This happened today.
I drive lorries for a living, and I work for a company that delivers car parts to all the big name car franchises.
I drive the same route every day, same franchises every time (6 of them). This suits me because I like knowing what I’m going to be doing (I’m diagnosed with ASD).
Today I get to franchise number 4 and I can’t gain entry because they’ve changed the padlock, this one is 5 digits instead of 4. I call the office and this is how the conversation goes:
Me: I’m at [franchise 4], have you got the new code for the padlock as it’s been changed since I was last here.
Manager: Yes it’s ****.
Me: That’s the old code. I’ll have to refuse delivery and it can be delivered tomorrow.
Manager: You can’t do that. You’ll have to go and do the other 2 and come back when it’s open.
Me: You’re now adding on to my day, my time. Why should I be fucked around for other people not doing their jobs properly?
Manager: Well it’s your job.
Me: It’s my job to be fucked around for other people not being able to do their jobs correctly? I don’t think that is my job.
Cue silence…
Me: I have to go, got a job to do.
Hung up.
I think I’ll be handing in my resignation very shortly.
