Cheeky tourist used my address for their takeaway!!

[WellLarDeDar]

I live near a park, so we get a lot of tourists in the area.

Today, some girl visiting the park ordered herself an uber eats delivery to specifically my exact address so I had a driver knocking on my door. I thought he must be in the wrong place so asked to look at the address so I could direct him, as that sometimes happens, but it was my full address on there! It's quite an obscure address as well as it has a different postcode to the rest of the street and the house has a name instead of a number, which we don't display so you would need to look it up to get the whole thing. There was even a description in the delivery instructions.

She wasn't close by to receive the delivery either and the poor driver was really confused and awkward and was trying to call her and she didnt pick up her phone, and he was stuck waiting there for quite a while going are you sure it's not yours, you dont know anyone called name that could have sent it, it's been paid for so I have to deliver it, the person who ordered it needs to be at the address it's ordered to. I felt so bad for him.

AIBU to think that is blo*dy rude?! I might not have minded if she had asked first or had been around to receive it but to me I just think its really inconsiderate. When she finally turned up I asked her if she didnt think it was a bit inappropriate and rude and told her not to ever do it again and she just acted like I had been super offensive and sarcastically told me to have a nice day.

Some tourists can be so lovely and others are just so self absorbed.

It didn't take long for the old chestnut of 'pack a piece of fruit' to be trotted out. Yeah, because that's a really exciting and filling thing to eat

I mean...I do love a good selection of fruit at a picnic but then I like a greasy pizza too. How confusing.

If this happened in Ireland, she'd be offered a knife and fork and a bit of red sauce.

@Butwasitherdriveway 🤣🤣

@RewriteHistory you seem to have had a bit too much to drink dream, have reported so hopefully will be gone by the morning.

@Onjnmoeiejducwoapy how do you pronounce that again
I also reported that comment.
I think she might be hangry

@RewriteHistory it's unnecessary. No need for name calling and put downs

@RewriteHistory too much wine tonight?

...what the hell just happened?

I had an Uber eats deliver incorrectly to my address last year. Definitely the correct address on his order. I sent him away immediately as I figured the orderer had my address & I didn't want drama

Then again, last week I had a plumber try to fix my house because he had my address. He jumped my locked, 5 ft steel gate TWICE. & When I investigated the ruckus (gate rattled violently), thinking someone was trying to break in, I found him in my driveway, getting ready to repair my hot water system. Didn't knock, just jumped a locked gate! He said he was supposed to fix a leaking tap - NOT a hot water system but saw a leaky valve so thought, hey they must be it! He scampered pretty quickly when I confronted him & told him the street name. Wouldn't admit he'd made a mistake tho. Damaged my gate so I'm . Wish I'd gotten the business name to tell them to come fix it. Was in too much shock!!
