We viewed a house today. I was in the living room while DH went with the estate agent round the property. Owners were nowhere to be seen but we were told they were in the house.
Suddenly I hear a "hellllllo? Helllllllo? Is anybody there?" I paused, thinking that the owners would come down, but they didn't. Next thing I know a postwoman has opened the door and is in the house and says "oh there you are." I said "actually I'm just viewing this house, I don't live here."
She said well I have a parcel here which needs to be signed for and it was supposed to be delivered by 1pm and it's 12.55 now so it's obviously important and I have to get off. I tried as best I could to call for the owners. I searched for them in several rooms of the house, looked in the garden, but they were nowhere. DH and the agent were at the bottom of the garden (which was very long.)
I said ok I'll sign for it. I put my signature (or rather a crap wiggly line) on the electronic signing device, took the parcel and put it in the hallway.
After looking round myself with the agent, DH talked to him again, and I saw who was obviously the owner of the house, a woman, in the kitchen making a drink.
I went in and said sorry to bother you, but I just signed for a parcel for you, the postwoman said you'd asked for it to be delivered by 1pm so I thought it was urgent.
She said "What?" She'd obviously heard me but was shocked.
I said "the parcel's just in the hall. I signed for it when the postwoman came round."
Then she said, "Right," and looked at me as if she was waiting for me to come to my own conclusion about what a bad (?) intrusive (?) thing that was to do?
I just smiled and said nice to meet you, the house is lovely, I hope our viewing is not disturbing you too much.
She said "the postwoman let a stranger take my parcel?"
I said, "yes but she was wanting to get it to you on time, because you had requested a time slot for delivery and..." then she walked away.
So I was feeling a bit 
and 
Was I U? Or was she?
