To think it’s unprofessional to deliver stuff with a lit cigarette in your mouth?

[wishiwasinthe80s]

😂😂 I know this is proper pearl clutching.

Just taken in a parcel and the driver had a lit cigarette in his mouth. I must have had thousands of deliveries over the years and that’s never happened.

it’s unprofessional right?

Postman yes. Midwife, not so much

Only on MN.
😉

I don't think that taking a cardboard box that stinks of cigarette smoke in to my back garden and opening it, then leaving the box there, is outlandish as some of you are trying to make out...

If I wrote what I think about you then I would get a ban.

no bad thing

Also, why are people acting like it's the worse job in the world? Lots of people are paid the absolute minimum - would you be ok with your Friday night takeaway being delivered to you by someone with a cigarette in their mouth?

no i wouldn’t be ok with it
and i wouldn’t like my parcel stinking of smoke
but i wouldn’t report it if a one off
if repeatedly, then yes i would

And precisely what do you mean by that?

pretty clear i think 😆

Grim, I’m all for the next level of smiling ban.

I honestly don't think I'd even notice - certainly not enough to care about it, anyway.

People smoke - being exposed to it for two seconds when you answer the door isn't going to harm you or cause a problem.

I can always tell who the new people who sign up to Mumsnet are so enlighten me with your wise words.

That would be pretty sad...

Wow what a lot of fuss!
poor man isn’t doing any harm (apart from to himself)
people need to lighten up! There are a lot worse things going on

Many on here would have hated it years ago, cigs behind the ear or hanging out of the mouth of pretty much any bloke delivering stuff or labouring in public

(milkman strolls to the back door as housewife is bent over sweeping the kitchen floor with a dustpan and brush, fag in hand)

”Alright darling, is your ‘usband at ‘ome?”

housewife “ooooh you sausebox hahaha” said barbra Windsor style.

Deliverymen are so dull now 😂😂😂😂

You should report him to his employer then congratulate yourself when he loses his job.

I personally long for a society in which everyone lives in fear of being reported if they accidentally irritate/offend/inconvenience someone.

honestly? can’t be arsed

how many years ago are you referring to?!

Just far enough back before everyone became uptight prat’s who are offended by everything and have no sense of humour I guess!

the example you outline sounds…. pretty gross by any measure!

😂😂😂😂 I love Mumsnet sometimes

I can be arsed to find out so go on lovely tell me or do you have maths homework to do?

😑auto correct being evil.

you sound a little…. scary so…. i pick maths homework!

After i’ve squirted next door neighbours wretched cat with a water gun for shitting in my garden that is! I’m off, got to act quickly!
