Nosey Mailman

So I've just recently begun getting packages from 'a friend'. I've gotten 3 so far, expecting the 4th within the hour. The first one was left by my mailbox in my apartment hallway (which is perfect) the second one (which was supposed to be over night but was delayed by 4 frickin days because of a weekend then a holiday) was handed to me by the mailman after he rung my bell. And here's where I get concerned. Because the previous one was delayed the next one came the next day. When my mailman handed it me he asked me if I'm going to be getting anymore. He said, "you just got one yesterday, right"? It's obviously none of his business but I guess he's not crazy about our early morning visits and made it his business. Without being rude or disrespectful (because I believe that you catch more flys with honey then vinegar) what are some things I can say to him to get him to back off?

Kill 'em with kindness. They don't talk to humans most of the day. Maybe make some small talk to get on his good side.

He's just making conversation man, don't be a dick to him and certainly don't go on the defensive.

Be sure to tip him during the holidays too!

Edit: Clearly none of you have ever been a postman or courier - I have been both. We don't give a shit what you're ordering, but if we start seeing your face more and more then it's natural to start conversation. We're all human.

Tell him you reship for money, tell him you order stuff from online a lot and you've been getting flash sales, tell him your family sends you care packages with stuff from back home. My favorite one is to tell him to fuck off and do his job.

my mailman does this shit too and bugs the fuck outta me. i can understand if theyre bored and wanna make some small talk from time to time, but seriously they comment on every fuckin pack i get, legal or otherwise. i just play it cool, and be like "yeah another drunk ebay purchase" and they laugh. even though its more like "yeah another drunk alphabay purchase". so yeah play it cool and joke around with em, even if it's fake.

tell him yeah there will probably be a few more coming, thanks for ringing my doorbell i appreciate it. he doesn't have to ring your bell, or stand there to make sure you got the package. he is doing you a favor. if you want him off your back tell him to just drop the packages at your door, and there is no need to ring me.

Do you live upstairs or anything. Maybe he was trying to be nice bringing it to your door and then got lazy but had set precedence so now he's annoyed he's bringing your packs and you're getting a bunch.

I always just told them it was a package full of meat.


[1 Points] HypothermicPenis:

Dude that would freak the SHIT out of me. If that happens once I would stop ordering for several months.

Its a trap!

i just got a tax return buddy, i like to order stuff online for cheaper prices. so you'll be seeing me often.

is my basic line im given nowdays since its the tax season. after that look into getting a p.o box. after that you wont be seeing a person.

The less you say the better. Even if he's really just tryna make small talk- fuck that fool. Hes with them for all you know

edit: I got love for my mailman only after my drugs have been safely delivered.


[1 Points] FuckTheJakes:

Reply with "Yes I plan on receiving mail" or "Mind fucking off"

Yeah, seriously, the same thing happens to me at McDonalds when i order a Big Mac every day.

They're always like, "Didn't I see you yesterday?"

Like fuck off and let me eat my Big Mac in privacy damn it. How dare they try and make small talk with me.
