Mistaken for a courier

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? , my office has an enourmous turn over of concierge types and they always mistake me for a courier,

many bike shops do also , must be the NTV and general appearance ,

is this a good or a bad thing?.

Any thoughts?

There are worse things to be mistaken for, I suppose.

I always grab an envelope and pretend to be a courier when I pop in to see my hubby at work.

If there's anyone important visiting I can slope off unnoticed.

when you say mistaken for a courier do you mean ordered to do stupid things with your lid and generally looked down upon... if so, you need a shave and a new bike Razz

Try hanging about some hospitals. See if they give you any interesting organs.

Itchy why are you so obsessed with couriers? I'm sure there's a 'group' you can go to :S

Was Ferdy a courier? All I remember is he was a greasy gay biker...

Do you ride an Ugly-Pig's-Bitch-Dog Kwak or Suzuki?
Are you a bit dull?
Do you always carry a parcel, clip board and/or a walkie-talkie into your office.
If any of the above applies then I can't blame the guys.

I wouldn't mind myself. At least you get a chance to meet fit young women (briefly) you would never ordinarily get to meet. Embarassed

So long as they aren't mistaking you for a PARTICULAR courier!

Or Uglybloke Del Shocked

Quite agree with that, couriers always seem to have the best stories, purely because of the amount of miles they cover (which makes them a bit mad too Laughing

). Cmon Sickpup, hit us with a few of your golden oldies Mr. Green

It's not an exciting life just different.

I think everyone down south noticed the weather on Friday, it seemed to start about 2pm on my way down to Lancing and continued until I called empty in Cardiff at 1.30am on Saturday morning. 11.5 hours of riding in hellish dangerous weather conditions is not fun. 13 hours working, riding a bike is not fun.

But the pays good.

The main thing I find is that most of the lads get on very well with each
other.I guess most people that get into this job are into bikes first and
we all have that interest.
When I started I would get home and say I was here or there and the
strange things that I would see or I nearly got killed but now it's just
normal.
It can be some crack all the same. Smile

ZRX61 maybe the only ex courier here old enough to remember the song Demon Despatch rider which had the chorus 'Empty Wardour'? Wink

I probably do in london, something to do with the handlebar muffs cbf600 (easily mistaken for the 5) and the way I ride.
