AIBU - having address posted to local Facebook group

[Doxxedandvexxed]

A parcel was delivered to the wrong address - it happens, totally get the frustration. But the recipient has posted a photo with my full name and address on our local (large town) Facebook group asking for help contacting me!
I’m mortified to have my full name and address put out in a public forum like this, AIBU to report?

YANBU I’d hate it too

Whats the problem exactly

Surely your friends and family know where you live anyway.

Yes just message her and ask her to delete it.

Why are you mortified? What's embarrassing about it?

Of course, but this is on a public Facebook group 😳

I can understand you being annoyed about it as nobody should be sharing your address but I don't understand your mortificatuion. Why is it so embarrassing to have your address made public?

Yes, but they don't know who you are anyway so I'm still not understanding what the problem is

Just contact the admin of the group and ask them to delete (and to check posts like that one).

I contacted an admin about random posts like 'i want to get in touch with such and such a person, does anyone have their contact details?' because not everyone wants to be found, and we have no idea who the person who posted, is. It's important that other people on the site who know the person being asked about, talk to them first, rather than giving out contract information to a stranger.

Contact the OP, thank them and ask them to take down their post for privacy reasons. 🤷‍♀️

This is literally half the posts on our local facebook page. 😂 Though if your correct address is on the parcel, I don’t get why she didn’t just drop it off to your house.

You're not being unreasonable. Contact the page mods and ask for the post to be deleted and private message the poster to arrange collection.

But I'd be livid. If your address is on the parcel they know how to contact you, its just laziness to post it on facebook. At the very least they could post your name without the address.

For those who can't see the issue there are a million and one reasons why the poster might not want their address on the internet. When I split with my ex and we sold our house I didn't want him knowing where I moved to, me and my solicitors were incredibly careful to make sure there was no paperwork that would let him know where I ended up.

But even when I started dating again and was on apps I might meet someone local, but I would want to vet them and get to know them before I let them know where I live.

Anyone can search someone's name and address from electoral records and peoples names and addresses used to be the phone book when everyone has one so its never been a secret so I wouldn't worry about it. But good practice is usually to blank out full names on Facebook.

They're a redacted electoral register and you can choose whether to have your address public knowledge. You always had a choice over whether you appeared in the phone book or not.

YANBU. Someone on our FB group posted a photo of a 7w scan pic with the person's full name and DOB showing 🤦🏻‍♀️ They then got huffy when people explained its not a good idea to out someone's pregnancy. Some people just don't think.

Report the post to admins and ask them to remove for you now the parcel has been sorted.

Are they fuckin stupid?

They accepted a parcel with someone else's name and address on it, and now they're too stupid to just take it back to the damn PO and ask them to redeliver?!
