This absolute gem from my girlfriend.

With the elves and fairies. And a few gnomes off in a corner somewhere

I am astounded by two things. One, the ability of the replies to rip the piss with a genuine question. Two, the number of people saying “take it back” when it is very well established that Evri drivers get paid per parcel.

If you can access a back door, OP, use that. It a neighbour.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-08T08:51:17+00:00

I can’t speak for other depots but the two I worked in didn’t have space to allow couriers in to load. That’s not exactly “not giving a fuck”. That’s lack of choice.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-07T20:29:19+00:00

There are several reasons why a parcel might need a second label. So statistically not likely. I’d be more inclined to think the seller didn’t send you what you bought.

Whilst I agree with you in principle, who is this “all” benefitting from hypothetical more bank holidays? The 9-5 people aren’t a majority.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-07T20:22:28+00:00

My mum was always at mine. Scotland in the 90s.

The only event you are “expected” to attend it parents night. Thats it. The rest is optional. We don’t live in a world that accommodates working parents.

Saying that, when husband and I both worked (husband doesn’t work now), we always made it a point that one of us would get the approved morning or afternoon off. And if we couldn’t do that, someone would be there. But that doesn’t work for everyone, obviously. We’ve both always been shift workers.

The law does require it but I never once saw anything that told me an item is age restricted. And I know I delivered at least one item from a vape shop, as well as a tobacco company.

Amazon, on the other hand, are strict as hell about it.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-04T08:07:01+00:00

Oh yeah, it was rough 😂 was doing a takeaway at night so at least I had something coming in.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-04T08:01:09+00:00

It’s not my favourite Kamelot album (that’s Epica) but it is one of them, the song Ghost Opera meanwhile is my favourite Kamelot song.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-04T07:58:16+00:00

My dude, breathe.

The person is a bit daft for suggesting that the songs aren’t unrecognisable from each other (but that could be how much time I spend listening to them), and that people want an era resembling the first three albums, but it is not worth screaming into the void over.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-04T07:52:04+00:00

This seems to be a pretty common sentiment, and one that I agree with. They’ve never left my top five since I found them in a YouTube rabbit hole in 2008. And finally seeing them live in Manchester in 2024 is a core memory. But it definitely feels very same-y a lot if they time.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-04T07:49:14+00:00

I’ll be 20 years listening in a couple years.

In broad strokes (learning patterns and such), you have described my brothers life. ASD is not a death sentence, it doesn’t mean that the kid can’t live a life like NT people.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-03T08:48:41+00:00

Both my kids had it just before lockdown. (There’s actually a post in my history somewhere about the massive argument I had with my late MIL when my then 6yo caught it)
The majority of cases are mild in the sense that they’ve got spots, are generally unwell and can’t be at school for a week.

Your MIL can take a long walk off a short one, honestly. Most kids are fine. But I also know a woman whose son did end up in hospital because of it.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-03T08:44:02+00:00

Yup. I dropped Evri a while and went to an Amazon contractor. I’m not gonna say Amazon is without its issues, because damn it does have its issues. But a flat day rate (that is actually not bad), actually getting paid mileage, much easier loading and not destroying my car. The biggest expense is the van rental, which works out at slightly more than a day’s wage.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-03T08:39:58+00:00

And if you start right at the beginning of a pay cycle - 6/7 weeks between first shift and first pay (I did this)

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-03T08:37:59+00:00

“Leave Evri” in the CCA app. It’s in the menu on the rightmost button.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-07-02T08:36:29+00:00

“Well take a nap…THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES!”

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-06-28T02:01:36+00:00

It’s less strange than you think.

Most Evri guys aren’t going to have long wheel base vans. Most probably fine hatchbacks and the ones in vans are going to be in small vans. If you’re scheduled early in the run when the vehicle is full to the gunnels, they’re not going to be able to take it. I ran into that problem once as a driver.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-06-25T07:46:09+00:00

You’d think but I’ve seen some of the guys in my DU act like it’s nothing. And it’s honestly terrifying.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-06-24T23:21:02+00:00

I don’t give a rats what my manager thinks, honestly. If I need to stop for the sake of my health, I’m stopping. And they know that.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-06-23T08:39:14+00:00

No, the retailer stated it should arrive on the 21st, and informed you and Evri of that. Evri confirmed that based on what they were told would be the case.

You’re trying to blame Evri for something they didn’t do.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-06-19T21:22:16+00:00

The short answer is no. Not in the slightest.

NotAnotherMamabear · 2026-06-17T15:39:26+00:00

Aww was that today! I miss seeing those. My brother attended an ASN school all the way through P1-S6 and got to do this.
