My husband did back in the day and he recalls some funny (weren't so funny then) stories.
The funniest story I heard was last week. One of my regulars was telling me about a person on his route who had a crow that used to dive bomb him on the head. This went on for about 2 years. He says, probably the neighbors got tired of the crows actions, because one day----the crow suddenly disappeared. He says, he wasn't too unhappy either and that neighbor didn't seemed concerned!

I did have a paper route when I was 12. One time my feind and I were collecting the weekly money and one lady owed us 80 cents. She gave us $5.10, thinking she had given us a 30 cent tip. My friend and I were wide eyes thinking we had gotten a $4.30 tip. 2 minutes later she came running down the hallway of the building yelling out, "Did I give you a 5 dollar bill? I meant to give you a dollar bill!"
We had to exchange it. So much for big bucks that week!

My husband was born in 1926 and as soon as he was old enough he had paper routes and magazine routes. He has always LOVED making money. LOL! I don't know how much he made, but it was a good amount for the time. He bought a bike, then a motor bike, later on a car. So he did pretty good. Adults deliver the papers now...they have to have two cars at their disposal. Here in our city of 100,000 people we are charged by mail. We can pay by the month or every three months. I'm sure it is very hard to go door to door and get paid in this day and age. And dangerous.

No, I delivered telephone books. I don't recall any funny stories to tell.

I started delivering papers window to window. I was fired after one week.
