[quote=Anonymous][quote=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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
