Have my only lay in ruined by someone banging and ringing on the door?

[BrollyDolly]

Baby free last night as went out for dinner with a friend. Trying to catch up on as much sleep as possible. There was a knock on the door at 8:30. Still asleep so I rolled over. Then comes ringing the door bell multiple times and banging on the door.
I shouted to go away and they did. But it's too late now I'm awake.

Note through door says flowers left with neighbours.
AIBU to be annoyed at this on a Sunday morning and telling them to go away?!

And I was born and bred in the Home Counties and can assure you that it is absolutely not regional thing to those areas.

I never said it was regional.

greatduck did, mentioning Kent, and then you mentioned London/Surrey.

It's lie in, wherever you're doing it. "Lay in" is making my teeth itch!

I would say you were BU. If you think 8.30 is too early did you not worry that someone needed you so that's why they were knocking on the door.

You got flowers yesterday, a night out last night, more flowers today and a lie in.
I'd just tell the person who tried to do something nice not to bother in future, you sound quite ungrateful.

What is a lie in? Single mum. Been up at 6 for six years.

You were rude...sometimes it's best just to think something instead of saying it. Bit precious over a lie in aren't you?!..and your neighbour had to get up.

Maybe I was rude to shout but I was so annoyed at being woken I didn't really care at that point in time.

As I said if I thought they were flowers I thought they'd be taken back to the shop not given to next door. Also, the neighbour bought them to me and she was genuinely lovely about it and said it wasn't a problem at all.

I normally get up around 8:30 with the baby so I've had no lie/lay in at all.

It's my first Mother's Day. I've only had flowers once before in my life so forgive me if I didn't expect deliveries to be attempted before 10am on a Sunday!

It's rude to bang on a door. Try the doorbell, if people like me want to sleep, we disconnect the doorbell to avoid being awaken at the weekend. If someone chose to ignore our wishes to be left alone, and forces me out of my lay-in, they can expect to be told to fuck off. I a allowed to sleep, they have no right to wake me up.

You're very lucky if you get up at 8.30 normally. I'd def say you were BU after reading that.

They could have left them in my porch or in the cupboard next to my porch like the postman does if I'm not in.

The deliver person probably read the MN thread quite a few weeks ago about the outrage over a deliver person leaving a parcel without knocking. Outrageous!!

8.30 is a bloody lie in. Yabu

I didn't mean without knocking completely but if someone doesn't after after 1 knock or ring surely you'd assume they were still in bed at that time in the morning!

8:30 May seem like a nice time to be waking up every day but that's because she doesn't go to sleep early in the evenings! She used to sleep 11 til 11 and have now managed to get it for this time so we start getting used to going to work and nursery. She will rarely go to sleep before 8pm no matter how tired.

By the time I've done my jobs and tidied the house and managed to unwind a bit I'm lucky if I get 8 hours. Unfortunately for me if my sleep is deprived it has a knock on effect for the anxiety and depression so apologies for needing to recharge!

YABU

How was the delivery person to know you were having a lie in/didn't or taking medication and didn't want to be disturbed?

@emmyrose2000 one would think that time on a Sunday morning isn't an acceptable time to knock! I'd never knock, ring or text anyone that early on a Sunday!

So you got up to check out the van but not to open the door??

Op, why did you post in AIBU when you obviously don't think you have been.
If you'd posted in chat you might have got the responses you wanted but as it is you asked a question and had the question answered, it just looks like it wasn't the answer you wanted.

Not unreasonable at all. I remember the sleep deprivation and the rage when some woke me for no reason. They stole your sleep!

I think you’re lucky. My doorbell went at 6.55am. I’m 5 days post broken ankle surgery.
I had to manipulate stairs (not easy) and get to the door as quick as possible. I was shouting at the delivery driver “I’m coming!”
It was hard work, but he waited, and I was very grateful.

I do understand that I have been unreasonable I'm not disputing that. Like I said it's my first Mother's Day. And I'm already inexperienced at receiving flowers so wasn't to know they'd actually try and deliver that early even on a Sunday. At least I know for the future but I probably won't get any again since I'm so ungrateful!

Maybe it needed to be signed for?? I had a tiny delivery that could have easily fit through my letter box but as it needed signing for and I wasn't in they left it with a neighbour.

Also I barely had to move out the bed to look out the window. There was just a car, no van. No writing on it or anything.

@MelonKim it’s the same as someone saying led in bed. No, no, no, it’s laid in bed
That’s by the by though and another topic entirely!

You have anxiety & depression, I’m not sure starting a thread in AIBU is ever going to be a wise move 😔. People like to put the boot in simply because they can. Add in it was flowers at 8:30 and it’ll be like you were kicking kittens.

It’s crap being woken up on the one chance you have for a sleep-in. Maybe whoever had your baby last night would be happy to do so more often. I’d happily have a baby overnight & especially if it helped someone with anxiety & depression or just exhaustion.

I’m not seeing my mum today, but I’ve sent flowers. The tracking page says my mum will be delivery no 51 - that’s just one delivery guy! I’m sure this is a busy day and if they don’t start fairly early they’ll never get round.
