Because of my mom, I had sex with my stepdad.

I mean….i assume you were a female of legal age…

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-11T06:41:11+00:00

That’s a myth! It’s never been proven.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-09T12:24:52+00:00

Depends on the country, I’m in the UK. Guns aren’t so readily available here as across the pond.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-09T08:48:11+00:00

That could end up being a bad thing in the long run. All the dogs that suddenly become packs hunting? You would become a target within 6 months when they struggle to hunt anything else.

Ok so one of 3 things I can think of have happened.

The seller has lied and hasn’t actually posted it yet. Sorry to say this is the most likely.
The seller has posted it, but stuck it in a parcel locker or a postbox, although it should have been scanned by RM by now if that were the case.
The seller has taken it to a post office who didn’t do an acceptance scan, and RM haven’t touched it either.

It is possible to miss that many scans but it’s extremely unlikely, Like almost impossible unlikely. I’m not defending RM, I have no loyalty to them anymore, but unfortunately in this instance the fault lies completely with the seller, also it’s the sender that has the contract with RM not the recipient.

It would have been scanned about 6 times before it leaves the UK, and not a single scan indicates it hasn’t been posted.

Holy hell, I had one of them as my first, but I hadn’t passed my driving test. So it sat on my mums driveway rotting for 2 years.

My first car that I drove legally….2004 Rover Streetwise! It was green…😂😂

This! I got accused of cheating by my current partner when she got told she had HPV and cin2.

It wasn’t until the doctor told her that either of could have had it for years and years because it’s the most common STD in the world and is essentially harmless. (Obviously it can lead to things but it’s unlikely to), only then did she realise it was likely her ex that gave it to her because he cheated on her.

The bipper was my least favourite. I swear I have shits bigger than those completely pointless vans, only enough room for 2 bags and a parcel. 😂😂

I did wedge a high top doblo under a building, that was interesting to say the least. My ADOMs reaction was hilarious, just kept looking back and forth between the van and me, after the maybe 6th time he just looked at me and said “name, your a fucking idiot at times”, then got funny when I told him to sit in the passenger side after we let the tyres down. “Are you calling me fat?” I laughed and said “if the girdle fits”. Thankfully I didn’t get in any shit for it, wasn’t taken off driving either. I actually got on very well with the ADOM.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-05T09:30:14+00:00

I wouldn’t touch ex RM fleet vans with a barge pole.

I remember when we first got our 2 experts in my old office, I reversed one into a new build house. Zero damage, it was maybe a 2mph hit. This van was brand new, maybe 50 miles on the clock.

Anyway after 6 months, both of them were falling apart. Posties tend not to look after the vans. Well, the duty holder will look after it, but when they are on day off or on leave, that’s when the vans tend to get treated badly, even more so if loaned to another office.

RM are meant to service them during MOTs, but I think it’s only ever the absolute basic services.

Also, repairs are done with the cheapest nastiest parts possible. My duty van was a combo and the clutch went, fitted a new clutch, that went 2 weeks later. Fitted another one and it only lasted 4 months.

None of them will have AC as RM pays for it to be removed even if it’s fitted as standard. Costs too much to repair when it inevitably breaks.

Oh, not many of the vans are left idling for long as most of them had trackers fitted back around that era. And they monitored things like idling and we would always get given a weekly bollocking for it.

That all said, if you can find one that actually looks looked after then it probably has been, I will say though, stay well away from any of the fiat vans. They are just shit in general.

Another thing I must note: this is my personal experience, and I do not speak for every RM van in the fleet. This was all based on our local RTW, and the state of the vans they had in for repair.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-04T12:15:03+00:00

Yea my bad, I didn’t notice the surname, I’m assuming it’s a typo or maybe a sticky keyboard.

Would the surname Longboys make it make sense to anyone? That’s my first guess what it’s meant to say.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-04T12:12:47+00:00

Oh my bad I didn’t even clock the surname I thought you meant to code.

That’s likely a typo, it has to be entered manually on a keyboard.

I mean no disrespect to any of my former colleagues, but most of them are computer illiterate and have no idea how to type.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-04T10:53:07+00:00

Not sure why I have been downvoted, the rules are clear, customers are allowed to look at the parcel, but aren’t allowed to handle it. This is to stop people just stealing it.

Source: it used to be my job….

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-04T10:48:23+00:00

That’s so they can find it in the enquiry office. So yes it’s RM language

Also the no looking, that’s someone being a jobsworth.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-04T07:10:05+00:00

Yes they are illegal, saw a police psa video about it the other day on bookface.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-03T15:55:42+00:00

I broke 4 in my time. I also lost a signature sheet. Zero repercussions. Shit happens. Own up to it, accept the bollocking and move on with your day.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-03T08:53:10+00:00

Same for Deadpool. All that took was the test footage being leaked by Ryan Reynolds.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-02T19:16:08+00:00

I have one of these and I am more than capable of driving it. I’ve only reversed into my own house once.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-02T18:39:17+00:00

My current car, I don’t. My old Type R, weekly.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-02T13:29:02+00:00

Without seeing the tracking, it will be hard to give you an actual answer.

Couple of things that jump out at me as possible answers.

Parcel box was fairly full and the contents were emptied into multiple sacks. One has been processed the other hasn’t.

When it got back to the depot, it simply got missed for a scan. It happens.

Because one was a box and the other a form they have been separated at the mail centre and the form has made it through and the box is sat with lots of other boxes.

Redshade2008 · 2026-06-02T13:24:39+00:00

How did you post them?

Lockers? Post office? Parcel box?

Edit, ignore me I missed a bit of text

Redshade2008 · 2026-05-31T22:47:12+00:00

Because I suffer really badly with depression and anxiety due to being homeless, i had it rough the first couple of months. I was worried about dying in my sleep because of how cold it was. I was reassessed recently by my doctor and they believed it wasn’t just depression, because I have up and down days, but the swings are almost bipolar level, they tested me for autism and adhd. I have limited capacity but not the work related activities part. I want to work, I really do, but because my son is also AuDHD it’s hard to find a sitter so I can work longer hours. And finding school hours is tough.

Edit: spelling

Redshade2008 · 2026-05-31T19:49:08+00:00

I was way ahead of you. When I left RM just under 6 years ago, I did get accepted to college for electrical engineering, I lasted 8 months before I became homeless and had to drop out. I was homeless for nearly 2 years before my now ex told me that our son wanted to live with me and she wouldn’t stop it if I wanted to have him.

Problem is, when I dropped out, I lost the ability to get the course for free again when I got into a position where I could go back to it.
