Yesterday Oct 1, around 2:30 PM I got a delivery from my corner deli I am limit in mobility so I don't go out much.
This delivery man has come to my door quite a few times. He is a man of few words most of the delivery guys are from Mexico. This young man I don't know where he is from accept he has strange mannerism or body language seems stress a lot of contortions, uneasy in movement.
I really resent PC world we live in, years ago we could have said this is not accepable.
Well yesterday he came to my door with a Cell phone photo, he seem to be listening but never said a word.
Then you he would cup the phone in his hands and was looking in it and then put it back to his ear and listen some more he seem to repeat this again.
than he seem to press another button and listen again and than he closed it all the while no conversation!
I am concern and wonder if others have had some thing like this happen to them.
One’s mind can run wild being the fact I am on the net and can tick off people and not beware of it!
BTW I don't use cell a phone and really am not that familar with them!
He would have been probably sending a text message, or an image of himself. It is a rather anti-social habit, people stand there playing with their phones and ignoring the person in front of them.
What?
hang a sign on your door that says something like this
"I HAVE INS ON SPEED DIAL"
LOL!
If he puts it to his ear and listens then looks back at it and does it again he is trying to call somebody
but doesnt get through.When he looks at it he s typing in a number.
Or listening to voicemail.
You're lucky... his C4 belt failed to detonate.
Yeah, that's what I thought: listening to voicemails..if he was pressing buttons and then listening, that's probably what he was doing.
Also, since he's a delivery guy, some company's correspond with their delivery guys via phone, so it could have been company related.
Still "rude", but probably not unusual.
He was on the phone before he arrived!
handed me the bill and I was counting the money I don't think he was texting for he did not type into it!
For a deivery guy he had a very expensive phone. There was a time he came to my door with his shirt covering his face up to his nose.
he said had a broken jaw
You could be right he could have be redialing his number he just a strange young man!
You helped a little to put my mind to rest!
Um, checking his voicemail, maybe? I think you need to take a Valium.
He was getting his voicemail!
Sheesh.
Don't be so durned paranoid!
He was not setting down he was standing outside my door.
That picture above is an AD only shows how some are not aware they are not being photo.
Most of the delivery guys are from Mexico and very polite their mothers taught them well this other guy could be from Tin Buck Two have no clue!
I saw this once on the Twilight Zone
I said I am not familar with those things.
I am thankful other can educate me on this you don't to be so fresh!
Tell him to put the damn cell phone away when he delivers to your home. It's that easy.
I am thankful other can educate me on this you don't need to be so fresh!
Out of all these men only a women spoke up as how to nip this in the bud!
I really never was raised to be assertived so I don't think of responding in that way, thank you!:)
