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?

Our postman doesn't wear shorts either, which is a relief.

I agree the posts should stand, like the Box of Frogs farce, its good to read when you need reminding that you aren't the biggest twat in the world.

Our postman wears shorts and has dreads down to his arse.

And what Barf said.

Postmen have hairier legs than normal humans due to their orcish ancestry.

I think the OP might be the Box of Frogs poster as there can't be two people on MN who are utter loons.

What's the box of frogs farce?

The box of Frogs was one was brilliant.

The OP iirc was told it was a racist expression.

I think it was a thread in which the op insisted the term "mad as a box of frogs" was in fact terribly racist, and anyone who used it was a terrible racist.

Think it's here.

Thank you I will go have a read

How do you do that 'here' thingy on a link instead of the whole thing?

I think LadyBeagleEyes may well be correct.

Same poster.

Actually, I've asked mn for the whole thread to be deleted. They haven't done it-or not done it yet. The box of frogs one has nothing to do with me. Could it possibly be that there are two people who are 'hard of thinking' around here? .

Anyway, I'm going to stop posting on this thread now; in my experience once the poster who everybody swears at but likes really as they've brightened their whole day and given them somebody to swear at leaves the thread that's when the thread dies.

Hope this thread fades out now. Thanks for all replies.

I loved that thread!

Reeling, you square bracket x2[post the link then a space and what you want to say]]

Awww I hope they don't delete it. It's kept me amused all day

Don't let the door hitler you on the way out.

I think it might finish in 14 pages time.

It needs to go into classics.

I want it to stay!!

Don't let the door hitler you on the way out.

Ha!

at chipped.

chip :o :o

Love it love it love. Especially that Hitler was just misunderstood. I must remember to tell my Uncle, who spent years hiding in the Maquis in the 40s. He'll be delighted to hear it.

Our postman is friendly that he used to go into the same house up the road every morning for 'coffee'.

I don't know how the DH found out, but that put an end to Postie's 'coffee' breaks.

Why would mn delete it

You posted - no one agreed - it's a class to read :)
