Postman - embarrassing situation

I had a package delivered this morning, that I signed for, from a well known website which sells 'adult products'.
The postman has been delivering to me for a few years and we generally exchange small talk. I noticed this morning he looked a little 'embarrassed' as I was signing...
When I brought my package into the house I saw that the parcel was ripped (as if torn on machinery) and the packaging which was showing left very little to the imagination ! Blush
How on earth do I face this lovely (near retirement) chap again Confused

OMG this has just reminded me of the time I was cleaning in a customers house. The window cleaner had rung the doorbell but 1) I had just left the door unanswered as I was there to clean and 2) I had no idea the customer used a window cleaner and the window cleaner was now cleaning the windows.

I went for a wee with the door open as I was alone in the house. I realised I had started my period without warning so was doing a kind of waddle whilst bunching up a load of toilet paper as I needed to get to my handbag for sanpro. Looked up at some point and realised the window cleaner was cleaning an upstairs window and had a straight view of me, bare of arse, knickers down, stuffing toilet paper in my pants. It was the most humiliating thing ever AND I had to have a conversation with him afterwards to say there was no payment left out for him.

I still remember it clear as day and it was about 20 years ago! Blush

Selfloathing jeez so much hatred, what's up with you?
I'm a total prude in public and felt embarrassed when my neighbour caught me snogging my husband, so yes I would be squeamish too if my postman (who I stop and have chats with) saw a vibrator delivered to me.
If you have nothing nice to say, whu say anything at all?

DustyMaiden brilliant!

Wouldn't embarrass me at all. Embarrassing would be going out with your skirt tucked in your big knickers, not ordering a vibrator. You're a grown woman.

Are you for real?

I'm shocked that so much was on show from the packaging. Usually - from what I have heard! - it's all plain brown paper and black boxes with nothing on show at all.

Bit puzzled why this is in Relationships unless OP and postie are really close.
