Neighbours stealing my takeaway

62 replies

MumofSpud · 18/07/2021 22:43

Been waiting ages for a Chinese delivery and when it didn't arrive, I rang but they said it had been delivered.
When I said no it hadn't, they got the delivery person to confirm that it had - delivered to a woman- me.
I asked for a description and now realise it was my neighbour!
I went round to get it back and the lights are all off but... the windows are all open and I can smell MY sweet and sour chicken through the window!
AIBU to keep banging on the door? I am hungry!

Don't worry OP, at least it won't be you who gets indigestion from eating too late in the evening.

I’m waiting for the thread titled “I delivered a Chinese takeaway to the wrong address and now I don’t dare go back to the restaurant” ….

I generally missed this thread whilst waiting for my takeaway but it was not Chinese Smile

That would have been good - is there a record for the most TAATs? But I think some purists wouldn't approve!

I have a take in meal about once a month. When we see on the app that the rider is near my nephew goes outside to make sure it gets to the correct house. Maybe be a bit more proactive next time.

This reminds me of Kevin Bridges talking about waiting for a delivery from the Lucky Panda - now that is hilarious Grin

I'm seriously concerned about possible discrimination of chicken balls.

Were they born that way? Is it their fault?

beigebrownblue · 19/07/2021 01:06

What is their actual identity? Can they self identify?

Dddccc · 19/07/2021 01:20

By any chance did you order x2 sweet and sour chicken balls chips and prawn crackers, if so your neighbour has posted she ate it

A delivery person tried to give my oh a kebab the other day. He kept telling the man it wasn't for this address. The delivery person was going on that it was ok, it had been paid for so it's lucky that oh is an honest chap!
The delivery was for 7. Zion Place, which he would likely have passed to get to ours round the corner.
On the other hand, we've changed take-aways due to their delivery drivers ALWAYS getting lost and going to Northdown Road, Zion Place or lord knows where, even with clear instructions and actually being shown the way on numerous occasions - so their loss!!
Sometimes, I think they just knock at random doors instead of looking for the right addresses.
My daughter tells me if we go thru 'Just Eat' and pay by card but don't receive or it's not good, then we will be refunded.
But we might just stick to paying by cash at the door for now, and telling them to go to the right addresses!!!

NeverRTFT · 19/07/2021 03:18

Is @TrixieThunder your neighbour by any chance?? There's a corresponding thread on the go from someone who took delivery of a mis-addressed Chinese and couldn't track down its proper owner...
Please come back to confirm OP, I need closure Grin

@bonfireheart who pissed on your chips?

bonfireheart · 19/07/2021 06:52

No one pissed on my chips, thank you very much.
