Comeuppance
Are you glad when Folks get it? I had to deliver a package to a house, where historically, I had been kept waiting, on previous occasions. I parked the car up, and approached the front door, on the front path, I encountered what I believed to be the daughter of the household, so, success I thought, no waiting today, but the lass said "I am in a hurry, knock the door", so I did and waited a fair while, eventually, the door opened, and I delivered the package, feeling short changed I returned to the car, only to find that I had blocked in the lasses car, so she had been sitting there for the same amount if time, such happenings make life still worthwhile.

We often keep callers including delivery people waiting a bit as we are usually upstairs in our rooms when they come. My husband is particularly slow about walking up and downstairs, since his illness. Some of these delivery drivers expect the door to be opened the second they press the bell!
