PostMan thinks I am a terrorist

bogwalrus · 14-04-2016 3:34am #1

This is no joke. It all started when I ordered some electronics off the internet (magnetic levitation kit). I have had a number of electronics projects over the years and accumulated quite a bit of electronics gear.

So to cut a long story short my kitchen table is completely visible from the front door. All one has to do is peep in and they can see everything on the table. While doing this levitation project i covered the table in all sorts of electronics stuff and just left it there for weeks. I know for a fact that he noticed because he asked me if I was an engineer out of the blue one day. I told him I was back in college doing software development. This leads me to part two of why my postman thinks I am a terrorist.

I had put the electronics project to the side because i needed to finish some college projects. I kept everything on the table because i thought i would be back to it in no time. I was wrong.

I was spending so much time on these projects that i barely shaved or showered for weeks and so grew a nice big beard. I had never had a beard so this was out of the norm for me.

That week i noticed the postman acting strange. He would not be himself and i definitely noticed him being a bit standoffish. And this brings me to the final reason why my postman thinks i am a terrorist.

The post arrives 1pm everyday. Early in the week i decided to shave my head. The most ideal socket was near the table in the front room (the one with all the electronics etc). I lay a towel down and knelt right near the window by the front door. Just before the postman arrived i was on my knees bowing up and down trying to pick through the different blade heads. I would reach for one bring it up to me and put down again. It really would look like i was praying.

He saw me do this and instead of knocking on the door to hand the post (we have no post box). He just opened the door and fired it in. This is really unlike the postman. I then started thinking and came to the conclusion based on all the events he must have seen that he must think i have joined isis or something. anyway thats my story.

Greet him with a bit of Arabic the next time you see him, that'll but him at ease.

Order two tonnes of fertilizer, for the attention of Mr P O'Neill.

That should have the ARU round pretty sharpish.

Post an old school style alarm clock to yourself!

ghostdancer · 14-04-2016 8:48am

maybe he's a bit standoff-ish because your gaff is a mess with **** everywhere and you stink?

A friend of mine was always joking that she didn't need a man because her Rabbit was far better. We got a cardboard tube about 3 feet long & filled it with sweets. We printed off the Ann Summers logo from their website including the "how to achieve the big O" tagline, stuck it on the tube & posted it to her.

She described how the Postman was desperately trying to keep a straight face & over the next days started winking at her.

Just leave an empty booze bottle on the table along with a few empty pork scratchings and smokey bacon crisp wrappers. That's should dispel any suspicions he might have.

He probably just thinks you're a smelly weirdo.

GavRedKing · 14-04-2016 9:53am

Simple, order a copy of the Qu'ran and see how he delivers it, maybe answer the door asking him how many virgins he expects to receive when he meets his false God.

That will settle any nerves he has surely.

Throw a package at him, slam the door and ran away screaming.

Robsweezie · 14-04-2016 10:23am

Sounds like something from a Mr bean like situational comedy.

esforum · 14-04-2016 10:33am

I think your postman just thiinnks your weird and doesnt want to talk to you OP

StupidLikeAFox · 14-04-2016 11:09am

Next time you talk to him mention something like "Youre not planning a holiday around the end of July are you?" - if he says no just say, "Oh good, Ive always liked you"
