'Gareth' the local driver for the North East has since the beginning of the pandemic tried very hard to demonstrate the fact he despises women, people who are shielding and the disabled and has now given me his hacking cough when I was unfortunate enough to be outside the building as he delivered half a damaged and torn parcel. I do hope he is well because that was a nasty phlegmy cough he had. Pity he hadn't got a handkerchief. Unfortunately Gareth is confused about never finding us in but then if he will go to the derelict land agent's office on the other side of the street..... lying about uis not being in because I am always in except for the couple of times a year I have to go to hospital. He has consistently attempted to confuse, bully, lie and intimidate but it hasn't worked because I anm partially deaf, I can however lipread ''for fucks sake'' and ''Jesus' when a parcel is thrown almost on my feet by a scowling male but just assumed DPD drivers were all-ill mannered louts with the same impenetrable accent. He has shouted down the intercom, banged on the door despite being told to use the intercom, played mind games, taken parcels away because he disputed that a shielding person did not have to give a signature, and deliberately dropped a parcel at my feet while coughing ostentatiously in my direction the one time he ran into me outside my flat. He has taken food deliveries away because he said it was a requirement to photograph the parcel with the _inner_ door open despite the fact I couldn't physically open the inner door and the upstairs hallway is our safe place. All this is without a mask. After he started taking parcels them back downstairs with him and dumping them on the steps of the building he began telling DPD he had been asked to return them to depot when he obviously had not. He has falsified time documents, said he has been when he has not and taken away half of a birthday gift while delivering part of the parcel and saying he was returning it to depot and claiming I SAID to take it away even though I said no such thing. I have only ever spoken to him once in case he gave me more verbal abuse. He has a foul mouth, an appalling attitude and deserves a criminal record and he must have a chronic cough because he always tries to cough at me as hard as he can. He has logged photos of empty buildings across that street and he knows damn well which building we are in because sadly for us the criminal little bully is the only DPD driver for the area. As a disabled person who was told to shield I know I am deliberately being abused by someone who resents that he has to work. Any more nonsense will be logged and taken to the police. Tried to phone customer services, no response. Appalling. Discriminatory and criminal.
