Well over a week ago I noticed a box outside my neighbour's front door, it was a flower delivery. For context we have only a couple of feet of "frontage" and then the public footpath so you couldn't miss this box. I said to my partner that the neighbours must be away as the box was left there and he said they were definitely there as he had spoken to the dad the day before at his front door and the box was there then. So I assumed it must just be an empty box left there for whatever reason.
Fast forward to this week. I was meeting my friend and she commented on the box of flowers and asked if they were away. I said it had been there for over a week and in heavy rain etc and I assumed it was empty. She went and peeked in the side and there were flowers in there! Further we looked at the label and it seems that the flowers should have been delivered to the same door number but in a block of flats at the end of the road. A stones throw from their house. But they have just ignored it and left it to get manky. It's still there. Who does that?! Had I known before it turned into a soggy mess of dead flowers I'd have tracked the owner down myself. The box is still there today. I wonder what my neighbours think will happen to it. They must be rubbing their legs against it every time they leave their house. Are they just going to leave it there forever?! It honestly beggars belief.
