Think I hit a raw nerve with a delivery guy.

July 31, 2025 2:33am CST
So there was a knock at the door. Actually an aggressive sounding bang. So I opened the door and there is a man standing with a parcel in his hand. He hands me it. I said sorry, this is not for me!! It's for next door and she moved out So he snatches it out of my hands. Wow. I said can you not see it says 99 on the address He said no And I suggested it must have been his bulging eyes which hindered his vision , but I didn't say that exactly lol more just suggested he needed glasses and I was polite about it This seemed to really piss him off lol and he was now sorting of shakey and started to sweat, I asked him what was wrong and he muttered something about Typhoid I slammed the door shut Is Typhoid still a disease, I thought it had been eradicated. Yvonne said it's not Typhoid silly, it's Rabies Disease that makes the eyes bulge like that and he was probably aroused. She can be really caustic first thing in the morning can my Yvonne Yvonne, it's not the eyeballs that swell if he was aroused,

For sure the guy had a serious problem. An overactive thyroid causes bulging eyes. May be he said thyroid Jim.

@Ineeddentures In this case he was the one who did not understand his problem.

@LadyDuck He had a strange accent . I don't think he was Scottish. He was hard to understand.. His problem was he didn't see our big number on the door. Right Infront of him. If he had, he would not have woken me up, well I wasn't really sleeping but got me out of bed

All what you had to do was tell him it is not for you, return the parcel and close the door. This happens here often and we do exactly that

@Ineeddentures You must ignore such people. No point in spending your precious time over them. That conversation was a waste of time - my thinking

I hate people that are rude in any way. But here most of the rude ones are the ones who are buying. They seem to think that if they have money they can do any thing. When I meet people like those saying rude things to supermarket sellers, I defend them. They can´t do it themselves.

It was the way he thumped on the door Marga. That really pissed me off before I even opened it. And his attitude when he snatched the parcel from my hands If he has medical issues maybe he shouldn't be doing a job which involves the public He was rude and aim glad I was rude back lol. Yvonne said all things considered I was quite restrained. Sometimes people with money are rude when they are buying stuff. I have noticed that too

@Ineeddentures In those situations I find a very ladylike voice that can turn the rude people into dust. And although when I´m with family I use bad language, in those cases I am a complete lady.

All I can say is that if I am aroused, it's not my eyeballs that make a bulge.

@porwest It's difficult to see ones own eyes bulging isn't it?

He was probably just flustered by the whole situation. Hope things calmed down after that.

I still cannot fathom why he even knocked on our door. And why so loud. And then the bemused look on his face when I told him our door was not 99 and pointed to our door number clearly visible on the bloody door

Stop me, I can't help but laugh. Rude people may be raised that way. You may be right that you rubbed him the wrong way.

I hope he's not playing a prank on you or maybe he's wearing his glasses incorrectly

Obviously the guy had some problem and will now have to decide what to do with that package.
