Post with their big logos plastered all over the envelopes!

[HooNoes]

I can tell what the post is before I open it.
It's not a surprise anymore?
e.g. Local council and hospital use a sort of green recycled paper - council will have COUNCIL on the back and hospital usually has the consultancy in the address screen.
Today, I got a letter from the Post Office and one from my life assurance company. Haven't opened either of them but I know what they are.

Postmen/women must fucking know everything there is to know about an individual!!! I mean in rural Ireland years ago, the postman would recognise from the stamp that you got a letter from Americay or Liverpool or the likes, but seriously. My postman must know everything about me!
Let alone what the Amazon man knows!!

Well, no. He knows you get post from the council, it I’m pretty sure most people do. He knows where some of your post is from, not what it’s about.

Let alone when it comes from my MP because that comes in a sort of yellowish envelope with 10 Downing Street plastered on the outside.
My bank sent me one the other day which said on the back 'this contains marketing material'. FFS. Want to tell postie my bank balance and all?

I don’t think the postie would really notice or care?

I'm sure your Postie is too busy to be bothered looking at what mail you're getting.
Delivering the same mail day in day out to every household they don't give it a second glance.

I am a Postie.

Yes, I can tell when you have some kind of insurance renewal if you choose to have paper copies sent.

Yes. I can tell where you do your shopping (assuming you use Tesco club card or Sainsbury Nectar)

I certainly know if you've been speeding.

I can tell if you have a child due his/her vaccinations.

And even on unbranded boxes/envelopes I can tell if you've ordered from certain adilt websites as I recognise the PO Box return address.

Most official mail has a return address on it, so I can tell where you are getting mail from, just not what's in it.

But to be honest, I don't care

The postie could not give a flying fuck what is in your mail. They are currently under so much pressure to get the job done, plus all the additional parcel deliveries they are having to do that they really do not take the time to register that Mrs Smith got a letter from her doctor or council

Is this really about a sex toy order, OP?

My bank sent me one the other day which said on the back 'this contains marketing material'. FFS. Want to tell postie my bank balance and all?

That just means you don't have to bother opening it as it's junk mail!

At least he’s posting them into your door, not like this poor postie in Japan who was hoarding post for fear he’d look bad in comparison to younger posties!

Didn’t the post mistress listen in to phone calls too in rural Ireland, and send a lad over to your house with a message if she couldn’t get an answer when she connected the call? All part of the service I’d say?

Me? Sex toys?

Even postie knows I don't go in for that kinda shit. Mind you the shop across the road probably knows that I'm on a dating website.

No, I just think that all put together it's too much for one person to know!

Lol I once bought some condoms direct from Durex who on their website assured me my order would be sent in plain packaging. Well it was but the return address clearly said Durex and the postie left it with my neighbours!

Some elderly friends of my parents (they were just newly together) once referred to my uncle's dog as the Durex dog, rather than the Dulux dog (can't think of the breed).
Yes, we all knew what they were up to. And it wasn't going to Mass!!!
