My doorbell just went off and someone was hammering the door, by the time I was out of bed it went again but when I got downstairs he was getting in car and driving off. Definitely don't know them, did get the reg and make of car.
AIBU To be freaking out???

Oh, wow! Was it left on your doorstep?!

Can only assume they heard the riot on my door and opened their's!

(hopefully you replied by DM or under your original post;
'Sorry (wally), that you are upset you didn't get your food. I had no idea it was a takeaway. All I knew was that it was past midnight, I was asleep, and a loud noise woke me, leaving me to worry about who it was and worried something was wrong.

I normally order takeaways to my own number as I know what number I live at')

No I left it on read - in an attempt to distance myself from the absolute lunacy, I now only text one word answers to try not to engage too much... the one word in this instance would have been far too rude 🤣

Fair enough :-)

And even a fair, balanced public reply can be misread by someone who wants to misread it...

(and yes, obviously you typing 'wanker' might be inflammatory :-D :-D )

Yes, especially after I was told off like a child for using the shared access on Thursday 😐

Dominos at 3am 😷😷🤢

This place baffles me sometimes - only a few weeks ago there was that thread about someone not opening their door if they’re not expecting anyone and there was uproar about how people are silly to be scared of opening the door and what if it was an emergency etc - and now it’s “oh no, never open the door, you could be shot/stabbed etc”.

OP I’m glad it wasn’t anything more serious - I would have also gone downstairs to scoop up the cat and barricade myself in!

@HouseIsOnFire OP, hugs, I was so worried for you when I read this, I can't believe your neighbour was so rude. How are you feeling right now? Better I hope 🖐

But thank you, I'd got myself completely het up yesterday!
