To think my neighbours are taking the piss? (Pic)

They're on holiday for the next two weeks

Could I possibly take a parcel in for them?

And then this fucker arrived Hmm

It weighs s bloody ton, I have nowhere to put it and it's stuck in my dining room! I can't get it up the stairs (was going to push it under my bed)

That's hardly a bloody "parcel" is it!

That would have to go if it pitched up here. If you wrap it up in bin bags it can stay in their/your shed?

Salmotrutta · 24/12/2016 00:02

I'd hoy it into their garden.

And deny all knowledge.

Not really... but I'd probably simmer resentfully for aaaages before combusting.

ColaSpangles · 24/12/2016 00:03

The cat is gorgeous! Love his white toes. As for the parcel - shed with bin liner. Any complaints - 'we couldn't fit it in, should have left us your keys.'

PidgeyfinderGeneral · 24/12/2016 00:07

A couple of years ago, we ordered a mattress and booked/paid for a specific delivery day so we'd be at home. The effing delivery company decided to bring it two days early without telling us, so the first we knew of it was when the neighbours called me at work to say that they currently had a king size mattress in their hallway for us.

Fortunately, we get on really well with them and they accepted the delivery so we bought them a bottle to say thank you and sorry, but it was annoying. We often take parcels in for them too though nothing quite that big!

SantaIsABastard · 24/12/2016 00:09

Is it a poo cube? (Not sure if nayone else remembers that thread...) Grin

user1481201991 · 24/12/2016 00:22

Can we have another pic of your cat?

hollinhurst84 · 24/12/2016 00:25

Poor OP is OUTRAGED at the parcel and posts photo for size and the rest of Mumsnet are all "aww look at the cute kitty"
OP is probably drowning herself in gin

myshinynewusername · 24/12/2016 00:28

Drag the fucker around to their front door, put their doormat on top of it and then put a note through the door saying that the parcel has been left in a safe place - under the doormat.

bluetongue · 24/12/2016 00:32

Neighbour is definately taking the piss! Reminds me of the time my neighbour asked if they could use the spare space in my bin. Then proceeded to stuff all their baby's dirty nappies in there Shock

Must admit I didn't even notice the cat at first. He is judging Grin

PavlovianLunge · 24/12/2016 00:32

HerodZackHunt · 24/12/2016 00:35

Santa it was the poufee that BOF' s dd shat upon iirc. The neighbour misheard shat as sat Xmas Grin

CakeNinja · 24/12/2016 00:41

Oh god, I did this to a neighbour last December Blush
Went away midweek to a wedding (only away 2 nights though). Parcel was due the latter part of the week.
Got back to a card through the door which had been posted literally an hour after we had left.
Knocked on their door, i was so embarrassed!!! It was about that size, blocking up the hallway. I took them round a bottle of wine as an apology!

badg3r · 24/12/2016 00:54

Open it, flatten the box and see if you can shove it under your bed! My bet is flat pack furniture.

SomeKindofNightmare · 24/12/2016 01:33

Could you put a glass of sherry and a mince pie on it with a note for Santa asking him to be a love and pop it down the neighbours' chimney with their presents?

Only do this if the cat is teetotal, they're buggers when they get on the sherry.

DeadMorose · 24/12/2016 02:11

Yanbu, they're taking a piss.

But cat probably wants to climb in the box, which you should allow. Even encourage.

MrEBear · 24/12/2016 03:07

Oh boy, that box reminds me of the box amazon delivered a toy ironing board in. Yes a kids toy ironing board.
Yes I've also been dubbed by a delivery man delivering a bed "Can you please take a parcel for your neighbours across the street" it turned out to be a bed and even better the house it was meant to go to wasn't across the street it was about 10 houses away with an unhappy man who'd waited in all day for his bed!

ThisThingCalledLife · 24/12/2016 03:19

is it a washing machine op? Xmas Grin

a previous neighbour of my mum's asked her for this favour - failed to mention it was a washing machine!

mum simply taped bin liners to it and made sure it was waterproof and left it in our back garden.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 24/12/2016 03:28

I think the cat thinks the box is for her. You will massively upset the cat when you take her present away. I know I wouldn't want to live with that level of feline resentment. Grin

user1477282676 · 24/12/2016 04:13

Lady is right....the cat has an air of ownership if you ask me. Don't take her gift away.

It's hers now.

Araminta99 · 24/12/2016 04:26

Gorgeous cat! Is she a ragdoll? More pics please (of the cat, not the parcel)!

LadyOfTheCanyon · 24/12/2016 04:54

Yep.

Oh my gosh! Love the kitty kat 💖💖

Neighbours are taking the piss. Any idea from delivery note whatnit could be? Is it a non-descript box or does it have ikea blazoned on the side?

Vanannabananna · 24/12/2016 06:10

Any chance another neighbour has a key to their house? They are really taking the piss!

Cute cat though 😄

Gingernaut · 24/12/2016 06:29

If the neighbours knew it was going to be that big, they are definitely taking the piss.

If they had no idea, then not really.

If I were you, I'd definitely expect at least a bottle of half decent wine out of them once they get back and pick their parcel up even though I'm teetotal
