It may be easier said than done, but you may just need to develop a thick skin. You also don't need to take the perceived insults personally. In the examples that you posted, it actually looked like the people were making bad attempts at humor rather than trying to humiliate you. The best response is to either laugh along, ignore it (if you feel that it is insulting), or come up with some quick-witted, snappy comebacks.
Example: "Are those flowers for me?" Response: "No, I don't swing that way!"
Example: "Hey Pizza Man!" Response: (old school) "That's my name, don't wear it out!"
I've been a delivery boy of various sorts since getting out of college two years ago. I hate the job for many reasons, but the worst is how often I am mocked on the job. When I was delivering roses, for example, I remember a grotesque construction worker asking "Are the ROsEs FoR Me?!" and trying to humiliate me in front of his cronies.
Tonight I delivered some food to a pro athlete in an upscale apartment complex in Beverly Hills, and some members of his entourage were laughing in my face, yelling "PIZzZa MAan," like I am some clown or leper deserving to be mocked. My life is in the absolute gutter right now, and it's a shame that people not in my shoes feel like they can treat me like this.
Dood.
None of that was about YOU.
That was about a bunch of monkey dudes trying to get a laugh and thinking they are hilarious and god's gift.
We women have to deal with that nonsense all the time.

Yep.
Lol, I won't even eat bananas in public and I always squat rather than bend down to pick something up because of various occasions of guys who seized the opportunity to make inappropriate remarks.
OP, don't worry about assclowns like this. The last thing they deserve is free real estate on your mind.
Read his other "woe is me" thread that I linked to. This isn't the first time OP has poured his heart out because its a big mean world that treats him bad.
I don't recommend you get a job driving a honey wagon/truck. Delivering Don's Johns, draining septic tanks- port-a -pottyys would likely send you into a frenzied suicidal state within 3 hrs.
