This delivery man wants to start delivering more than packages oh. Everyday he comes, he makes it a point to compliment my alleged beauty (yes, I said alleged<\/em>). At first, I thought he was just being a gentleman, but this one don pass my power oh. He always says, “Oh, you’re so beautiful,” or “God, your eyes are so beautiful.” All this time, I’ve just been smiling like a fool and saying, “thank you,” exposing all my teeth.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, he came to deliver a package as usual. I was on the phone with my friend, Dee, so I told her that I’ll call her back. He said, “Yeah, get off the phone, baby cause you know I want your full attention.<\/span><\/em><\/strong>” Like a fool, I smiled. In fact, I laughed sef. Gosh, I can be so slow sometimes.<\/em> lol. I collected the package and signed for it. <\/p>\n

As usual, the man started talking about what lovely eyes I had and how beautiful I was. I was not fazed by this. I mean, this was pretty standard for us. Next thing, the man said, “I love a lady with beautiful eyes. When you’re making love to a lady with beautiful eyes and she looks at you, it just makes you wanna keep going…<\/span><\/em><\/strong>” And then he grunted before he continued with so much confidence, “You have such pretty eyes<\/span><\/em><\/strong>.” <\/p>\n

Tufia kwa!!! Mr. Delivery Man, I rebuke you!!! Making love to who? God forbid!!! See, warn this man oh. Who gave him the right to be picturing making love to me in his head? *Vera spitting, irritation almost choking her*<\/span><\/strong> I can charge this man with mental rape oh (abi isn’t that a legitimate charge?). To add, insult to injury, he touched my ringless finger and said, “And I see you ain’t got a ring on neither.<\/span><\/em><\/strong>” (darn Ebonics<\/em>). I just jejely snatched my hand away from his reach. What does the ringlessness of my finger have to do with him? Kai!! You see how ‘singleness’ is insulting me? lol. <\/p>\n

I think I was so shocked by the man’s statements that I could not even react. I was caught off guard. Not that it matters, but the man doesn’t work for USPS (United States Postal Service). He works for another postal service that I will not mention, and he’s African American. <\/p>\n

This guy’s actions are making me look @ the other delivery guy some kind of way. That one is White and works for a different delivery service too. Even though he doesn’t need to bring the mails in, he still does – something I assume he’s doing out of niceness<\/em>. Am I being na\u00efve? He brings the mails in, and then he asks me how my day is going, blah blah blah. I think I need to start having my pepper spray handy. LOL. I can’t have people making love to me in their mind all willy nilly….and even having the guts to stare into my eyes while doing it!!!<\/p>\n

Temite<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, where do I get that taser we talked about?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
