Delivery drivers

I had a delivery this morning that I signed for and the guy did that 'any problems love just give them a ring' thing with a friendly pat on the arm and a hand run over my breast. I didn't say anything, of course I couldn't, he'd just have claimed it was an accident and then would have had the satisfaction of getting a response. Fuckers. I fucking hate how men do this. I've just been assaulted in my own home in front of my children.

'any problems love just give them a ring'

I think you should do exactly that. His behaviour was a problem, so give them a ring. Even if he claims it was an accident, he should be given some clear direction on staying out of other people's personal space. If he has several of these 'accidents' reported then hopefully something will be done. The one thing you can be sure of is that if you don't report, he's got away with it.

I'm sorry for you op and despite being a confident and self aware woman, like yourself, I'd be worried about making a mountain out of a mole hill, Misreading, costing a man his job, coming across as hysterical and being laughed at.

But I still would and the reason is this, this could be one of 5 complaints needed to get this man off this post where he has free access to women's homes. This complaint may be the one to cause his managers to realise "gosh, maybe the others weren't just over hormonal drama llamas after all".

All you need to say is "I had a delivery today with Tim, he was over familiar and touchy feely and made me feel uncomfortable in my own home". That is all.

It helps, user, to change your username so that it isn't user12345789 or whatever as that also makes it seem like you've just registered to troll.

Of course you should report it. Companies do care about their image if nothing else. I made a passing Comment in relation to a recent MOT feedback ( nothing remotely like this) and was contacted and an apology given.

But I do agree this is not about "delivery drivers" - it is one man.

Thanks everyone for your input, you're right and I'll complain tomorrow. I fully expect to be fobbed off and I'm not even sure yet where to ring, I don't suppose the Customer Service number on the website is used to this kind of thing. I did think though what could happen to another woman, he was so sleazy I wouldn't put anything past him if he thought he'd get away with it.

My advice is to email. Start a paper trail that you can refer to if necessary. When talking to somebody on the phone, messages can get 'lost'.

I've never done it, but I think when you go to type your message your username will be in the box above, just type over it.

thedancingbear · 10/02/2017 16:26

Datun's right. You should email. If you can find an email address for a legal or hr department, even better

Please complain. His behaviour is not,typical of delivery drivers. Nothing like this has ever happened to me, nor have I heard about it happening to another woman. The fact that this guy has got himself a job delivering large items so he gets inside people's houses is a massive red flag. He's setting himself to try it on with women on their own.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if, when you report it, the company isn't both very concerned and grateful. Think about the effect on their business if the bastard rapes someone. They need to know.

Not the same thing at all, but I had to report my financial advisor for trying to scam me. The pension company didn't try to tell me I was over reacting. They told me how grateful they were and couldn't have been more helpful. They also advised me about reporting it to the police. They knew that my prompt reporting might have saved loads of other clients from being scammed. I imagine your guy's bosses will be just as grateful. He needs stopping.
