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.
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.
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.
