To ignore the parcel deliveries?

[BJsHair]

Next door keeps getting parcels delivered when they’re not home to receive them. This means parcel man knocks on our door to leave them here. This means I have to stop eating my lunch, control the dogs (who are now going mental) answer the door in my prison trousers and then have parcels stuck all over my house.

We don’t even get on with these neighbours!!

AIBU to just stop answering the door unless I’m expecting something? It’s only going to get worse with Christmas coming up

Also feel disappointed in the lack of stripes on the prison trousers.

Or arrows.

In the States, grey joggers are the preferred item of clothing for women to ogle men's aubergines. They (apparently) show their "dick print" very well.

I'm just relaying things I hear in the internet.

Also, it's now grey sweats season.

We went to a Pizza Express back in the day where all the chefs in the open kitchen were wearing the uniform of black and white striped tops and bottoms. DS must have been about 3 and stage whispered call the police quick whilst pointing towards the kitchen it's full of burglars That's prison trousers

I answer the door in grey joggers sometimes didnt realise they looked like prison trousers
Although that might explain the guttering sales man practically sprinting down my drive when I answered ths door to him.

I'm going to refer to my wear-round-the- house joggers as prison trousers from now on.

Far more exotic

Saw an older woman loaded up with grey sweat pants & hoodies in a local charity shop. She was telling the volunteer how pleased she was with her finds, including stuff for the grandkids and all I could think of was her whole family going out looking like they were out on day release...

Yanbu. I don't mind taking it but 2 times did piss me off.

Once when early pregnancy i was napping and ignored the door, the hammered on it then came round the side to bang on the window. Delivery company were told to fuck off.

Second a company got annoyed and sarcastic when i refuse to receive another persons fitted wardrobe flatpack. The neighbour was grateful as they came at the wrong time to their chosen delivery slot and neighbour couldnt have moved the wardrobes.

I'd be putting a note on my door that I won't be accepting any parcels that aren't for this address. They'll soon find someone else to bother

Well I never knew I owned a pair of prison trousers!

Prison trousers

My goodness, DH has these grey joggers that I tell him not to wear outside the home- he only goes as far as putting out the bins in them!

Oooh have totally forgot the original question put by the OP

I do tell my ex he has prison trousers on when he wears these.

OP COME BACK.

We need to know about the prison trousers.

hits refresh repeatedly

@JorisBonson

OP replied yesterday evening

Pippa Middleton was wearing prison trousers the other day...

Our old neighbours once ordered a ton of stuff from Ikea and the wife came running over saying she had to go out so could we take it in. I liked them and they had a baby the same age as DD so I agreed, I bloody wouldn't have done if I knew we were getting a literal lorry load of stuff, so much it wouldn't all fit in the hall.

I now refuse to take packages from neighbours who have taken too long to come and pick them up as I don't want my house to look like a sorting office.

Stick your head out of a window and ask if they are for you. If they aren't, tell the delivery person that you aren't accepting parcels for this particular CF neighbour any longer.
At least then you don't have to juggle parcels and dogs.

Oh BORING, another 'drop in a weird comment to get everyone agog then disappear' aka 'snapped and farted' thread.

Don't care what you call your silly trousers OP.

And there are no parcels.

@NotSorry

I'll stop refreshing and actually read

What's BORING is when there's an OP with an obvious typo and then people make the whole thread about it, with a load of bunkum about classics and supposed jokes about it. It's unsurprising when the OP doesn't came back after that. It's not funny.

@dontalltalkatonce but the OP didn't make a spelling mistake and she did come back and explain.... It still wasn't funny but rtft!

I have 'rtft'. Yes, I realise she has, but before she did people completely derailed over a couple of stupid words and you still have people not reading the thread and focusing on it.

Just ignore the door, or put up a sign asking not to be disturbed.
Of course you have no obligation to take in parcels

Personally I think these are far more fetching as prison trousers

YANBU at all.

I won't take parcels in for one of my neighbours anymore. She will not come and collect and will often ignore the door if I try to take them over. Also seems to arrange most deliveries for when she is working away.

I don't take parcels in for my other neighbours as I hate them all.
