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?

My Evri guy and I are on first name terms 😂😂 I didn’t get a parcel for a while and he said he thought I was dead I laughed 😂😂

My main takeaway from this thread is that UK posties still knock on the door and talk to people. Here in Australia (at least in my city), they dump your parcel by the front door and fuck off. If you’re very lucky, they might ring the doorbell to let you know it’s there.

Anyway. As you were.

Depends on where you are in Oz. I live in a small country town and the postie and I have been on first name terms for many years. He always knocks and we often exchange a few pleasantries.

We share a laugh sometimes but he's always polite, never cheeky.

This postman clearly doesn't. This postman is not the same as your postman. It's a completely different situation. How come you can't see that? This postman ignores OP and clearly isn't joking or he would make the same jokes with OP about her husband if a comparison could be drawn to your situation. Since this is not the case, it's clearly a different situation.

Poor postie. He’s only making conversation

my delivery man says I keep him in business

am I offended

course not

We have a lot of deliveries to my house and I make jokes like this to the postman and delivery people because I think they must be sick of having to come to my house so often

He’s commenting to your husband about your spending and said it’s out of control.Yes, he is a CF.

If you had said it was your MIL instead of your postman you would’ve got entirely different responses.

This reminds me of a woman on the checkouts at our local Tesco.😂😂😂Though her comments aren’t as extreme as in this clip. She comments on most of my shopping. If she’s there then DD pulls me over to her checkout even if it means waiting longer in the queue.

Does he say to another that he thinks your shopping is out of control?

Like this you mean? 😆

Open the door yourself.

No just things like one time I got some of the thin crumpets oh I like my crumpets thick. Or oh maltloaf I've not had that for years will have to get some. Another time it was some marble painting sets ooh look Jane you've been waiting for them to be reduced. She did comment once you must really like me to keep coming back to my checkout. Nobody forgets DD😂😂😂She looks like she's in her 50's or 60's and by the way she speaks I think she has false teeth.

That's mental. 😆

Then he can tell me.

No

but if he did , I would remind him that he gets paid to deliver to me

*his. He’s means he is

Postman's been at it again. One parcel containing a pair of jeggings required another comment from the postman to DH namely "Surely, she's bought enough stuff for Christmas by now!" On and on they go, judgemental, intrusive comments!
Even DH who really doesn't care what people think or say thinks it's time for him to button it and just deliver the parcels!

Bloody hell, he's a piece of work. I wouldn't be able to keep quiet about this.

'Surely you've made enough cunty comments by now?'

You sound like a very crude person!

You needn't be crude, but, "Surely you've made enough comments about my mail by now!" would be a very suitable riposte imo.

Try chatting and having a laugh. We’ve got to know our postman through doing that and he has diverted letters to us that had the wrong address on, been thoughtful with parcel deliveries etc. it can pay off just being nice.

It was meant to be a light hearted suggestion, made because I was actually on your side.

I mean, this is my meaning. I just made the mistake of trying to be funny.

And can I remind you that you've used the word 'fucker' in your post title? Glass houses and all that, yeah?
