Yesterday afternoon the Yodel man knocked and asked me to take a parcel for 'across the road'. I happily agreed as there is a small group of us who always take parcels for each other.
So as not to drip, about ten years ago I took a parcel for another neighbour across the road. By the time I'd sorted the kids out that evening etc they hadn't called to collect so I took it over about 7pm. The man was bloody vile to me, asking what on earth had taken me this long and he was waiting for it. I was a bit too dumbstruck to say anything at the time but vowed never to take a thing for them again.
Of course, when Yodel man went to push the card through he didn't go to nice neighbour opposite but twat neighbour.
Twat neighbour was home about 5pm last night as the car was outside. He didn't come for the parcel. 24 hours later it's still here and it's reasonably large.
DH says if he doesn't pick it up tomorrow he's putting it in the garage until he does.
AIBU not to take it over after the abuse last time?
