Misdelivered ham

[Anonymous]

I enjoy the savory, smoky hams. They are my favorite.

It has been a roller coaster of a day with this ham.

The neighbors left us a note in the mailbox, letting us know that they should be getting another ham delivered to our address, and asking us to let them know when it arrives so they can come get it. (This was our first contact with these neighbors, outside of the note we left on their ham last year.)

So, we left it on our porch, and the ham went home. I taped another note to the box, letting them know that I contacted the ham company and told them that they had misdelivered the ham, so it shouldn't happen again.

If it does happen again, I'm eating that ham immediately, in the front yard. You're all invited.

Np. Why are they having their ham delivered to you and not their new address? I dont get it.

Well that’s ham-noying

I hope they do the right thing and give you the bonus ham.

Wait. How many hams do you have now?

So now they have gotten or will get 2 hams, and you've received both but have nothing to show for them? Crazy. You sound like a very nice person to be taking this so graciously! As my gram used to say, you are earning many roses for your crown in Heaven! Merry Christmas!

They better bring you the second ham when it arrives!

[Anonymous]

Wow, they sound entitled and CRAZY!

Next year, eat the damn ham. Ignore the notes. And if they knock on your door, tell them sorry, you're not sure what happened to it. Maybe it got lost in delivery or was misdelivered!!!

Just roll it in the street and let a car run over it. Tell them the ham rolled down the steps into the street and or a pack of wild neighborhood dogs or a fox stole it and there was really nothing you could do.

I'd totally watch that movie.

This sounds like a Jerry Seinfeld episode

Ham Sender says to Ham Recipient, "Hey, how was the Annual Ham?"

HR says "What ham? I admit, I was disappointed that I was removed from this year's Ham List. I hemmed and hawed, but didn't want to ask you about it. Was it something I said?"

HS says, "Well, it says right here that the Annual Ham was delivered on Dec. 17! Do you live at 123 Hamlet Lane?"

HR is floored. "No, I'm at 132. Wait....do you think they KEPT the Annual Ham?! Who would do make such a ham-handed attempt at blatant theft? Next year, just send me something from Hammacher Schlemmer. I could use a new hammock."

Obviously, these hams are packed with drugs (and check that "glaze packet"!). And you don't get drugs delivered to your own house, silly. This drug-ham "leave it on the porch" is a top notch drug ring.

This means 1) it's really not their fault/they're not acting entitled to your unpaid labor; but also 2) they might not care if you eat the ham.

Flip a coin - heads you drop in on their porch with a "Love From Your Annual Ham Elves" note, tails you mash some potatoes and get to eatin'.

I don't think businesses send ham as a gift, though. Lots of folks don't eat ham. Seems a bit ... ham-fisted, no?

My condolences, OP. No good deed goes unpunished. I feel like these neighbors swiped your ham, even though that’s not exactly the case. You really have the holiday spirit if you’re not calling the company and canceling the second ham. I’d be tempted to.

I was 100% here to also say that the intended recipient was kosher so they gave the sender a fake address!
