To do unspeakable things to a delivery man with his own clipboard?

Waited in for a delivery today. It arrived, I opened the door. The delivery guy looked at his clipboard, looked at me and said "I've got a delivery for Mr X, you're not Mr X, are you?"

LIKE HE THOUGHT I JUST MIGHT BE MR !!!!!

I said "I'm MRS X"

So can I stick his clipboard where the sun don't shine, or should I book myself in for a complete makeover, and some plastic surgery?

To be mistaken for a man over the phone is almost forgivable but face to face?

Save yourself the money on the makeover and go for the clipboard option.

Was he tring to be clever?

you should have smiled sweetly and said "do I look like Mr X ?" and watched him squirm

I remeber once being given a load of abuse by a DM. I had just come home with the boys and the pushchair was by the front door, so he had to move it out of they way. he said something like "It's a good job I'm not a fucking fireman comeing to rescue you - tht't buggy's a hazrd. Move it out of the way"

I complained.

Well, I am growing my tash in preparation for another stab at waxing the bugger off, so I have quite clear stubble BUT I was wearing a fecking skirt.

I always feel like I look like a member of zztop at times like this. But it left me feeling fecking unattractive.

I think I was perhaps paranoid and oversensitive about being seen with my goatee, tbh. But... but but..HOW could he want me to confirm that I was NOT a bloke?

LOL

Perhaps he was making a joke? Sounds like the kind of inappropriate joke i might make, lol. [hopeful emoticon]

YOU ARE BEING PARANOID AND OVERSENSITIVE
he was being a 'clever' idiot

Looking at your profile pic, I can see how he may have been confused.

hecate · 03/04/2008 14:10

I know
I suppose I'd better go help him remove his clipboard then.......

you could always call his boss and suggest he go on gender recogntion training

hecate · 03/04/2008 14:23

HAHA!

hmmmm, Bearded tranny man with flabby man-boobs, in a skirt v bearded lady with saggy boobage, in unfashionable clothing.

I suppose I can see how it was hard for him

That cat picture is lovely!

hecate · 03/04/2008 14:31

Which one? The one who's adopted some puppies, or the one of my cat hurling?

OP posts:
StealthPolarBear · 03/04/2008 14:33

the puppy one -I don;t remember seeing the other one, off for a look

StealthPolarBear · 03/04/2008 14:34

the way my screen's tilted that one's a bit dark, I hadn't even realised there was a cat in the pic!
