aibu to think postman should not be changing tyres/ talking at length with people on his rounds?

[Nomorepat]

Waiting for an important letter which is dependent on what time I receive it today. So go for a stroll to see if postie is in area. There is he is in the next street changing some girl's tyre for her-I know this is not his car and ours is his last street. He then proceeds to chat to this girl for about 10 minutes, then another woman for about 5 minutes.

I am peed off about this. AIBU?

Poor old young Pike, he's the only one left.

Would you like to translate that so the OP can understand it

In any case, I've been waiting for a package for DS1 (a PS4, which is his birthday and Christmas present) today. It's coming by courier so I have been able to stalk my driver (dan, who I imagine as driving a PS4 story train around my local area) online. He's been driving around no further than 1.5 miles from my house all day but won't arrive here until between 6 and 7.

Except that I haven't been checking online all day, and neither has DS1. He's been at school and I've been Christmas shopping. Even before I was informed it would be ages, I wasn't behaving like the OP. And neither of us mind if he helps old ladies to cross the road and stuff while delivering stuff.

I'll report back on whether dan is wearing shorts. I know this is what really matters.

Also check to see if he has a copy of Mein Kampf tucked under his arm.

I wanna know about his calves...

Binky: I really don't think there is any possible way to explain this so that the OP will understand it. It is like trying to explain quantum mechanics to a gerbil. See, OP, that is a comparison!

Also check to see if he has a copy of Mein Kampf tucked under his arm.

I have an actual copy of Chairman Mao's Little Red Book, not autographed though sadly.

Fucking hell, this thread is ridiculous. Why ask the question "am i being unreasonable" if you aren't prepared for a fuckload of people to say "yes, you are, in fact"?

Go and post on the "validate my opinion and by the way, Hitler was just misunderstood" board instead.

Sadly, he's a delivery driver so I suspect that his calves may not get the use that your average postie's do.

I will definitely report back on how he was not like hitler.

AND IT IS ODIOUS ARBITRARY.

ODIOUS.

Odious, yet more accurate than any comparison the OP has made so far. Make of that what you will...

Actually, that's a total lie. Educating the gerbil would probably be much easier.

I bet his calves aren't odious.

We neeeed a emoticon.

I am going to be very disappointed if dan is wearing full length trousers now. I'm almost certainly going to have to rush to beat both DS1 and DH to answer the door, and then they'll want to know why.

I expect the answer that I need to report back to MN about his calves and whether he's sporting a hitler tache for movember will get confused looks.

Pike was your first real crush?

Oh you poor love.

Dh is doing movember. He has a mexican pornstar tache. Now THAT'S odious.

But he does have great legs.

Firstly, has anybody considered the possibility that Hitler was once a postman and while changing a tyre got his testicle caught in the jack, causing loss of said bollock? He was possibly so upset about it he decided to become a Nazi and invade places all day long?

Secondly, the opposite of Godwin's law, WWJD? What would Jesus do? If he was a postman and saw a person in distress would he go on his round or help?

I think there will soon be a new law to replace Godwins'. Tiggy's Law. As a thread goes on the more chance there is of somebody being compared to Nomorepat.

I like the Lemon French Fancy the best.

Mind you I can't talk, mine was David Bowie.

And I still would.

Oooh Barfa, bet you can't keep your hands off him.

Will that have anything to do with rear view mirrors Tiggy?
