Turned up at a business park in Cannock this morning. Followed the satnav until the last little bit then thought I would park and walk around the corner to have a look.
Get back in the cab and an artic pulls alongside blowing his horn. I wind down the window and he asks where such and such a business park is and I tell him this is it. He then asks where such and such a company is and I tell him that when I walked around the corner to have a look I saw this company (forget the name) on the right. Straight away the vehicle is in gear and he’s off round the corner driving over the shrub bed and knocking out a couple of wooden posts as well, not that it mattered knocking the lorry about judging by the state of it.
The office fitters I am due to meet turn up and we walk around the corner to have a look and their is someone’s number 1 driver trying to turn around in a small car park. Theirs only a few cars in there as its a new build and people have yet to move in. He starts beeping his horn again and continues until people come out and move their cars.
He then comes out of his collection point carrying a small envelope. Turns out that was all he had to collect and knew this from the start. He starts moaning about office staff sending arctics to places like this so I asked him why he did not walk round and have a look first-well the look he gave me, you would of thought I asked if I could give his daughter one.
I still can’t work out why he didn’t have a look first and also why he didn’t reverse out rather than try to turn around. He was an older chap as well so you think would know better. I guess some drivers just don’t like getting out of the drivers seat!
