To think the amazon delivery man was being unreasonable

I didn't want to answer the door for a delivery, I was cooking lunch. It was a multipack of toothpaste through amazon, less than £10, so not expensive. Rather than just leaving it at the front door, the delivery man went around the back where he could see me cooking 😐

You poor darling. You must be traumatised.

EvilElsa · 12/09/2023 16:24

He saw you cooking?! 😱
How will you ever recover?

Lol it's annoying but they only get paid if they deliver the package to you.

One Amazon woman actually walked into my house and left a parcel in the hall because i was upstairs having a lie down and couldnt be bothered to come downstairs. I could have fucking punched her but I guess some of the blame does have to lie with us. If we order something then we should take it when it comes.

Why was your front door unlocked?

IncompleteSenten · 12/09/2023 16:25

Nothing about that is unreasonable. On his part.

CatamaranViper · 12/09/2023 16:26

What did you want him to do?
Leave it on the doorstep and potentially get nicked? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Why was your front door unlocked?

None of your business.

Bigminnie1 · 12/09/2023 16:27

Chowtime- what a ridiculous reply.

SimplyDiana · 12/09/2023 16:27

Par boiling live goats 😂😂

OP, there’s definitely nothing wrong with him
leaving the present by the back door. He’s likely seen much worse than you cooking. Mine often sees me looking like the grudge after a night shift.

WeakAsIAm · 12/09/2023 16:27

I never understand the logic of these types of posts.
You order something for delivery then her cross when someone tries to delivery your order.
Delivery person couldn't win

Thebigblueballoon · 12/09/2023 16:27

Uh huh. 🙄😂

Redskyatwhatever · 12/09/2023 16:28

“Where he could see you cooking”, OMG were you naked and dancing around your kitchen while suggestively sucking a wooden spoon? If so you probably made his day if not get a grip for goodness sake.

F1ymetothetoon · 12/09/2023 16:28

Batshit

ApolloandDaphne · 12/09/2023 16:29

Why wouldn't you want your parcel to be delivered. This makes no sense at all.

Starchipenterprise · 12/09/2023 16:29

Absolute first world problem. I wish my problems were so simple! He was doing his job. Imagine you hadn't received it then you complained to Amazon...

Viviennemary · 12/09/2023 16:30

YABU. Answer the door.

enchantedsquirrelwood · 12/09/2023 16:31

They always leave the parcels outside the front door where I am!

Chowtime · 12/09/2023 16:31

Bigminnie1 · 12/09/2023 16:27

Chowtime- what a ridiculous reply.

It isn't a ridiculous reply. It was a ridiculous question. There is no need on this earth for you to know why my door is locked or unlocked. (why do you want to know that anyway?) The reason my door was unlocked is absolutely none of your business. This thread is about the OP and her delivery.

Noodlewave · 12/09/2023 16:34

Call 101 and get it logged OP

AngelAurora · 12/09/2023 16:35

Answer the door instead of creating an issue. 🙄

Everanewbie · 12/09/2023 16:35

Afraid YABU here OP. Man was doing his job. Presumably you'd have complained too if he'd have left it on the doorstep and it rained, or someone nicked it?

TheFormidableMrsC · 12/09/2023 16:37

What an absolute delight you sound OP. Man is doing his job and trying to deliver safely and you're moaning about it! Get a bloody grip!

andrainwillmaketheflowersgrow · 12/09/2023 16:39

The audacity 😂

HollaWithDaRisinSound · 12/09/2023 16:41

Were you cooking a brace of live hamsters, in the buff?

What? Where's the unreasonable part? Confused

The part where she didn't want to answer the door to an order that she had requested be delivered to her home.
