Ordered a pizza at 3.30 last night as was peckish and couldn't sleep. Was paying by cash. I was the only one in the house at the time (I'm pretty small and young-looking, mid 20s).

Anyway, the delivery guy pulls up and I run out with the cash to greet him before he rings door bell to stop him waking neighbours. He seems like a nice enough guy etc, but physically very solidly built, tall, big. He asks to step inside so he can read the bill in the light. He's literally towering over me blocking the door-frame.

All was fine and I paid but for a moment I got extremely paranoid that it was very easy for something to have happened, if he wasn't that nice. I had literally just brought a random stranger into the house.

Aibu to think he could have made a note of the bill amount in the car so I could have paid him asap rather than fumbling with the receipt.

I totally get why you felt like you did OP, I probably would have too. He was probably very unaware of how you might feel though and was just trying to do his job. Next time have a torch on hand :)

I would love to know why some women feel the need to attack the OP? Men commit the vast, vast majority of sexual crimes, he was far bigger and stronger than her and she was in a potentially vulnerable position. Our lovely media drums into us that as women were not safe, and then you blame women for hearing it and having a reaction.

For fuck sake, blame men for making us feel unsafe, don't blame women for having moments of fear.
