Flower delivery driver?
You can tell those who make fun of you to f(u)ck off. You%26#039;re doing the adult thing by working - are they? If so, report them to their employer, because they should be too busy working to make fun of you.





The work can be demanding and tiring, but it%26#039;s legitimate work and you have nothing to be ashamed of. Just don%26#039;t get into such a hurry that you have an automobile accident.
Reply:While I have not personally done the job - I have a back injury which precludes me lifting, bending to pick-up or carrying anything weighing more than a few pounds + drop foot which prevents me from going up steps - I know people who do the work, some of whom are women.





It is not a gender specific job, but depending on the size of the arrangements they can be heavy, or just unwieldly to handle, so be sure you keep your muscle tone in good shape by doing some form of stretching like tai chi, callanetics, or some such thing, even if you don%26#039;t do other exercises.





Also, depending on the location you deliver the flowers to, there can be many stairs %26amp; no elevators, or it could be a rough neighborhood where it would be good for you to carry pepper spray or be trained in martial arts.





Other skills needed for such a job are a friendly, outgoing personality (this could help you get a tip from the customer); a head for figures (in case someone has trouble figuring how much to tip you); a knowlege of the town, or being good at reading a street map; having a good driving record..





The actual job, itself, doesn%26#039;t pay that much, %26amp; depending on if you use your own vehicle or a company truck for deliveries, there is the additional expense of vehicle insurance, gas %26amp; car maintenance which needs to be worked out with the florist shop.





If you enjoy flowers, driving %26amp; meeting new people %26amp; are in basically good health - go for it. Just remember you will be extremely busy on all holidays, especially Valentine%26#039;s Day, Mother%26#039;s Day, Christmas, Secretary%26#039;s Day, Thanksgiving %26amp; Easter.





As for people laughing at you - that%26#039;s their problem. Perhaps they are jealous because they don%26#039;t have a job. Or, it could be they are just uncouth people who like to make fun of anyone, no matter what they%26#039;re doing. Live your life, not theirs.
Reply:thats not just a womans job. sounds like you hang out with a bunch of immature morons...
Reply:I have never seen a woman flower delivery driver!!!!
Reply:I%26#039;ve only ever seen man ones.
