This viral thread raises some serious questions about Postman Pat’s competence
Everybody knows Postman Pat, the lovable mailman from Greendale, who goes about his work accompanied by his faithful companion, Jess, the black and white cat. However, not everybody will have given him as much in-depth thought as @Cain_Unable on Twitter.
He’s given Pat’s work ethic and attitude so much thought that it’s filled this critical thread, which has gone viral as people wake up to Pat’s failings. See if you agree.
I don't mean to be needlessly controversial but we need to talk about Postman Pat. That guy is utterly incompetent & I'm so sick of his bullshit. Any other job & he'd be sacked. He delivers like one parcel a day. ONE! And it takes him all day, even when he uses one of the

delivered an unsealed bee hive. UNSEALED! Did any of the bees escape? Of course they fucking did! ALL of them. Why hasn't he been sacked?! Why?! I have some theories but I'll save them for my full exposé on this maniac. One week he actually got his head stuck in a tree (below).

Alf was in like a shot of course as you can see. I don't blame Pat for that obviously, that's on Alf, but Jesus Pat, how do you get yourself in these ridiculous situations? Is he trying to get himself sacked? He must be. The whole village had to get him out, I suspect they're pic.twitter.com/fAFuQw4kvC
