one of FedEx's courier drivers?
He hasn't done anything bad, but he is the ONLY driver that ever comes to the house, and today he was really creepy.
I have nothing against people who look unique, this guy has around 15 piercings in each ear and loads in his face, which is fine, but today he wouldn't go away and was asking if I liked them in a kinda sleazy way. I didn't know what to say so I replied they look sparkly in the sun lol. 
Anyway, I'm a bit freaked out, he is a complete weirdo (not the peircings, the way he comes across) and its getting to the stage where I don't want to answer the door.
Help! |

If he is making you feel that unsettled Rach then I think it is definitely worth a call to his boss. Not necessarily to complain, but just to let them know that one of their drivers has made you feel unnerved and uncomfortable.
Maybe you can request that he doesnt deliver to you any more - say you are on your own and that you are getting to the stage where you dont want to open the door.
I know it may seem an extreme response but at least that way you feel you have done something and hopefully it will rectify the situation. You never know, it may be that this man has had other customers with similar worries....
But you certainly should not be made to feel vulnerable in your own home.

SB i would agree with Kellog phone the company and explain the situation. There is no need for you to feel uncomfortable in your own home and not wanting to answer the door. Nobody would want to feel that way hopefully this will be sorted for you.  |

| I agree with the above. If you don't feel comfortable, call the company and let them know about it! |

| we had a similar problem out our way we live in the sticks and there was a couple of dodgy blokes who would come down and snoop about near where we keep our bullmastifs (very expensive show dogs) we phoned the company and we never saw them again and the next driver came down to the house was the picture of politeness, don't know if they were sacked or told not to come back to the property but when it comes to your home and how you feel inside it its not worth taking any risks :) |

| Completely agree with Judith here, its certainly worth a phone call if it is making you feel uneasy. |

Get a dirty great big neodymium electro-magnet and mount it above your door, attached to a dimmer switch.
Lotsa fun to be had then by increasing the power going to the magnet to make creepy pierced fella levitate. 
Does he look like one of those that have fallen asleep in a rivet factory?
Kehhlyr fails to provide anything helpful, again. 
Might sound like a weird question, but how often do you have deliveries? Is it the first time he's weirded you out like that?
If so, he might just've been having one of those 'being odd' days.
Unfortunately, most employers wont do much about it unless there have been multiple complaints, but by giving them a buzz at least they'll be aware. |

| If your that uncomfortable with him call the office as its not very proffesional. it might be that he's flirting in which case if he does deliver again a quick "i can't talk i'm on the phone to my Boyfriend" might make him back off. |

ROFLMFAO
He delivers to us a couple of times a week, he has been getting progressively more odd but today was really bad, wasn't happy about it.
Will call the company, thanks guys. x
Edit- just called the company, he doesn't work for them, though they have seen him before. Problem is, they are the only FedEx that delivers in this area.
Even more creeped out now. |

Ahh just keep a couple of magnets near the front door, you'll be fine.
Unless of course you have enough money for Kehhlyrs super electro magnet, might have to invest in one of them myself. |

Although he may not officially be employed by them, they still employ him as a self-employee and therefore they should still be responsible for his actions or at least stop using him. At the end of the day he is giving Fed-Ex a bad name.
We employ self-employed sub-contractors all the time and I know that if we had a complaint like that from one of our clients we would not be using that subbie again.
Wait until your next delivery, if he delivers again and makes you feel the same be very businesslike with him and then call Fed-Ex again. They need to be aware that someone they employ (even if he is self-employed) is not doing his job professionally.
I am sure if he is a real problem Kehhlyr and Danny could do with a holiday in Scotland around the time you are due a delivery....you could show him your 2 boyfriends and they could set him straight  !!! One look at Kehhlyr and he would refuse to deliver to you again !

Lol Kellog, I did think about hiring myself a large muscular man to scare him away, but I don't know any that are local, they are all weeds around here!!
Dad rang the company for me this morning- they only have 1 driver and he doesn't have a single piercing. They have seen the guy I am worried about delivering in Aberdeen, but they are adamant he doesn't work for them, even on a self-employed basis.
I think its awful that this guy is delivering FedEx parcels, driving a FedEx van and wearing a FedEx uniform- but he doesn't work for FedEx. |

Take his vehicle registration number - take a photo of the van and also a photo of him- then stick in a written formal complaint- with copies of the photographs that you have taken- you could also try recording the conversations that he is having with you on your mobile in your top pocket- failing that- answer the door with a hammer..?
