Is our postman a cheeky fucker?

I have just lost 3 stone in weight and decided to buy a new second hand wardrobe through Ebay. I will admit that I have been purchasing a lot of clothes etc.
Our postman keeps commenting to my husband about the parcels arriving on a daily basis. On one occasion he said to my husband "She must have bought the whole shop by now! The other day he said "There were no parcels for a few days, so I thought that things were under control!"
This is not even a postman we have known for many years, he's only been our postman for about 18 months.

I feel annoyed that he thinks that he has any right to comment on my parcels.
He's job is to deliver the mail and keep his opinions to himself.
Is he a cheeky fucker or AIBU?

You need to relax and get a sense of humor.

Unclench - he is just making a bit of chit chat

He’s trying to be friendly and establish a relationship and rapport with his “clients”.
Maybe ill-judged in this case, but I doubt he thinks twice about you once he’s closed your gate.

The next thread will be from someone saying that these days no one talks or makes polite conversation (ie in shops) .. I can see why you’re mentioning it, but honestly. … Unclench. … and well done on losing the weight.
