It seems I have developed one but it only seems to work in delivery yards.
Does anyone know if the plonks in goods in offices have to train to ignore or see through you or do they source the turds from a certain breed.
One day I will grab one by the neck and make him ■■■■ his pants. He won’t do it again I guarantee.
Don’t you love Mondays
I’ve fancied grabbing a few gate gestapo’s by the neck, then I think I might get fed up with porridge every morning. 
Sounds like you are tipping at encon in Dundee. Biggest bunch of knuckle shufflers ever to walk this earth.

The cloak of invisibility was developed years ago, along with vanishing cream
I don’t know how some people can be so awkward. It must make the day longer.
Amazing how many goods in offices have gone to the expense of fitting one way glass except they all seem to have fitted it the wrong way round
Its a reflection on society in general.
I’ve managed to avoid delivering to RDC’s apart from the odd one now and again, and i take me hat off to those who do this regularly, i couldn’t, it’s soul destroying dealing with increasing arrogance and grunting like pigs ignorance whilst you do your best to remain a relatively normal courteous person.
Some drivers dont themselves any favours, its obvious to most that GI staff are busy and under pressure to do the work theyre doing, without having a driver ranting in their face, and the GI staff like any other human being will just ignore the driver if theyre being pushy, goby, or arrogant. However Ive always found that a smile and a little politeness towards the GI staff usually gets me the result I want
Agency called me one morning about 6 years ago,“can you get to Encon Myrekik Road Dundee asap?”.I gallop down there tell them agency sent me got here as quick as I could.I had never used my digi card so asked the T.M. if he could show me,he couldnt as he had never seen one before.I had the leaflet that came with it but just wanted to see what would happen.I hadguessed that hewas a ■■■ and he proved me right.

The invisibility cloak is your hi viz vest, so do what I do when being ignored by some ■■■■■■ behind a counter, …take it off, I will guarantee he will say in seconds ‘‘put her hi viz on driver’’
I reply with a surprised look and say ‘‘Oh! you CAN see me then’’
Ignorant ■■■■■■■■ most of them, and politeness doesn’t always work with a lot of them either, they think because you are a driver you are 3 steps down the food chain from them.

Lol. Its so true though. As someone said on another thread your hi viz is supposed to make you be seen better but walk around without it and EVERYONE notices you!

remember the shobba cartoon in truck and driver[if you read it ]about the loading bay operatives and how they can adopt a chameleon like ability when they hear the sound of an engine,so true,

Dunno how you worked that out … just because he was a TM don’t mean squat. To be honest you don’t need any driving qualifications to be a TM so by having all the kit and not knowing how to use it adding that to your comment guess what it makes you sound
I have a lot of fun in rdcs… My tip… Get a ■■■■ job 
seriously though, as said always be pleasant, make them want to see you rather than not, so many folk are just miserable, I’m always smiling and I do believe that is the real reason I get better reception. Also I still drop and drive just because I know the warehouse folk so appreciate it and if I can help someone else whilst getting some needed exercise for myself why not.
I do only do it part time though and appreciate day in day out it can be a drag but I get the most out of each day with almost a goal to make someone else smile and the result is my day is better too.
I too have a cracking pair of ■■■■■!
My top tip for dealing with RDC’s is that whatever the provocation you receive from little pipsqueek who is probably bullied by friends and family alike is to maintain at all times a polite and friendly attitude. It might not get you sorted any quicker but imo it gives you the moral high ground, and again imo being “better” than the nobs you deal with is vitally important.
Or maybe that’s just me being wierd?

No just strange 
I to have the same attitude treat them the way you would like to be treated …
If that fails just announce your here and when their ready you’ll be sat on that seat in the drivers room… you’ll be amazed that they soon want your paperwork etc

FTFY
I sometimes arrive at a place to be told that the forkies having his tea and you will just have to wait.I reply with “I am paid by the hour and have a new dvd to watch ,just knock on the door when you are ready”.He comes along fairly soon.
