FedEx man practically ran away from me

mobile: FedEx man practically ran away from me

The FedEx guy came this afternoon to deliver DH's birthday present. I went outside to meet him on the front porch so DH wouldnt see it. He spots my belly and looks alarmed and yells out "are you pregnant?!" (um yes, I am 36 weeks it is very obvious) I replied yes and he freaked out and said "I cant touch you, I have on testosterone cream and cant touch a pregnant person" I just said "Its fine, leave the box on the porch" as I stood there contemplating his overreaction and why he felt I needed to touch him in the first place lol. Thanks creepy FedEx guy.

  • How funny!! At least he was being considerate, even though its a strange way of showing it..

  • That's hilarious! Although, I think it was considerate of him to know that he wasn't able to touch you with the testosterone cream.  He was probably worried that if he were to hand the box to you maybe your hands would brush or something, idk.  But his reaction sounds pretty funny!

  • HAHA! That must have been interesting...but like pp said, at least he was trying to be safe! I can't help but wonder though why he had testosterone cream on his hands...

  • Oh my gosh. What an interesting experience! haha. Now I'm off to google testosterone cream...
    "The cleaning, the scrubbing will wait til tomorrow,
    For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
    So, quiet down cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
    I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep."
  • I definitely appreciated the concern but his reaction was so dramatic and over the top I felt like it was a prank.

     

  • Poor guy has probably had it beat into him that testosterone creams are teratogenic and pregnancy category x. Pretty awkward but it's kinda heartwarming that he was so concerned for your safety.

    Ooooh, maybe he has an irrational fear of pregnant women and he has a list of fake excuses for why he can't get close to them!

    Lol question 1. Why was he wearing testosterone cream?

    I think its an alternative to an oral hormone replacement.

     

  • That's....odd.  Glad you didn't get slathered in testosterone cream, though!

  • Haha! That made me laugh! But it is true, the cream could be passed through skin to skin contact so he could've just been worried if you reached to grab and bumped him, it could've been passed to you! That is nice of him to be considerate!! Or like PP said, maybe he is afraid of pregnant women and is full of lines to keep them away, ha..

    LOL! That's creepy, but extremely funny! I wonder if he does a lot of touching people during his route.

  • Testosterone cream is also used for a number of skin conditions and it is pretty potent stuff with a huge list of serious side effects. It was nice of him to worry.
  • Ha!  That's funny!  I guess it's good he was aware but yes, a little creepy.

    It was definitely nice. It was more the delivery of his warning than the warning itself :)

     

  • Haha. He probably got nervous and meant more that he shouldn't come near you. Awkward though!
