I would find it hard to believe that I'm the only one with a route here. D:

So, have you now or ever had a paper route?


I currently have 2, it's 150papers or 34$ish a week. I love them except for two houses. One smells like cat pee and it's a bitch to get to the front door and the second on it has such a steep drive way and the teenager that lives there freaks me out. And then there is the house that always complains if the papers are wet when I delivered them in the rain [or like Friday's case, in a HUGE thunder and lighting storm.]

I used to have them when I was too young to get the job I have now. They were really good and I used to get paid about $60.
Then they started making all the people with routes wear GPS devices so they know that the papers were being delivered.
I quit after that. Grr

I deliver papers, I do two rounds delivering the local paper on Wednesdays.

One round has 210 papers, the other has 197 papers.

The pay's not bad, I guess. But I need to get a better job. I need to start saving for uni because I'll be going there in a year Surprised

I'm considering doing the paper-round/pamphlet distrubution thing, but you'd need a bike to get around our town, and bikes + steep hills = pain.

I've done that a few times. It's easier than a newspapers.


I had proper paper round when I was 11? I think I was eleven anyways, I know I wasn't supposed to be doing it because I was too young, but I did anyways.
Ugh, it was horrible, it put me off them for life. I don't know how many papers it was, I think about 80? But it was once a week on Thursday for 20 pound a week. It was pretty good pay actually.

I started it out doing it with my sister, but then she quit so I did it all myself.

I loved it at first, I thought I was so grown up because I had a job! But then I realised it was too much work and quit.

I'm too lazy to get a real job so I do things for my parents and Nan's and have a paperround.

I get on average £10 for about an hours work, my friends who have proper jobs are having to work crazy hours to get good money.

Though I'm thinking of quitting it and giving it to my sister in September.

I deliver 160 papers every Thursday.

Once I got attacked by this man. He ran out his house, threw the paper at me and screamed "I don't want your fucking leaflets" It scared me lmfao

When I turn 14, I'm going to try and get a paper round. At the moment, there is one Post Office and around 50 kids in the area turning 14 the same year as me. So I guess I gotta be quick >.>

I can beat that; Disgust
I was helping my friend with her paper route once, so that we could chill sooner, and it was around Christmas, and I just put the paper in the mailbox; and I saw these two people taking off their clothes like wild animals while frenchin'... And then one of them must've seen me; because the one person came out, and started to freak out on me, yelling "PERVERT! Get off of my property! NOW!" and shizz like that. Shocked
I was scared. lmfao

I used to deliver pamphlets for a pizza place for quite some time, until I finally quit because of the damn heat. I swear, I'd be dying as I had to pass them out to houses.

When I say it's a shite route...
8 roads. 177 papers.
Only one leaflet today, but it can get to loads.
Oh...And I have to deliver them the day they arrive, but nobody ever does, so I'll do mine tomorrow. And maybe on Thursdays.

And I have to walk lots. And then walk back home to refill.
And it's a bit of a walk Grr

I think I might put the remaining papers in a paper bag if I can get one.
It'll save me from having to walk back home.
