To be pissed off with neighbors

[Loneranger14]

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.

Hope you are ok op

Part of me (that likes drama) is wondering if this is a big elaborate scam, that she HAS got her parcel, it was delivered to her and she signed for it, and she's kicking up some big scene to then try and get compensated/refunded.
Why is she not harassing the rest of the bloody street? 89 could be mistaken for several numbers in written handwriting, 99, 88, 69, 68, 39, 38, but shes focusing on you, why? And why was a neighbour telling her she saw a delivery van at your house, has she gone there looking for her parcel but taken their word for it that they don't have it?

[PovertyPain]

Like a previous poster suggested, it might be a different street. I live on ........ Road had a parcel left on my step that was meant for ........ Crescent, which was a ten min drive away! Good job I'm honest or a young child would have had a sad xmas, not to mention the parents, as it was a very expensive item.

Phone the police. They sound like fucking arses.

That's awful, how dare she!! You could poss call Royal Mail and speak to the driver, make sure he said what he told the crazy woman. I know you shouldn't have to but sometimes some people just don't have the initiative to consider different options why she didn't have the parcel. She will just keep on at you until she gets what she wants! She should be talking to Royal Mail not you! Do you have anyone around you that can answer the door for you- if I was there I would gladly tell her where to go for you! How rude is this crazy lady?!
I hope she gets her parcel and then she can shove it where the sun didn't shine and you should also go around and ask for an apology from her!

[TheFrendo]

I wonder if the delivery driver wrote the wrong number down.

Tell the aggressive feckits to try number 96.

[user1492023986]

Also, answer the door and tell her that you will call the police if she didn't stop harassing you! At least you have warned her, not that she deserves it!

[justkeepswimmingg]

Oh OP, how awful for you . Please do call the police, you are being harassed in your own home. How dare they do that! You should not need to call on their behalf either, it is their parcel and they need to chase it up. Maybe knocking on every door on the street if necessary, since it's so 'expensive'. Please please call the police, don't let them intimidate you in your own home!

[Newtothis2017]

Another vote for calling the police

[londonrach]

Call the police, dont answer the door

[RoseTico]

She's 89 so they must have delivered at 69 - what a bizarre conclusion to arrive at!

They're unhinged. I'd call 101 and report it now, they need to know they can't harass you like this.

[Herschellmum]

Call the police!

[Loneranger14]

Sorry people for late reply I've phoned the police and they have round. They went and spoke to her and told her to ring royal mail and if there still insident it was delivered to my address then to make a formal complaint to royal mail

[Chloe84]

Well done, OP. Bet the bastards weren't hard enough to scream at the coppers.

[AlmostAJillSandwich]

You can bet if it does turn up, either another neighbour has it and has been a bit busy and pops round to drop it off to them, or the delivery driver has delivered it to a similar sounding street by accident, that you won't get them popping round to aplogise!

[LakieLady]

Thank fuck for that. They sound like a right bunch of nutters.

Mind you, I flatly denied I had a neighbour's parcel once. Turned out DP had taken it and for some reason had dumped it in the spare room, which is an unholy mess of crap and clutter and where things go and disappear never to be seen again.

[Allabitmuchisntit]

Good on ya! That should be the last you hear about that. Well done. Hopefully you can relax a bit now x

[chowmeinchick]

They sound mental! Glad you rang the police and got this sorted. You shouldn't have to put up with that. Hope you're okay x

[Loneranger14]

Thank you every body I knew the sensible thing to do was ring the police, but I wasn't quite sure if it was a matter for the police or would they just say pull your big girls knickers up its only someone knocking on your door but I said I have bad depression and I'm a very nervous person as it is. Just shook me up a little hopeful she gets her parcel I very much doubt she will apologize

[Hortonlovesahoo]

Hopefully this will be the end of it OP! We've had similar as I work from home so regularly take in parcels for the street but if anyone tried speaking to me like that, I'd be aghast!

[Loneranger14]

I've just run my dp to tell him what's happened he's working over 200 miles away ATM but he understands my mental health issues and yes just said do I want him to come home bless h he's so good with me but I told him no need its sorted now

[CoraPirbright]

Well done OP. What horrid people!! Thank goodness they live a few doors away and not right next door !!

[aaaaargghhhhelpme]

Ah glad it's all sorted now op. (And your DH is a keeper! Bless him that's so good he's got your back)

Hope you hear no more from them and get some rest

[Funnyface1]

She has absolutely no proof you took it but seems to have decided it's definitely you, crazy. If you get anymore bother get straight back onto the police, don't hide. And you're right, no apology for you when it eventually turns up.

[MistyMinge]

What a cunt. She has no hard evidence you took it. If it's expensive she probably shouldn't have bought it on the Internet.

[DottyBlue2]

But where's the parcel?
