I have got two paper rounds, one is just one day a week which gets me between 20 and 25 quid a week. And I started a new one on Monday just gone. I was enjoying it, believe it or not. And I have to go round and collect the money from the customers, well today me and my brother were walking down one of the roads I deliver too.
And there was a group of lads, and 2 of them walked over to us. They started with the basic *****, ''what the **** are you looking at?'' when we never even looked in their direction, so I ignored them. I never even knocked on the houses to ask for the money, I was so scared. lol So as I was posting the paper in one house, one of the lads said to my brother to ''get out the ****ing street or I'll knife you''
Next minute I was getting told to empty my pockets, so without thinking I told my brother to run, and I just ran as fast as I could. I nearly got ran over twice, but luckily the street was right by our local barbers and we know the man in there because he's a friend of the family.
But there wouldnt have been this problem years ago, the world is so ****ed up. And the horrible thing is these kids must have only been about 13, and I know what you'll be thinking.. a 15 year old scared of a 13 year old. But they could have had anything on them, and my main priority was getting my brother home. Which I did.
So I phoned the paper company and told them I wouldnt be delivering them no more, shame because I was enjoying it. And the road we got threatened in is horrible, windows have been smashed and the residents cant afford a new one. And I knocked at an old womens yesterday who gets terrorised because of them lads, she ordered the local paper because she cant even go to the shop and get it, I just feel so sorry for her because I never even posted her one today.
I feel like going round and giving the lads a taste of their own medicine, but thats how murders beging. I'm just disgusted with today's society. Anyone else had a similar problem?
