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?

The postie wasn't changing the tyre, he was pretending to. He didn't want to make eye contact with the weirdo that follows him for 15 minutes at a time. I can imagine it now. "...yeah, busy,busy,busy you know how it is. What about you? You been up to...SHIT! Here comes that mad woman that stares and tuts at me then asks me when her Puzzler subscription is. Quick, bend over and look at this wheel with me til she's done one..."

Goodness.

We call it the BarfaRepeller 3000. He drinks something, gets beads on his facial hair which reminds me of pubic hair then chases me around the house for a kiss.

Roll on sunday.

Bleeeuuurgh.
Don't let him eat cereals with milk on, it is vile.

My DH couldn't grow a tache even if he wanted to! He'd love to grow an odious Mexican pornstar tache, but very little hair grows upon his upper lip.

Although, even if he could, it would be blonde. And that would be wrong.

She's not a troll, she's just a meanie.

I agree. She is a meanie.

Ok, so either

a) she's a troll - in which case this thread should be deleted

or

b) she's a truly horrible person who finds it amusing to talk about Hitler having 'good intentions' - in which case she should have her posts deleted

Either way, there needs to be some serious deleting going on here.

And I bet my post gets deleted before any of OP's do.

Just wait, we'll be deleted for personal attacks. Because it's still an insult, even if it would only offend a preschool child.

I don't know if she's a troll but this thread is funny.

Reference to Tiggy's Anal Viewers Reeling.

I used to prefer the chocolate French Fancies, but definitely lemon all the way now.

Not troll. Just pure unadulterated evil.

I mean chocolate is always good, but after I got into lemon...I just can't go back...

But Heartbroken, the OP's posts are so patently ridiculous that no one actually agrees with her that hitler was just a bit misunderstood.

If you're worried you should report the thread. Then we can get a hilarious MN intervention post. I'm sure whoever's on moderation tonight has lots to say about nice calves and shorts.

She's not a troll, she's a very naughty boy girl.

Arbitrary, dh is ridiculously hairy. Even on his head. Which is reminiscent of an egg.

Yeah, just been back through the thread and my post yesterday where I called the OP a cockwomble has been deleted.

But Hitler's 'good intentions'? Yeah, let's keep those, shall we?

I think there has been some funny content from other posters, but all the thread is illustrating is that it appears to be fine to come on here and post offensive stuff and keep goading (because it is goading) to get reactions from people, but if you respond to that goading, you get deleted.

Back to front.

A hairy egg though. Those are rare and valuable.

Dh has more than a touch of the Freddie Mercury's about him. Roll on Sunday.

But keeping the Hitler references up just shows how ridiculous the OP is being.

Leave them, then you can see what people are really like (unless they nc)
It's AIBU so it doesn't go away.

Kill her with kindness.

Hairy eggs you say.

I think I'm not in the right frame of mind for this today, am I?

I usually see the funny side, but this is just pissing me off now.

I will go and lie down in a quiet room for a couple of hours and try again tomorrow.

I can't comment on my postie's legs as he's well-old and he sneaks the post through the front door when I'm not looking anyway!

Moving on from Hitler, why DO posties wear shorts year round? Is it to see if they can? My parents' postman slipped and fell on the ice a couple of winters ago. The bruised backside and concussion was one thing - the hypothermia merely added to his woes.

I don't see that the OP 's hitler posts actually break any rules though. The reasoning and the sentiment are bloody stupid, but there are no MN rules against being a bit hard of thinking as far as I know.

In any case, they serve perfectly to illustrate just how reasonable the OP is being. Which is not at all. So unreasonable that she hasn't ever been acquainted with reasonable.

Is that a euphemism for something Heartbrokenmum ?

did we find out what was so important in yesterdays letter

and did op's plans change today - as she said in her first post

as seems to be on mn a lot so cant be that busy

What's with all these postmen with shorts on?
I have two, a man and a woman who will pick up stuff at the shop for you if you ask them too. It's very rural here in the Highlands and we know them as post and * post so as not to mix them up with other villagers and they work alternate days and drive a PatVan.
They never wear shorts but one brings his dog with him and they stop and chat to everybody.
No shorts though which can only be A Good Thing.

Yourma, you have my sympathies. I am going to do a countdown clock, at 00.01 I shall be standing over eggwardo the pornking dh with a razor and foam.
