Apologies for the very low-drama post. Because of my upbringing, I struggle to judge these things so apologies if this is obvious. I'm a bit of a people pleaser so I often struggle to know when to thank people or how to thank people - on one hand, I sometimes over-thank people because I'm a people pleaser. On the other hand, I sometimes under-thank people because I would have instinctively done the same as they have so don't realise how much of a favour it was.
Anyway, we moved into our new house about six months ago. There's a lovely couple across the street in their late 50s/early 60s who we've spoken to a few times outside our homes. Today, I had a delivery that I can't bring inside but DH will bring it in when he's home from work - it was building materials and a kerbside delivery. The weather said we weren't due to get rain so DH said it'd be fine on the driveway. It was delivered this morning and a couple of hours later DDog was barking during a Teams meeting and I saw my neighbour on my driveway, in the unexpected rain (bloody weather app lied) covering my delivery with a tarp and tying it down. I popped outside and thanked him at the time.
I obviously need to return his tarp and rope when DH brings the stuff in. Should I get him a beer or a card or something else? Is that overboard?
