This happened earlier today, but I'm still pretty annoyed about it, and would be even without the whole social distancing implications.
I ordered from Littlewoods, delivery was by Yodel. I've always - for the last 8 years - had on my Littlewoods account that deliveries are not to be left if I'm not there. For the background behind that - I'm physically disabled, bipolar and have C-PTSD, and don't want to be bothering my neighbours I don't know to retrieve parcels. I had to move from my previous block of flats a year ago as I had to take my downstairs neighbour to court for threatening to kill myself, my cats and my partner on numerous occasions. The housing association took him to court, but he was still doing things like urinating on the stairs to my flat. My anxiety got so bad I was scared to leave my flat (partner doesn't live with me).
I'm now in another HA flat, a block of four, I live on the upper floor and I'm very happy here but have deliberately kept a distance from my neighbours. Of the 3 other flats, I've spoken to say hello to the two guys who live in the ground floor flats below me, but the guy who lives across from me ignores you if you encounter him in the communal hall...which suits me fine. He moved in about 3 months after I did.
Today I went out to pick up medication. The Yodel delivery was about 30 minutes after I got back....she knocked on the door, I said thank you without opening it, expecting her to leave the parcel and go, like they are supposed to still be doing. Instead she just kept standing there, and knocked on the door again. I opened the door, and she said 'oh my son tried to deliver this parcel earlier, you weren't in...and they guy who lives across from you refused point blank to take the parcel' She was very taken aback when I said 'Good, I prefer that, I don't want to be having to bother my neighbours for my parcels'
She then started arguing about how he could have 'done me a favour' ...and then said 'well at least he could have done ME a favour, I wouldn't have had to come back' I just shut the door at that.
Am I wrong to be so flipping pissed off with her? I talked to a friend about complaining, but as she seems to be the Yodel delivery person for my area, is she going to know that it was me that complained? I really don't want this happening again.
