[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 326419, member: 12570"] I have an older lady who always seems to be out walking her equally older dog on this one street when I am making my deliveries and she chatised me for blowing my horn 2 houses before the house I was to deliver to as we are all instructed to do. I ignored her and continued on. When she did this again several days later, I stopped and explained why I did it and now we wave to each other so sometimes it just takes a quick explanation. Of course, to be blunt, it was none of her damn business why I blew the horn, but taking the time to explain it to her saved me from possibly having to explain a concern to my center manager. Heffer hit it on the head--the pkg car sounds a lot louder if you are in 1st rather than 2nd and the "perception" on the customer's part is that you are driving a lot faster than you really are. Dilligaf, you are right but only to a point. If the street sign has another sign saying something to the effect of "Private Road/Way" attached to it then our access may in fact be limited; however, I don't think that this is the case here as there are several houses on this road and private roads are usually limited to one, or at most, two houses. Enjoy your weekend, chat with your center manager Monday morning, keep the vehicle in 2nd with speed reduced, ignore the morons, and take care of their neighbor. [/QUOTE]
