So iv been fake tanning (as I'm a milk bottle) and the buzzer goes. I ran to it and buzzed him up. Grabbed a dressing gown ( as im wearing a steappy top and no bra, due to the fake tanning )and opened the door. The man looks me up and down and says "sorry to have woken you....Not like its the afternoon or anything Hmm". Cheeky fucker! My son then cane running at me in his stroller so I took my package said thanks and closed the door.

AIBU that I didn't tell the cheeky bastard to mind his own and kindly fuck off?? I wish I did now! Or sent my 6 month old after him!

I'd have told him to fuck off OP.

I genuinely never come across people like you in real life. And I cross all of the social spectrum. There is a few posters on here who say would tell folks to fuck off regularly. In the supermarket, delivery drivers , teachers, other parents,wait staff, shop assistants, hey want to tell everyone that makes even the slightest comment that they are a cunt and to fuck off to the other side of fuck.

Call my cynical but I think you'd have done no such thing and you've probably never told a stranger to fuck off. You might have thought it but uou haven't said it and just making out your rough as fuck for some reason on line.

You must be joking, Bluntness.

You've never come across someone who tells a cheeky twat to 'fuck off'?

Aww.

Salmotrutta · 27/05/2017 14:47

But we mustn't ever let menfolk catch us looking a mess NoFucksImAQueen!!! Grin

Oh wait... I forgot we're not in the 1950s anymore.

I wouldn't have actually said "fuck off" by the way. I doubt anyone would say it that direct, but In a jokey way could have told him he's a cheeky so and so.

I work shifts. For the emergency services.

I would have found it very rude. People have commented about waking me before, and i usually just say "yes, if i don't get sleep now I'll be no use working all night"

Parrcful · 27/05/2017 14:48

I answered the door to my local MP in my dressing gown at 11am today 😂

Bluntness100 · 27/05/2017 14:50

Not for this low level of misdemeanour no, usually the crime has to be a little more for people to tell a virtual stranger to fuck off so directly.

Maudlinmaud · 27/05/2017 14:51

When I'm ill I answer the door to various people in my pj's or heaven forbid a onesie Shock noone has ever said anything to me, but if they did I'd probably laugh. I suspect the hermes driver was trying to be humourous.

Chickenagain · 27/05/2017 14:52

You obviously live in a nice area OP and he was surprised to find such a slattern! In the crappier parts of town not getting dressed by the mid-afternoon is the norm.

forfuckssakenet · 27/05/2017 14:53

I honestly can't understand the cheeky replies you are getting here. Lots of posts are about things like this. Some of the best posts are about things like this? It's all ultimately drivel that's why I signed up. It's entertainment, it's support, it's a laugh. Why on earth is the OP being bashed?
Hmm

forfuckssakenet · 27/05/2017 14:54

And when I say drivel I mean stuff that is fun but not important (exactly the point of an Internet forum surely - did I miss the memo where we were supposed to come in here and ponder the meaning of life and share our most recent scientific formulas in the fight for medical advancement ffs)

forfuckssakenet · 27/05/2017 14:55

And yes he was a total dick.

SnickersWasAHorse · 27/05/2017 14:55

I'm amazed at the people who think this is a non event.

Would he have said that to a man? No.

There are 100 reasons why you might be in a dressing gown in the afternoon and exactly none of them are any of his business.

It's this kind if stuff that we are expected to brush off like it is nothing that leads to men thinking it is OK to say 'cheer up love' and other such shit.

eleanor1989 · 27/05/2017 14:55

chickenagain I really don't! I wish I did though

pipsqueak25 · 27/05/2017 14:57

would the driver commented had it be a man answering the door in his y fronts ? god, wish i hadn't said that i've got this horrible mental image now Grin.

ThouShallNotPass · 27/05/2017 14:57

Wow, these rude replies are just as bad as the rude Hermes driver.

For what it's worth, he WAS rude and deserved to be told to shut the fuck up. Missed opportunity there.

My husband often opens the door during the day to delivery drivers or random callers in his dressing gown. He works night shifts and even then, it would not be for the courier to make comment!
I sometimes have a bath during the day as it's when I get peace to do it. Should I stop just in case I'm not presentable when opening the door to unexpected callers?

Maudlinmaud · 27/05/2017 14:57

The telling someone to fuck off thing perplexes me too. I have been tempted to do this and may think it in my head but no I've never actually said it with venom. Sometimes I'll say "fuck off" in an incredulous sort of way.

forfuckssakenet · 27/05/2017 14:57

And a fuck off doesn't make you rough.

Pretty sure Prince Philip says it all the time.

WhereIsTheLikeButton · 27/05/2017 14:58

You must have so much time in your hands to be able to go online to make a thread about this. Jeez. (replying to you whilst phone is on charge. ) Has MN become social network for bored people with mostly nothing relevant to say?

Thanks for posting this, there was me thinking I was being unreasonable!

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 27/05/2017 14:58

It's not exactly entertaining, it was just a moan with aggressive swearing and responses.

PollyPerky · 27/05/2017 14:59

Oh FGS grow up, love.
In the scheme of things this is not important.

Did it ever cross your mind he may be having a joke with you?

Or just being a tad sarcastic?

If I am at home and don't want to answer the door I put a note on it 'Leave parcels with neighbour' or similar. So the moral of the story is, be prepared, or don't apply fake tan when home alone and a parcel may be delivered, or - the best of all- lighten up and get a sense of humour.

usershitloadofnumbers · 27/05/2017 14:59

Would he have said that to a man? No

There's always one Grin
I really should start playing that MN bingo I hear so much about.

HappyFlappy · 27/05/2017 14:59

I think that is a very cheeky remark, and I am from t'North, so generally regard comments like that as friendly banter - though I would probably have said something like - "Aye - It's great being a SAH mam, lying in bed till yon time - or it would be if check buggers like you don't wake me up!"

But I agree - it is cheeky.

SnickersWasAHorse · 27/05/2017 15:00

There's always one
It is true though, he wouldn't have done to a man so why would he say it to a woman?
