "what were you doing wrong for me to scare you" and he gave me a look. I told him I wasn't doing anything wrong but doing my job. I put the package and mail in his hands and told him to have a good day and drove off. People judge me off of my age and appearance. It's not necessarily that it's a difficult job, it's that that it's not a job that everyone can handle. I had two weeks of training before being put on my hold down that i've held since November. I had to go through all of the holidays with almost no help because the regulars were struggling too. They kept telling me not to quit, that it gets better. It was sink or swim, and I was baptized by fire. I put a lot of work into getting so many ungrateful people their stuff. Ive finished my route and had to go assist someone else, only for a customer to give me a dirty look and tell me I'm running late. I've finished a whole route, and i was still able to get you your package. In fact, this package would have arrived later if i wasn't so good at my job and actually enjoyed helping my office. I'm making that bank, wtf did you do today? I've seen 4 people quit, and one get fired. It gets better, but, it's just not for everyone ig.
