Stephen, however, states that it is not just their wives anymore, believing that the UPS man is now going after the men too, as he just received a product that he does not remember ordering.
The old mechanic tells them the only way to solve the problem is to kill the delivery man and resolve to return to purchase products in brick and mortar stores, stating that his generation did the same with milkmen.

"Insecurity" was developed from an idea created during meetings for the show's 2014 video game, South Park: The Stick of Truth.
Parker and Stone and the team at South Park Studios had spent the summer prior to their fall run working on the video game, and one idea that came up was a character having to get into people's homes, and past their security systems.
[3] Parker and Stone spoke to a close friend who is a policeman, who confirmed that they received false alarms "all the time.
[3] Scenes scripted at this time included Cartman's dialogue back-and-forth with the security company employees, regarding his password.
[3] At one point, they considered splitting the episode into a two-parter, between Cartman's battle with the security companies and the plot line regarding the postman.
"[3] The episode references Bane, a character within the Batman universe, specifically, his depiction by actor Tom Hardy in the 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises.
"[6] Max Nicholson of IGN called the episode an "admirable entry" for the season, though noting "While the plot here was clearly framed around recycling these two jokes over and over, they were both strong enough to carry out the 22 minutes in full."
