Mortified mum baffled when postman smirks as he hands over package – until she reads the label
LET'S be honest – we've all had embarrassing interactions with our postman at one point or another.
But while ours usually involves opening the door in our dressing gown having just jumped out the shower, mum Chloe Lythgoe has taken this to all new extremes.
Last week, the 21-year-old decided to treat herself to a new pink metallic – shall we say – "adult" toy on Amazon.
Chloe said: "It was recommended by a friend so I decided to go for it and try something new."
Before placing her order, Chloe was reassured to read in the product description that the item would be packaged discreetly to save any embarrassment.
And although the packaging itself didn't exactly scream "sex toy", the label on the outside revealed exactly what was inside – and Chloe's postman couldn't help but chuckle when he read it.
"When he pulled up at the drive it alerted me on my phone, he was just walking up the path and smiling to himself," Chloe explained. "I opened the door and he handed it over, smirking as if he knew what was in the box.
As he scanned the item, it dawned on Chloe that her postman knew she had ordered a "cl*t sucker" because it was written right there on the label.
She continued: "I felt mortified. I went bright red, just closed the door and thought 'typical me'. I just wanted the ground to open up and eat me, it was less than discreet.
"I opened the door in my dressing gown too with my kids stood behind me wondering who was at the door with my hair up in a 'mum bun' – I bet I looked the part.
"It was awful, I looked at him as if to say 'please, I hope you've not seen it' and he looked back to say 'I know what's in there'."
What's more, Chloe says she'll never be able to look her postman in the eye again – which is rather unfortunate seeing as he completes all her Amazon deliveries.
As soon as she closed the door on him, Chloe told her mates all about the incident on Facebook – which she believes has given the seller a fair few sales.
She said: "When I told my friends, surprisingly they asked me how it was, so the company has sold quite a few [off the back of] my [Facebook] story, I believe.
"On the page it said it was discreet and I thought that was fine.
"Luckily I don't live with my parents or siblings and my kids are young – three, two and five months – so it's not too bad. They're not of reading age!"
An Amazon spokesman said: "Amazon is investigating the issue."
