Neighbour's Parcel

WIBU to keep it? (Joking obviously)

On Wednesday I had a delivery from a company. It was in two boxes, I was a bit confused because I didn't think I'd ordered enough for two boxes, but not confused enough to actually ask the driver! Anyway, when I thought about it after closing the door, I thought the box was way too big for what I ordered so I checked the label, and it was for a house about 10 houses down my street. I tried to catch the driver but he had long gone.

So, I wrote a note to the neighbour saying the bloody ginormous parcel was delivered to me by mistake, but I'll hold onto it until they get chance to pop round for it. However, when I went to their house to post the note, they had 3 other huge boxes from the same company on their doorstep. So I thought, the neighbours will probably just think I've lost patience and dumped it outside their house. (Until they open the boxes and find something missing).

Then, yesterday, I was walking up the street and noticed someone coming out of said house. I asked if he lived there, and if he'd got my note, and he looked a bit awkward and said 'oh....um....my partner forgot what number you lived at'

SO, I said, I'm in all day tomorrow (today) so come round then, he said yes okay great, what number again?

Has he been round to get it? Has he fuck. It's huge and taking up so much room and I am dying to know what's in it.

It's going to be a bit embarrassing to ask for the third time if they can come get it, isn't it? It's too bloody big to leave outside their door.

Just it in their garden or at their door? You're putting yourself put when they're being lazy!

put and out

It's too big, I can't lift it! (It's bigger than me)

Probably furniture from IKEA. Comes in several boxes sometimes.

Go and knock on the door and tell them to come and get it now please. Cheeky/lazy fuckers

It is IKEA, scarlet. I'll knock tomorrow, I'm in pjs now. I'm so impatient waiting for deliveries, I don't know how they aren't desperate to get it back.

They are being unreasonable. What rude and strange behaviour.

Lazy shits. Took the parcel round this evening (first time I had someone to give me a hand) and the woman said 'oh yeah, my partner said he'd pick it up on the weekend...did he not?'

I don't think I'll bother trying to make friends with this dopey couple!
