The MAILMAN!

OK...so we all look forward to the mail delivery and hope a great prize will turn up, but I also DREAD the arrival of our mailman. The guy just creeps me out. I actually get up and close all of the blinds on the front side of the house 1/2 hour before the time he usually arrives because if he sees me inside and there's anything large enough to not go easily through the mail slot, he'll knock. Mind you, if my husband answers the door it's all business--here's your mail, I'm outta' here. But if I'm home alone and I get the door, he'll be on the porch giving me 10 minutes of insight into his personal life, how the job sucks, and especially any medical troubles he's facing.

The latest revelation is that his doctor diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, but he disagreed with that and GOT ANGRY about it!!! Am I the only one who's hearing the phrase "going postal" in her head?

My husband thinks it's funny--like the mailman just has a crush on me. I think he's really creepy, but I hope not dangerous. What can I do about it anyway? After all, the guy knows where I live. :laughing: I do feel kind of ridiculous hiding in the back room at delivery hour. All I can think when I hear a knock at the door is, "For the love of pizza, let it be UPS!"
 
:laughing: Thanks for the great story! You had me laughing! When he knocks and you have to go to the door, grab the phone and pretend to be talking to someone, grab the package and shut the door!
 
lol thats funny. Sorry. you could always complain to the postoffice. They take complaints really serious. My mailman is pretty cool. Sometimes I don't even hear him. I go to the mailbox at least 3 times a day. lol ok Im pyscho mail stalker. But really, hes so quiet, I never can hear when he is out there.
 
Ha...my mail slot goes right into the house, so I can't avoid hearing it. With my luck I'll be hiding behind the door and he'll peep in through the slot. :laughing:

yea my mail slot is hooked to the side of our house. Our mailman always comes at different times. Its wierd. But I think since he has to walk up to everyones houses, he is in such a hurry.
 
Uh oh...I hear the mail truck. This is not a drill. Duck and Cover! Duck and Cover! :crazytongue:
 
I don't suppose you would consider going to the door with a mud mask on your face? Maybe a big booger hanging out of your nose. You get the idea. Maybe mail yourself a fake presciption for some type of crazy antiphsycotic drug. Then you can discuss your "medical problems" with him. Might just get him on edge instead of the other way around
 
LOL...thanks for the suggestions, fearsgirl. I fear such manoevers would only encourage him. :laughing:

Anyhoo, no knocking today. No prizes either. Oh well--tomorrow's another day. Hope everyone's mail carriers are good to them this week!
 
Sorry to hear the mailmain really creeps you out. I have to agree with the person who said next time he's at the door grab your phone and start talking away lol. Then you can take the package, say "thank you" and get back to your phone conversation.
