To be pissed off with neighbors

Loneranger14 · 29/06/2017 16:40

I live at number 69 yesterday there was a knock on the door and it was the neighbor from a few doors up, I don't know her and I've never spoke to her (I only moved in my house in Jan) she stated she was from number 89 and had I taken a parcel for her I told her sorry that I hadn't.
I'm doing my house up ATM but I suffer with depression and agoraphobia and very rarely leave the house therefore I relay on internet shopping. I've had a few things delivered this week flat back coffee table new rug, TV stand etc. So that was that and I didn't think anything of it, so this morning she knocked again and said are you sure you didn't get a parcel yesterday for me I said no again and she said well maybe your partner took it I explained my dp was at work all day yesterday, she then said (in a snappy tone of voice) well maybe your children took it I said "I doubt a 9month old baby can answer the door" and that was it.
Well I've just been in the kitchen tidying up and I had music playing through my blue tooth speaker it wasn't loud as I do have respect for my next for neighbours, there was an all mightily loud knocking on the door I actually thought the door might come through she was banging it that loud. So I answered it and said can I help you she said I've come about my parcel I said I'm sorry but I've told u twice I haven't had no parcel delivered here for you and she said well that's a fing lie because the women over the road said she saw the delivery van here yesterday I explained that I have had parcels delivered for myself, she replied with what a coinserdient, so I fetched the invoice slip to show her she snatched it out of my hand and said well that doesn't mean anything just because you have had parcels for yourself doesn't mean you didn't get mine,
By this time I was getting pretty pissed off with her attitude so I said you can track your order and someone has to sign for it, she said I got an email saying it had been delivered and signed for at my own address but I didn't sign for it so I've rung royal mail and they said the driver dropped it off at one of these houses by mistake and as I'm number 89 and your 69 it must be you, now give me my fing parcel it was a very expensive item.
I said I really didn't get a parcel I don't know what else to say maybe ring royal mail again and see if they can ask the driver which number house he delivered to she said yes f*ing yours then she started screaming and shouting at me I didn't know what to do so I just explained again and shut the door.
As I said I suffer with depression really bad and don't like going out and I'm sat here a nervous wreck shes really shook me up.
My dp is away working ATM and her husband is now banging on the door like a mad man I've reverted to the bedroom as I really carn't face answering the door to her and now her husband is knocking tbh I'm a bit scared I really don't know what to do I honestly never received her parcel but she just wont have any of it.

Record their behaviour for the police.

The driver's probably nicked it Hmm

muckypup73 · 29/06/2017 17:13

Yup another that agrees go to the police.

JennyOnAPlate · 29/06/2017 17:14

I would call 999 actually if they are shouting threats. 999 is there to be used when a crime is in progress.

Coddiwomple · 29/06/2017 17:14

her husband is now banging on the door like a mad man I've reverted to the bedroom

I don't like disturbing the police for nothing, but in this case call 999

You have already justified yourself a lot more than you needed, this is unacceptable.

Loneranger14 · 29/06/2017 17:16

I think shes trying to say the driver has delivered it to the wrong address by mistake as royal mail is saying it was delivered to her address and signed for but she said it wasn't

Tell them to fuck off and say if they come back you'll cal the police.

Weirdos

VanillaSugar · 29/06/2017 17:18

How does she know it was 69 and not 84 or 109? Call 101. Video her.

SoupDragon · 29/06/2017 17:18

LaurieFairyCake · 29/06/2017 17:19

Someone trying to bang your door down means you call the police

Flowers please call the police

mumonashoestring · 29/06/2017 17:19

She can think whatever she likes about where her parcel is, it doesn't justify repeatedly shouting and swearing at you or intimidating you. If they're still banging and shouting, call 999. If they've stopped but you think they might come back, call the non emergency number or your community policing team and talk to them about it.

Allabitmuchisntit · 29/06/2017 17:22

She needs to piss off and get on the phone to Royal mail again. Stupid woman. She probably nicks parcels herself and so expects other people do it too.

Phone the police. No way should you be cowering in your own home!!

ASDismynormality · 29/06/2017 17:22

It doesn't matter what she thinks you don't have the parcel!

MrsChopper · 29/06/2017 17:24

Report to police before it escalates further!

SJaNH · 29/06/2017 17:24

Have you actually phoned the police yet?

Not sure what more advice you're really looking for.

travellinglighter · 29/06/2017 17:25

Call the police, say you're alone vulnerable and frightened and threatening strangers are banging on your door and harassing you. Mention the baby.

HaudYerWheeshtBawbag · 29/06/2017 17:25

Ok is this one of those threads where everyone rings the police and OP just posts the same annoying things over and over again..

Many have advised to call the police, 40+ mins later you still haven't called the police Hmm

SongforSal · 29/06/2017 17:25

OP.....Call the police. Before Christmas a teenage girl knocked my door twice, and then sent her Dad over as she had ordered her mother a watch for Christmas, and the delivery driver had said It was left at my address. It absolutely was not left here! Made us feel very uncomfortable as they were insinuating we had stole something! However, this lady sounds batshit, it's likely at another neighbours house and the driver wrote the wrong door number.

Maman79 · 29/06/2017 17:26

Put your phone by the door and record their voices, if you can sneak down...what nightmares. Definitely call 101 asap and get advice and log their behavior

Chloe84 · 29/06/2017 17:26

Yes, call the police, OP. They will be kind, it's what they are for Brew

SapphireStrange · 29/06/2017 17:27

Police, OP.

debbs77 · 29/06/2017 17:27

Please say you've called them!

Allabitmuchisntit · 29/06/2017 17:28

She better have a grovelling apology ready for you when she finds her bloody parcel!!
I hope you've called the police now!

chocolateworshipper · 29/06/2017 17:29

Definitely phone the police.

SleepFreeZone · 29/06/2017 17:30

My god if she did that to me I would have ripped her fucking head off her shoulders. How dare she!

MusicForTheJiltedGeneration · 29/06/2017 17:30

Why aren't you ringing the police?

Is she sure she put the right postcode in? My son ordered £200 worth of clothes online just after we'd moved house (in the same town so first part of postcode the same). He put our new house number (49) in but the autofill put in our old postcode when he typed the first 4 letters/numbers.

The delivery van used the house number and postcode so delivered to no. 49 in our old road. The bloke (who I knew from experience was an utter cunt) signed for it but then denied it when my son went round. I went round and banged on the door until he handed over the parcel over ("oh, how strange - here it is in my front room, I don't know how that happened!") He'd never have called the Police on me because he was a lying shit and the evidence was in his house Hmm

This, however, is different. You know that you didn't sign for that parcel so get the Police involved as they aren't going to give up if they genuinely think you nicked their delivery.
