Why are you "absolutely fuming" ? I bet those lovely Jehovas Witnesses love you

I can't believe someone is 'absolutely fuming' because the delivery guy didn't make conversation with them. And is still 'absolutely fuming' several hours later.

Almost to the point where they want to complain to the company.

Are you serious grai? I mean, really? I mean the term 'first world problems' has NEVER been so apt here!

I'm fuming that the OP was fuming hours later due to the delivery guy not replying. You got your package so why be fuming about it. The guy did his job, had 1 less package to take back to his depot.

I don't go to the lengths the OP went too to engage the employee in conversation, I will say hello, a thanks and a bye. I'm not interested in anymore and I hope the driver isn't as he has other parcels to drop off and no doubt he wants to get home.

I'm reminded of my younger days as a car park attendant. Sat in this little box all night long, greeting the evening guests after a good night out. I used to HATE it, each one who would walk up I would smile with the grittest of teeth, whilst thinking, "please dont say cheer up or its blummin cold innit?".

Towards the end of one of the most miserable and depressing nightshift, your sometimes not in the mood to say "have a good night" to everyone .

I'd tell you a joke about Yodel, but you probably wouldn't get it.

I was expecting this is involve something like damaging the parcel, delivering to completely the wrong address.

If someone really is "i'm still absolutely fuming" 3 hours later that sounds like an anger problem. I've also noticed with myself a fair few delivery people who's first language is not English. I'm a little amazed that the op for some reason hasn't spent a second to consider the deliver driver might not have been able to understand a word the op was saying.

I'm not sure what I'd say if a stranger said to me "These are shoes I ordered from eBay."

I've got to admit it's news to me that it's a British tradition to chat to the postman. I do hello's & thank you's etc to mine but I didn't know it was compulsory to have a chat.

It's custom if you are a nutter, open the door have a chat about any old rubbish, delay the postie from doing their job.

I think it would do my head in if I were a postman. "Oh this is the item I ordered from Ann Summers", me: "BYE!!!!!!".
