One of these days I'm going to reply "Yeah, I ordered a new butt plug, but it's too small so I'm sending it back for a refund"

And doesn't contain any "fluids". 😯

Particularly torturous when you've taken your surly teenager to post a parcel of, as far as I could establish, assorted shite to a friend.

"What's in the parcel?"

"Hannah, what's in there?"

"Just stuff"

"What stuff?"

"Different things"

"Can you be a little more specific?"

"What do you mean?"

The postmistress and I gave up at the same time.

No butt plugs though, just to be clear.

Did she specify no butt plugs? Maybe that's why she was being so cagey?

"Yeah, I ordered a new butt plug, but it's too small so I'm sending it back for a refund"

Now I think about it, couldn't you just use 2 if they are too small?

Was asked this the other day and the deaf old lady behind the counter thought I said "body parts" when (in my best Dorset yokel accent) I quite clearly said "bike parts".

What would she have done/said if I'd said "Yes, body parts"?

The correct answer to the question is "Yes".

And the follow up should be "Can I see the list of prohibited items? None of them."

Receptionist at work sent some work parts back to the supplier today at the local PO for me. They were some large brass pressure relief valves for a big air con chiller. She called me up and said ' I need to know whats in the parcel ?' I thought I have better not say the word 'pressure' after the shock senarios here, so just said ' tell her is a bit lump of metal' 🙄

Being patted down to get into a night club, the bouncer discovered a king size Mars Bar in my mate Dave's inside jacket pocket.

"What's that?" asked the big man.

With a big cheesy grin, Dave replies, "it's a knife."

I'd never seen someone hog-tied in a night club reception before.

Why are people still using the post office to post things. My Hermes is so much better.

Since RM sorted out their small package prices, i.e shoebox size for around £3-4, I have found myself going back to them for items under £50 value.

Dara O'Briain tells a fairly amusing story about a friend of is having problems taking a small box through customs. If I was any kind of raconteur I'd tell it, but I'll leave it for him, I'll only spoil it.

"Can I just ask what's inside the parcel?"

"Course you can!" then give a beaming smile.

If they then ask "what's inside the parcel?"
"oh no, I can't tell you that, sorry"

I posted 100ml of tap water to a brewing laboratory a couple of weeks ago. It was sloshing around in a 500ml bottle.

Woman behind counter asked "can I just ask what's in the parcel?"

"Just some water"

Blank stare.

In the films I have seen that is just for the ladies
