I have a regular UPS guy. He's very professional, all business, doesn't want to talk about the weather, doesn't care to get to know me or allow me to get to know him. I'm chatty, I want to say hello, he just holds out the little signer thing. If I'm too smile-y, he says, "last name?", so that I'm reminded I'm not even important enough for him to remember my last name even though i've been telling it to him two or three or four times a week for a year.
Well, this week he came in with cell phone at his ear. It's a first and it's highly unprofessional. Then I hear, "You're not fat. You're not. You're five months..." He's cut off by the chattering at the other end, which I can hear. He raises his eyebrows at me.
I whisper, "You're more beautiful now than you've ever been." He puts his hand to his other ear as if asking me to repeat it, so I do, while signing my name on his little gadget.
UPS: "You're more beautiful now than you've ever been."
Wife: chattering
UPS: "No one told me to say it...."
Then he walks out the door before she could hear me bust out laughing.
The next day he told me she didn't buy it at all, she knew someone told him to say it. It made me smile.

Maybe he will be a little more friendly now!
very cute....maybe now he will realize behind that desk sits a living breathing woman with a fun personality and he will take time to get to know you better! I despise people with no sense of humor or personalities! They are so ...icky!
Ahhh a Noelle, You are a guardian angel to the unnamed, UPS, expectant dadman...
how cute! Now he'll remember your name for sure!
Poor UPS guy... he's definitely preoccupied with a 5-month pregnant wife that's feeling insecure. That can wind some guys up pretty tight.
