Not actually said to me but as i walked past a lady just about to get in a car she said to the driver "do you want me in the front or the back". I let out that instinctive nasally snort and it went quiet...didn't dare look back.Was it funny or is it just my mind?

One guy said to me, 'you must have thighs like a gladiator' when i was exiting a block of flats. When the local comedy club meet to ask me if it's tomorrows mail when i'm running late, i usually reply 'yes i'm from the future. Can you not tell by my funny clothes and strange haircut' never goes down well

Not quite on the same subject as strange things people say, but a strange thing happened the other day. On my round there is a flower shop with a big German Shepherd type dog in there, each day it comes up to me and firmly nuzzles into my leg, it's very kind of 'guarding' and dominant without ever seeming like it will bite, just friendly dominant.

Other day I shuffled past it as I always do as it kind of stands in my way, it comes up behind me and suddenly pushes between my legs with its head, so I ended up sitting on this big dog like I'm riding a bloody horse. It was totally ridiculous, the woman in the shop was laughing her head off as I tried to clamber off the back of this daft dog.

A bit off this thread but though I'd share it.

"is that a lottery ticket win you got for there for me"

"dont think so
at least it wasn't this morning when i steamed them all open".

ive had various responses to that one.. typically laughs out loud
rarely I get an intense stare while somebody is taking me seriously for a moment

Heard this a handful of times in my five years, most recently a few weeks ago: "Oh, is this you on your second delivery, son?" I wish. What is it now, 8 years since SDD?

Also 'Cold today isn't it'

Or I saw you coming so I came out.
Stop masturbating on his doorstep then

I tried to phrase it so as not to let someone make that joke but it turned out worse.

You've just spent the best part of five minutes knocking on a door and filling out a 739, you get half way down the road and you can hear the customer calling you back, and sometimes even chasing you down the road. They eventually catch up with you.
Customer: Sorry i was in the shower.
Me:So why isn't your hair wet?
Customer:you got may parcel?
Me: Sorry i've just given to one of our drivers

Ha I used to get that on my last round, as I did it in reverse order, so when people covered it for me they did in the other way round so some people were moaning cos they thought I was always late, others loved me cos they got it earlier when I was on!
