I accidentally offended the postman!

MistyCheese

So the postman rang the doorbell and I went out to answer. On the way I said to my 2 year old 'Hold on you!' and I heard the postman outside make a noise in return. I think he thought I was talking to him!

He kinda shoved the post at me and rushed off. Maybe he was just in a hurry or maybe he thinks I'm a cow who was rude to him. I've already burned the house down to be on the safe side. Is there anything else I should do? Early Christmas card with two notes in it? One saying 'I was telling the child to hold on'.

Answer the door in the nip next time he calls.

Should have chased after him , and offered some of sexy scenario apology

This definitely sounds like one of those things you should expend a lot of time and energy worrying about , OP.

Answer the door naked tomorrow. he'll either be delighted or horrified.

Great answers so far lads. Cheers. To combine them it seems the best thing to do is run after him with no clothes and give him an explanation and a flaming bag of dog poo.

He was probably just in a hurry and won't think too much about it. The answers on this thread are hilarious:)

The real issue here is what the 2year old was up to?

Have him assassinated.

Make sure it looks like an accident, that he choked on a letter or something.

This sort of thing happens to me a lot, and I wind up Socially Awkward Penguin-ing my way through it by ostentatiously and pointlessly continuing to give out to my hapless child, while opening the door and talking to the postman.

It doesn't really work and it confuses the kids a lot, but I thought I'd offer it as a solution all the same.

Deliver his post for him, it's the least you can do after you ruined his year.

Burn him down.

Address your child by name going forward. There won't be any further misunderstandings, unless your child and the postman have the same name, in which case the postman might think you're being over familiar.

Could be a good or bad thing, depending on the postman...

Burning your own house down was a mistake. You should have found where he lived and burned that house down.
