Is our postman a cheeky fucker?

[Sam9769]

I have just lost 3 stone in weight and decided to buy a new second hand wardrobe through Ebay. I will admit that I have been purchasing a lot of clothes etc.
Our postman keeps commenting to my husband about the parcels arriving on a daily basis. On one occasion he said to my husband "She must have bought the whole shop by now! The other day he said "There were no parcels for a few days, so I thought that things were under control!"
This is not even a postman we have known for many years, he's only been our postman for about 18 months.

I feel annoyed that he thinks that he has any right to comment on my parcels.
He's job is to deliver the mail and keep his opinions to himself.
Is he a cheeky fucker or AIBU?

You need to relax and get a sense of humor.

Yes.

Chill out.

The next thread will be from someone saying that these days no one talks or makes polite conversation (ie in shops) .. I can see why you’re mentioning it, but honestly. … Unclench. … and well done on losing the weight.

He’s trying to be friendly and establish a relationship and rapport with his “clients”.
Maybe ill-judged in this case, but I doubt he thinks twice about you once he’s closed your gate.

Unclench - he is just making a bit of chit chat

Read this again.

I read posts like this and wonder why people no longer seem to have a sense of humor.

He's just making conversation.

This is not even a postman we have known for many years, he's only been our postman for about 18 months

What difference does that make??? It clearly is ALOT of clothes! He is trying to make a joke! Even if it was my job, I'd too would be making a joke like that for having to carry daily packages to house. How many clothes do you need?

Your husband must be reciprocating if postie knows the contents of the parcels. If there was no back and forth, this joke would have died down a long time ago. It’s not personal to you - it’s between them.

It won’t kill you to have a sense of humour op.

Ffs it's just a joke. You must clear the room at parties.

It's just a joke, bit of light-hearted banter.

I'd try and chill out.

I'd be glad he's actually delivering them. Why does it bother you, really?
He touched a nerve, that's all. Your ebay parcels could have anything and everything, most people wouldn't think twice about him

Well i agree with you OP.

How condescending and patronising the guys talking about the little woman in that way.

I would be furious. And if your H is joining in with this patter I would be having words with him.

What a bit like this?

All the postie is trying to do is getting your stuff through your door.
A little joke too much? Maybe he's a little insensitive, maybe not.
Walking in silence? Blessed be the post?

My friend's postman, and whatever couriers deliver to her, are like this. She finds it funny. It's lighthearted humour. They don't actually give a shit about what's in the boxes.

same, OP. Only for me it's Vinted and the guy in the local shop where I pick up. He mentioned yesterday he hadn't seen me for a couple of days and was worried....!

It's called banter. Shame so many people are so up themselves these days.

I think my postman is pretty sick of all my parcels too after a 5 stone weight loss.
I keep asking him if he knows what a door bell is because he never rings it.

Agree with everyone else. It's a joke. He doesn't actually give a shit about what you buy, why or how often.

lol I saw my postman the other day walking down the road and he said he thought I’d moved as he hadn’t been to my house with a parcel in so long 😂

hes just making small talk, chill out

Furious & having words, might as well just jump to ltb 🤣
