We ordered a parcel from Amazon and they have the instruction that parcels are not to be left with our neighbours because of inconveniencing them and we have a safe place where they can be left which Amazon have the security code for.
Now on Monday I was putting our bin out and saw our elderly neighbour struggling to put her bin out and so offered to do it for her. It was obvious from talking to her that she has dementia or other condition which makes her extremely confused. I had to go to work and so asked the man collecting the bins (as they were there at the time) if he would take her bin back up to the garden gate for her, he said that he would and they often did because of how confused she was.
This afternoon Amazon delivered a parcel to her house and I went to collect it an hour later when I got home. She answered the door and I explained but she told me that nobody had been near her house and there was no parcel and I could park my car on her garden if I wanted to but could I buy her some eggs - completely randomly as I didn't mention eggs, the car or her garden. I was at the supermarket later so bought her some eggs just in case as I have done shopping for her in the past when we've had heavy snow and took them round just now but she just said she hated eggs and why did I think she wanted them so I apologised for my mistake and brought the eggs home.
I'm not sure what, if anything, to do now. Her daughter visits her fairly often (she was there yesterday so will know about the condition) and the next door neighbours on the other side are good friends with her but I don't get on with them so won't be talking to them. I won't be mentioning the parcel to her again because of upsetting her.
