Introverts of the world can relate

Did he shake the door and then crawl under it to see if anyone was home?

(ends being a 12 year old with none of those)

How does one "crawl under the door"?

Don't worry, I've been reliably informed that he always knocks twice.

Why would you have any reaction to a postman? Heck my mail today consisted of a letter that said I bought and ate recalled food, a recall for my car, 3 debt collection notices, and a letter from my issuance saying they're going to raise the price of my asthma medication at the end of the month. I'll probably get more bad news tomorrow. Still indifferent to the postman.

Dude that sucks, really sorry to hear that. Hope it gets better...

Definitely did not get better. Went to go do laundry after picking up my mail. On my way there got to be the first one on the scene of a pretty nasty accident ( well first one to not drive off). FYI TV, Movies, and even my first responder training do not prepare you having to pull back side curtain airbags in the dark when you can't hear anything inside the car. After dealing with all that, 1/4 mile down the road there was a power outage, no power for laundry and my return home lane was blocked by the police and medics. So, taking the very round about way I went to stop at Walmart to at least buy a clean shirt for work, turns out Walmart a couple towns was right on the edge of the power outage. Oh and now I'm out of clean shop rags because I gave them to the guy who's head was bleeding. Today barely nudges the needle on my bad day scale.

Do you by any chance drive a Volkswagen?

Wow. FYL

At least try to make your story somewhat believable

Holy shite!
That's a whole mini series of FML's right there.

Maybe he was afraid he was getting your mail. Unlucky much.

no news, is good news

sounds like someone needs to get help for anxiety

Good god OP.. what happened to you? You're about as on edge as a domestic abuse victim..

You need to lay down on the horror movies.

If he was approaching your house through the window he wasn't a mailman he was a Peeping Tom. You did the right thing, it said no one here to look at move along

i think she mean that she was watching through the window.

Pretty sure she meant she was looking through the window.

Yew are tew uv the slowest fml'ers eye've evur dun met

I don't think he was going through the window.... the OP was looking through the window when they saw him

The way it's worded though, it could go either way, good take #7.

hey man i dont judge since every time i go up the stairs i feel like there is a monster behind me.

little do you know, there is no monster behind you. There is, however a little demon on the second to last step waiting to trip you. He is called your cat.

I think it's safe to say that's a perfectly normal reaction...

Paranoia will destroy ya
