postman and WFH

I know this has been discussed before but can't find previous thread

My postman would not stop knocking earlier and the dog was going nuts.

I work from home and I was in the middle of a v important presentation to a client so I ignored the door.

for info, postman knows I work from home. If I can answer, I do, but I also have a parcel box and a sign on door saying to leave parcels in parcel box.

He ignored this today. Kept knocking. Dog getting more and more barky. Had to make apologies to the client to go an answer. Very big client, huge company, biggest deal in 3 years if we got this client.

The parcels didn't need to be signed for. Nothing valuable or mega expensive. Could have gone in parcel box.

I was also working upstairs at back of house. All lights downstairs off to make it look like no one at home. So not like he could see there was someone at home.

But he kept knocking and knocking and knocking.

AIBU to be really pissed off?

I know he's doing his job but his job includes putting parcels in a parcel box surely!

Had something similar yesterday at work funnily enough, delivery driver hammering on the locked door, repeatedly ringing the bell, trying the door, shouting.
I was walking with an elderly resident at the time, perhaps I should have dropped her on the floor and dashed off to get the parcel so delivery driver can get on his way without having to wait?
The OP was working as much as I was and had made arrangements if she was unable to answer the door for any delivery. If she was in work physically then the postie would have just been wasting his time, precious time apparently, keep knocking and carrying on. Could have used that time to deliver something else to someone else............
