To not accept neighbours packages...

So my neighbour who I've never met or even seen has started putting on her packages that they should be delivered to me incase she is not home.

AIBU to not accept them it? Does that make me a shit neighbour?

Of course if we had met and she had asked it would be a different story but what pisses me off is that I have a baby who keeps getting woken up when the door rings unexpectedly.

I took something in for her today and feel like leaving it outside her door. 🤔

CF!!!!! I never take parcels now as my neighbour never collects and we end up having to take to her. Shes a CF when it comes to bins out and in, expects my disabled partner to do it for her

She sounds a nightmare!! If it escalates, tell her if she does it again you’ll send all parcels to the charity shop that arrive at your place. Then log with the police if she harasses you.

We’re in a flat too in a very large building and lots of neighbors used to do this very same thing to me. They all thought because I was a SAHM that it was fine to treat me like a post box. I couldn’t disable the intercom so used to get horribly loud buzzes through when our baby was sleeping.

One day, this one driver buzzed me, I answered and said no I won’t accept. He buzzed me three more times so I got the baby, my keys and my bedraggled hair and body and went down and gave him a piece of my mind. He never did it again afterwards!!

As one previous poster said, if the neighbour starts to harass you in anyway, start getting it logged with police as a precaution. Sadly there are entltled people like this who will react in a vengeful manner when they don’t get their own way or they called out on their unreasonable behaviour.

Did you answer when she buzzed at 10pm. I'd get one of those security video doorbell that film who is at your door. Do you have a partner who could speak to her and tell her not to bother you.

I'd just get one of those video doorbell things, too. Is there a housing factor? Wouldn't speak to her at all again or take any of her packages.

This is not a police matter do not waste their time!

I hate to tell you this OP but this will just be the start of things to come from her.

LeftRightCentre · 09/09/2018 14:57

If it escalates, tell her if she does it again you’ll send all parcels to the charity shop that arrive at your place. Then log with the police if she harasses you.

You realise that could be considered theft? And this isn't a police matter unless she starts threatening the OP Hmm.

Just refuse to take the parcels. You don't even have to tell her you won't.

My mil took packages for woman across the road, when she went round to deliver it (woman never came to collect) she found a note on the side window telling them to deliver parcels to mil's, never asked her or said thank you etc.
Mil stopped accepting them and the woman had to go and collect.
The cf of some people.

Gobsmacked! She should have thought about how she'd get her parcels before getting a job and being out all day!
