Currently sick at home-messy pj bottoms tucked into socks, oversized, old striped jumper, hair scraped back…anyone else hate having to sign for Amazon type packages?! I have to walk to my gate too. Today, young done up woman, sure she was thinking ‘Lazy cow’ 🙈😫

You're ill, who gives a shit what anyone else thinks?

Bopk · 06/02/2024 12:54

That's me everyday.

They don't care.

CacenCaws · 06/02/2024 12:54

They don't care and neither should you

rubyslippers · 06/02/2024 12:55

Im sure the delivery driver wasn’t thinking about your appearance at all

UpUpUpU · 06/02/2024 12:56

They don’t care and you shouldn’t either!

I work nights so sometimes answer the door in my pjs in the afternoon, looking like shit. Non of their business. I used to apologise and explain but now so smile, say thank you and carry on with my day

Are you a mind reader??

Ktime · 06/02/2024 12:57

I don't care how I look except in the summer when I'm my summer PJs of a camisole and can't find my dressing gown so I try and hide behind the door to avoid the trigger happy drliver taking a picture of me.

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 06/02/2024 13:04

It’s ok. I always answer the door like that. I was outside the other day and Amazon suddenly loomed up out of the dark and shit me up. Nearly screamed in their face.

blackpanth · 06/02/2024 13:06

I couldn't give a shit. I always answer the door in my jarmies

This is how I look most days 🤣

I constantly answer the door to various delivery drivers in PJs or a onesie. It's all I basically wear when in here house and not going out. Why would I bother to get dressed if not going anywhere just because someone might appear at my door for 2 mins with a parcel?!? I very much doubt they care as long as you are clothed lol! . They probably see all sorts.

MadDogMama · 06/02/2024 13:07

I am a delivery driver, we visit a lot of people dressed this way, trust me, we don't care! And neither should you 😊

Ouchmyarse · 06/02/2024 13:08

I did have a package turn up when I was dying my hair the other day. I had my head wrapped up in clingfilm. I saw him so a double take so I just pointed at it and said, “I don’t want hair dye on the sofa” and he gave me the thumbs up.

Tilllly · 06/02/2024 13:12

Lacy negligée and heels tomorrow, OP, that'll confuse them

ParadiseLaundry · 06/02/2024 13:14

I wear my dressing gown over my clothes when I'm in the house to keep warm so the delivery drivers only ever see me in my dressing gown 😂 I've never really thought about it before!

Mermaidsarereal · 06/02/2024 13:14

This is me most days 😅 one day I even had a huge hole in my PJ bottoms, binned them now!🙈

Laiste · 06/02/2024 13:17

One cheeky Royal Mail postie said ''having a lie in!?'' <guffaw guffaw> when i answered in my PJs once.
I thought - you don't know what's going on in my life it could be something awful! Twat.

Megifer · 06/02/2024 13:17

Could be worse I once answered the door to the postman with my nipple poking out. I had false tanned and thought I successfully converted my vest into a boob tube while it was drying. I hadn't. And because I was all moist and warm off the false tan I didn't feel the air on my boob 😩

I know he noticed and god love him he just asked for my signature, patted the dogs head and told me to have a nice day.

Why have you got a door in your jarmies? 😕

Sorry.

idontlikealdi · 06/02/2024 13:18

I WFH, am usually in my pj bottoms with a nice top / jumper for meetings. Never occurred to me to think what the delivery driver thinks!

Deathbyfluffy · 06/02/2024 13:19

I've delivered in the past for a bit of beer money - trust me, no one minds.
If anything I was jealous that I was outside in all weathers and they were wearing comfy things indoors! 😂

PuttingDownRoots · 06/02/2024 13:20

I often get odd looks. Like... This house? Again? With another massive box?

We run a business from home. Its stuff for that, not online shopping for personal stuff. And if they catch us at the wrong time... we are PPE. It looks very strange.

Mercurial123 · 06/02/2024 13:21

The driver is only concerned about delivering the parcels. I doubt they give you a second thought. You're just a number on a very long list of deliveries.

Celeriacisquitenice · 06/02/2024 13:24

I never have to sign for Amazon (or any other) deliveries...they just leave them outside the door thankfully🤔
I'm in a reasonably quiet area in Ireland but still lots of neighbours. Front door is not overlooked if that makes a difference.

Paw2024 · 06/02/2024 13:24

My postman started delivering during covid
I said hi once when I had makeup and work clothes on and he did a double take GrinBlush
