Tesco delivery man blasting music

[bmrising]

I just had my Tesco shopping delivered and the delivery man was blasting music so loud! I could hear it from inside my house whilst I waited for him to knock.

Not massively bothered but seemed odd that they would have it blasting while unloading the van at this time and my young DS has just gone to bed, his bedroom window is at the front directly above.

AIBU or is it a bit unprofessional really?

Nobody should be blasting music in public so that other people, also in public, can hear it. If you want to listen to music, you should listen in a closed space without disturbing others or using earphones/headphones. From a car or van, it shouldn't be heard on the street let alone in someone's house.

First world problems

You've too much time on your hands

I mean, if it were Rolf Harris' greatest hits or lostprophets, I might have an issue with it.

I’m finding it annoying too, it is anti social.

You sound like a regular moaning fusspot. Honestly of all the trivia folk get annoyed at this seems more than a bit over the top. He probably didn't realise the road outside your house has been designated by you to be a quiet zone.

You can hear it from where you are? Wow.

You must hate ice cream vans...

Thoughts and prayers for you at this difficult time.

Poor bloke is stuck in a van all day probably rushing to get to people within their time slots! I wouldn't begrudge him his tunes!

What was he listening to?

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of people who when they become parents expect the rest of the world to know it's their child's bedtime and to be quiet .

It's like that all time where we live in south London. I don't even notice it half the time.

OP- I completely sympathise and understand, despite the majority thinking differently

We've just finished renovating and were living in a static van in the garden for 2yrs. We often had trades arrive early and sit in their van playing music. Even with all my window closed- I'd get woken by the thud, thud of their music. Its almost like a workvan or car projects and concentrates the sounds out!

I really don't think people realise how loud it is, because when you are driving along, there is alot of outside noise, wind, cars etc. Its only when you stop that a radio can be ridiculously loud.

Ah well....never mind

Loud music from a vehicle is a bit intrusive but it's usually fleeting so no harm done, particularly at only 8pm. As a PP has said, probably keeping him awake and motivated after a long day.

Try Ocado

Wooptie fucking ping.

If it was midnight then you might have a point but you posted before 8pm.

I don’t see anything wrong with loud music.

Just because he’s a delivery guy, doesn’t make it any different.

How are you going to cope in the summer when the ice cream van comes around 😁

Does it affect how he does his job ?

I blast my music in my car after a night shift, keeps me awake on the way home. I do turn it down as I get closer to home.

I too can hear fireworks (West London) maybe practise for 5 November!

1st world problem right there! sorry OP doesn't feel like an issue to me

I think YABU it's a hard job. Whatever keeps their energy levels up. I mean it really is gruelling. Probably listening to music you like whilst doing it is the only perk...

I know someone who works for a supermarket delivery always blares music loud. The manager often uses van after him and never says anything about the volume

Could you hear it as he drove down the street or when he parked up? Have to say it wouldn’t bother me - in fact it would help as the Halloween decs mean I can’t see when he arrives atm. I’m on first name terms with my Tesco man 😂
