What's the messiest you've looked for postman?

[Fanananaa]

I am waiting for postman to come and he's 1 stop away and I feel a mess. In my pjs with a long cardigan, no makeup and messy hair stuffed in a bun.
I have nowhere to go today do just having a lazy day but the poor guy is going to be greeted by a horror

In just a short dressing gown a lot of the time. But at least covered... my worst time was sitting on the sofa expressing milk with the other boob free, postie looks through living room window at me, sees I'm busy 🤦‍♀️ and mimes that he will sign for me and leave package on step. Still have the same postman now.

Ancient t-shirt, no bra, baggy shorts and (whisper it quietly) Crocs, straw hat with unbrushed hair poking out beneath, a la Worzel Gummidge. In my defence, I was digging the front garden at the time.

The clothes weren't the worst of it though, it was the unexpectedly loud fart that exploded due to the exertion of digging up a tough bit of ivy, approx a nanosecond before the postie called out "Morning".

Just a towel
Dressed but with a naked baby (mid nappy change) and it was a parcel we had been waiting on - sorry DD
Dressing gown hastily thrown on but obviously mid shag (it was our passports!)

DD a couple of weeks old. Nearly hallucinating with sleep deprivation.

Boob out. Poor man still can't look me in the eye 7 years later.

He now shoves the post at me and says "there you go Mrs X" and runs out of the corridor.

Lovely man.

The messiest I've been is probably when I was in the middle of transplanting things in the garden, so I would've been sweating profusely, wearing a raggedy, baggy, stained (and sweaty) t-shirt, filthy tracksuit bottoms (with holes!), and shoes on the verge of literally falling apart, with my hair held back by a bandana (worn à la The Karate Kid). I'm sure I looked lovely!

Husband opened the door to postman (quietly). I walked around the hall corner totally naked. Think I could have gotten away with it if I hadn't screeched, which made dh turn to the side to see wtf was wrong and give postman a full view before I'd gather my wits and ran back around the corner. 😂 Later found out postie is gay - not sure if that makes it better or worse, but he's avoided looking me in the eye for 2 years now. Bless him!

Only time I have had a reaction from our regular postie is when I answered the door fully dressed with hair and make up fully done because I was on my way out.
He actually did a double take haha.

Proves how awful I look usually

I've done the dressing gown and baby still attached to boob.

One day little boy opened door to delivery man when I was in shower. Thing was bathroom door was open (always left open in case kids needed loo) and position of shower directly in eye view from front door. Hope there was plenty of steam to shield my modesty.

This morning woken to doorbell. Was hungover and forgotten I'd ordered a Tesco delivery. Grabbed one of my work dresses out of drawer as I needed something to pull on quick. After delivery I caught sight of myself in mirror - obviously bra-less, smeared mascara and hair like a scarecrow. Lovely.

I always have a laugh with mine that I'm so rarely dressed when he knocks. One day I answered the door in my nightwear, as usual, and said confidently "I'm dressed for a change!" And the poor chap looked really confused! :)

Surely there's time to at least big out a push up bra and some french silk nightie, style your hair and put on some make up. Why would you greet your postman looking anything less than like you've just stepped out of a magazine.
