Annoyed at neighbor

[Anonymous]

WTF is wrong with you people? You're condemning OP and name-calling bc she asked her neighbor to help out and receive a delivery? God, I hope none of you are my neighbors.

In my neighborhood, we help out at every opportunity: dog sitting, getting kids off the bus, getting Christmas deliveries sent to their/our house. I just told my neighbor that I'd be happy to receive their MONTHLY egg delivery b/c I telework and they don't. You know why? Just because. I suggest that going through life trying to be helpful and less bitchy may help some of your attitudes.

You have no reason to know why OP asked her neighbor to help out. And you don't need to know. That's between them.
However, when you ask someone to help out you risk the chance that they may not do it as you would want it to. Sure, it's ok to be annoyed. However, OP, the correct response is not to say anything. Blame the delivery company if you must. But zip it with your neighbor, who was doing a favor.

No I wouldn't be annoyed with her. If someone told me "hey, take this order for your neighbor, but be aware that part of it is missing", I'd refuse it too. What if she accepted and you were pissed things were missing?

You owe her an apology for putting her in that predicament.

Part of the order was missing so the neighbor chose not to accept it.

Now Op is on here complaining about the neighbor not accepting the order.

If the neighbor had accepted this incomplete order on the Op's behalf, Op would be on here complaining that things were missing from the order and the stupid neighbor signed for the delivery anyway.

I am all for helping neighbors out but Op is being ridiculous. Receiving a monthly egg delivery is not the same thing as signing for many dollars worth of a grocery order (with items missing none the less).

NP here. If a neighbor actually asked me, I would have no problem accepting your order. I would ask for a cell phone in case there was any problems or questions and also to be able to send a text when the order arrived. However, OP didn't ask. She placed an order, it wasn't complete, she wasn't home and the delivery guy was trying to figure out what to do with the order that wasn't complete. He knocked on the neighbor's door and asked. The neighbor, not knowing about the order refused the incomplete order. Whether she was worried that the OP would have no recourse, or that OP wouldn't be happy, or wouldn't be able to get a refund by refusing, she did the best that she could with no information.

OP, rather than being grateful that the neighbor tried with no instruction to help, is being childish that she imposed on a neighbor who did her best and didn't do what OP wanted. She should thank the neighbor for trying and maybe let the neighbor know next time with a heads up and if the neighbor was willing to be as courteous as you claim to be, then leave a cell phone number just in case. But entitled people don't tend to think like that.

Crickets.....

hopefully it is a troll and not someone who really thinks that way.

Let's be real. I've trolled DCUM before. But this is so insane I couldn't even come up with it as a troll topic. This OP is so bizarre-o nuts screaming psychopath crazy that it can't possibly be fake.

Yes, I would be pissed - at YOU!

Why are you sending your grocery deliveries to your neighbor? This is already an imposition and you're compounding it by being a total pain. I would be looking forward to the day you move.

OP does not say she asked neighbor ahead of time. OP says she was out and the driver went to the neighbor's since OP wasn't home.

Several people have asked "why weren't you home for the scheduled delivery? Did you ask neighbor prior to the delivery?" and OP has not responded. If I missed the response, please post a link/time to it.

I agree with everyone. Why weren't you home? Did you ask the neighbor?

But ALSO - why would the delivery person go to the neighbor's house? I think that is a weird protocol also.

Fair enough. But she likewise didn't say she didn't ask. You all just jumped all over her for assuming she just sent the delivery there w/o asking. I read the post as implied that she asked the neighbor. Otherwise how would neighbor know it's incomplete?

In any case, you all are getting lost in the weeds here. Neighbors help out. Many of you on here said you wouldn't. I find that awful. And, while I think OP would be wise to keep any annoyance to herself, the tone, judgment, and opinions expressed in response to the OP really reflect the overall decrease in kindness and increase in assholery I've seen over the last several years. Thankfully, I surround myself with better people.

Neighbor would know it's incomplete if driver said, "We didn't bring the salmon."

I didn't jump all over OP. I did ask some questions. OP didn't respond. Makes you wonder why OP didn't respond, doesn't it?

I wouldn't be mad at the neighbor. The OP wasn't home. OP didn't say WHY. OP didn't say she checked with neighbor ahead of time. If OP had checked with neighbor ahead of time, OP surely would have said that in her post.

Years ago, we've had UPS drivers come to our house when our neighbor isn't home. I have accepted those packages.

But, you see, we think the neighbor did the right thing by refusing the incomplete order. I suspect neighbor would have accepted the order if it were complete, if she knew OP. OP came on DCUM attacking the neighbor for being cautious. OP came on here complaining"AND NOW, I have to reschedule delivery..."which OP obviously missed/ messed up being home the first time.

Are you the same OP who, awhile back, posted about your neighbor not taking in their trash cans as soon as the trash truck emptied them?
