to think my neighbour has a cheek

So the history is that neighbour and I used to be good friends. About 6 months ago she started blanking me and has not uttered a single word to me since. I cannot think of a single reason why this might be and always tried to be a good friend - there for her when she needed me, fed her and her children on more than one occassion, walked her dog regularly when she was too busy to etc etc. Her dh still speaks but she will send the children out to bring him into the house if she sees him Generally its all a bit odd.

So rather than try and figure out what was happening I decided to just let go and have happily moved on.

However have just had a knock at the door from a delivery guy with a parcel for her and he said she has left a note telling him to leave it with me. AIBU to think that she is a cheeky bitch to think this will be ok after being so rude and off with me for 6months, particularly after the postman informed me that she refused to take in a parcel for my ds over Christmas which meant that he didn't get his present from his grandparents until the collection office reopened after christmas. Surely she shoud have at least knocked and asked if this was ok?

Update please!

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 12/03/2010 16:04

I'd want to go round with the parcel and ask her why she's been blanking me for so long, and then expected me to take in her parcel - but then I'm irritable almost all the time this afternoon.

I'd take the parcel, but not hand it over to anyone but her, and only if she told me what on earth it was that I had done to offend her.

update when you have one please sshh!

please update, these sorts of threads never get resolved

shhhgobacktosleep · 12/03/2010 16:24

Sorry.. am here

My dh came home early from work whilst I was doing school run and took the parcel across . He just saw her come home and thought he was doing the right thing. However he said she just half opened the door and muttered "thanks" no "hello" or pleasantries etc. He says she's "bloody odd" LOL and next time just say no to taking parcels in for her and leave it at that.

Meant to say I would like to know what I'm supposed to have done to warrant this but am not going to persue it as then I will probably be drawn back into whatever madness this is and really can't be bothered with it all

Now this is just what i needed today.

My (annoyingly CLUMPY) upstairs neighbour is never in during the day and todays parcel must have been the 6th I've taken in this year!

When she knocked to collect it, a quick 'thanks' and off she clumps. No "I'm sorry to keep bothering you". No "It's really kind of you to keep taking my parcels in." No "Here's a bottle of wine" which I could really do with to be honest.

Admittedly, we had a huge row a couple of years back and STILL I take her parcels in. AND her supermarket deliveries when she isn't home for those either.

Next time the postie rings, i'm not in.

birdworthington · 12/03/2010 18:47

I would tell her to stick her parcel's up her ass thomsc. She is very rude to expect you to do this but then again what do you expect if you don't say no.

elmofan · 12/03/2010 19:09

shhh do you think it could be a case of jealousy causing her to act this way ? its just that i am in a very similar situation myself , my next door neighbour & myself were very friendly until i had an extension built onto our house last summer & then she stopped talking to me & even went as far as to bang into my new car(parked on the roadside outside our house) 4 times then screamed abuse at me when i asked her what her problem was , it was only when another neighbour who we were both friends with told me that she was jealous of the work we were having done on the house . we now have put our house up for sale as she picks on our children & i feel very uncomfortable living here now .
