Why are couriers miserable bastards?

Jontyponty yeah bill for sure, I know this is one of your bugbears. Is it totally rose tinted lies then? so many old dudes claim to have comfortably made loadsamoney back in the day. also i reckon i do loads of runs for the prestige value "look they must be important, they courierd it in". Once, when my mate got sacked from a particularly nasty job, I courierd his boss a jiffy bag of shit.

have you listened to the other things old couriers claim? all of the fun in being a vet of the circuit is you get to chat shit to every one who has done it for less then 5 years.
