Notes to Wellington Couriers
- I prefer to work from 1pm – 4am so your knocking at the door at 9am is a waste of time, I just pretend I can’t hear anything. I suggest you deliver packages to offices in the morning and come to my residential address in the afternoon.
- I really do appreciate it that you will come back the next day in the afternoon to deliver my package.
- Because I work from home I enjoy working in my dressing gown and slippers. They are comfortable. Some days I’ll have a shower and then continue wearing my dressing gown. Most afternoons you deliver stuff to me I haven’t been up very long, thanks for not pulling a face when I answer the door in a fluffy pink dressing gown, with my greasy hair, and morning breath. Your acceptance serves to cement future viewings of me in a dressing gown. In summer it might even be silky.
- Despite what @nzlemming says I refuse to believe you have x ray eyes.
- Thanks for taking the time to come to my door even when the package doesn’t have to be signed for. The old letter boxes were falling apart so the body corporate replaced them with teeny tiny ones that can’t take anything thicker than 20mm and can’t be opened without a key. Yea, we have to lock and unlock the letterbox, with a key, Every. Single. Time. Also, they only gave us one key to share.
- Your electronic signature thingees are stupid. Especially when combined with an unclicked ball point pen and me trying to hide behind my door. IT always misses the first line of my K, and make me look like I zigzagged lines all over the screen.
- It makes me laugh when I open the door in my unwashed state, and you look at the package and read that it’s addressed to Cupcakes and Mace and then you look at me and ask if it’s the right address. Sure is. This is what Cupcakes and Mace is all about!
Does anyone else ever get the pleasure of greeting couriers, and on some occasions 3 young electrical company salesmen, in your dressing gown or an equally embarrassing state?

Just as I was about to post this a courier showed up at my door. I was in my robe, and socks.

Cupcakes and Mace has been down the last 12 or so hours. First the server ran out of space and then I found that my database had been deleted. If you commented yesterday afternoon it has been lost sorry.

So glad you’re back up. I was wondering what happened!!!
You seriously crack me up. I also enjoy answering my door in my jammies. Luckily, I’ve befriended our mail carrier – even baked her a batch of chocolate chip cookies when I started to see her more than I saw friends and family (went through a big ebay phase).
I’m sure they enjoy coming to your door ;)
Ah, the joys of being self employed, how I miss them!
When I worked from home in summer I’d go across to the beach for a swim, then spend the rest of the afternoon wearing wet underwear (could never be bothered getting changed into swimming clothes) and a towel. Visitors were usually a bit shocked by my appearance, but I really didn’t care!
Thankyou very much for the link to the WordPress backup plugin – painless and simple!
Being self-employed and preferring a similarly nocturnal schedule, I too get caught out in embarrassing states by people who come to my door. In a petticoat, mismatched pajamas, my boyfriend’s ugly tracksuit pants and ridiculously huge jumpers.
They should watch out during summer though.. my outfit of choice on very hot days is a singlet top and panties. Only. Have fun, mailman!
