Communication from Delivery Person was Poor

I was having such a great day and then I received a delivery from takealot. I received communication this morning that my parcel will be delivered before 5pm today - great. Around 12h20, I see a car at my driveway gate and hear a hoot. I immediately get my shoes on and proceed to open my house front door and gate, of which I hear a second hoot (and it's been not more than 15 seconds now...). I walk closer to the gate to check who it is first before opening (taking usual precautions as we live in South Africa). I then open, of which the driver in the vehicle does not get off, shouts that he is sorry for the noise. I then said he couldn't wait for a few seconds for me to get out the house and then he immediately answers saying he's been waiting 3 minutes. Here's what really annoys me: 1. Have the courtesy to wait 1 min before hooting for the 2nd time, we all have hands and legs that need to move and open up doors and gates and collect remotes etc. 2. After knowing me for not more than 10 seconds, already lies about having been waiting for 3 minutes. My work desk looks directly at my driveway, I saw what happened, stop lying. 3. Don't dampen peoples' moods and spirits where we have to argue and justify about what's right and wrong. You have a job, do it properly and with integrity, whether or not somebody is watching. Only once I said my desk is right here, I know what I saw, did he start apologizing. Too late.
