Neighbour knocking on door asking why I haven’t taken in her parcel?

[Queenoftheuniveseandallplanets]

To be annoyed and weirded out by this?

this woman upstairs I saw few times

I took in her parcel twice

she before Christmas goes I have parcel coming in, can you buzz them in building and take it.

i agree. And do this for her.

she goes “ill get you Christmas present! You are such a nice person!” brings me Christmas present days later. I felt awkward saying no so took it and thanked her.

i did think it was weird person I don’t know decided to give me gift especially for simply taking in her parcel.

anyway.

she knocks on my door 2 weeks later and goes

“did you like the chocolates I got you? How were the fruit I got you?
anyway I had parcel come in today, I see they were in the building, buzzed in, but you didn’t take it. Why? How come?”

I was confused because she didn’t tell me she has a parcel coming, so I wasn’t expecting it. She only asked me once, she didn’t ask me to take in her parcels forever now if she isn’t home. Also I wasn’t home and dd even if she was home, doesn’t buzz in people she is not expecting.

what Answer did she expect?

“sorry I wasn’t home wont happen again?”

obviously if someone didn’t take in your parcel, either they weren’t home. or busy or didn’t hear the delivery man. She knows I took in her parcel before.

why knock on door and ask? It made me uncomfortable like she was questioning me and wanted an apology?

i say I wasn’t home.

now I hear urgent loud very long knocking on my door. Nobody has even knocked on my door this loud. Almost banging.

SHE THEN STARTS OPENING AND CLOSING MY LETTER BOX TO MAKE LOUD SOUND WITH IT.

i leave bath, quickly throw in clothes thinking it’s some kind of emergency and hear her go on phone in corridor “THAT UNGRATEFUL WOMAN DIDNT TAKE IN MY PARCEL AGAIN!!! I want an explanation!! I can see she is home she is ignoring me! AFTER THE GIFT I GAVE HER!!! After what I did for her??”

she then continues loudly knocking some more

I wasn’t home today

so i guess she feels like I owe her now for the Christmas gift/chocolate and fruit she got me? She got it so I’m always “on call?”

THAT I SHOULD QUIT MY JOB AND NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE TO WAIT AROUND FOR HER PARCELS????

should I bring her money she spent on this gift so she can leave me alone and I no longer “owe her”?

I probably would chuck a tenner through her door with a note saying, here is money for the gift, I do not work from home every day and will no longer be accepting any parcels on your behalf. Do not bother me again, otherwise I will contact the police. Then leave it at that. She sounds absolutely unhinged!

Explain your position to your neighbours and ask her not to speak to you again, as you just don’t need the stress

yanbu, what a fucking psycho!! xx

I never take in parcels for neighbours after one day finding I had something like 6 different neighbours parcels sat in my hall. The Amazon man wouldn’t even bother knocking on their door, just come straight to mine. I’m not Royal Mail. If people want to order online they should find an alternative address. Tell her you won’t be able to take any further parcels in then ignore.

Never very take in a parcel for her again. Ever. Don’t buzz anyone in. Just don’t answer the door to her.

Just to add, I don't think you owe her anything or SHOULD have to pay but she doesn't sound like a normal person, so I would give her something for the sake of getting her off your back.

You have posted repeatedly about this. Very odd

Did you make a thread at the time about the gift? I vaguely remember it - if so, where did you think this was going to go after accepting it?

My husband refuses to take parcels in now. He works from home and it constantly interrupts his work, meetings and phone calls and he feels it was getting out of hand, particularly when couriers got to know he was taking them in and consistently a few neighbours didn’t bother to pick them up. It’s just a blanket no now.
in your situation, wouldn’t feel bad even if I was in. Neighbours taking in parcels yes is a nice thing to do but it’s not mandatory. If it doesn’t suit, it doesn’t suit. It certainly wouldn’t suit me if I was being bellowed at through the letterbox (that’s how I read it , sorry your post was hard to read/follow)
I agree with the £10 shoved through her door making it clear it’s to cover the Xmas present and you won’t be accepting any more parcels ever.

I was going to say the same thing it has been tried before
