A Royal Mail postman has shared a “number eight” mistake that could stop households receiving mail. Ben Davis revealed all in a viral TikTok video seen 350k times.
In the clip, he said: “As a postman, the worst thing I ever see is when number eight have nailed on their number to the door upside down.
“They think number eight is the same whichever way – but no! You need to have the bigger loop underneath. Otherwise, it undermines the structural integrity of the eight, and it’s liable to topple and become an infinity symbol.”

He added: “If you live at number infinity Smith Road, you are never getting any post – thank you very much.” A TikToker replied saying: “There’s a house round the corner from me who’s used a nine as a six and it enrages me.”
“My husband recently put a new number six on our door and it’s slightly wonky,” a second said. “It’s slowly becoming a reason for divorce.”
A second commented: “I ordered a 90 and they send me 06, straight in the bin, what the heck.” Ben responded to the comment: “Absolutely fuming about this”.
And another wrote: “A six is not the same as an upside-down nine.” And another said: “Live at number eight… Immediately going to check my door…”
