This is the answer. You need to be texting with the daughter.

Wow.

Exactly… People can’t think for themselves or outside the box. “Alexa, How do I,…” “Siri, What do I do…”
Idiots


Wow this is very rude.

Maybe your New Year’s resolution should be kindness.
And empathy too.

-Not the OP

Has nothing to do with kindness or empathy. It’s honesty.

this is hilarious. They’ll never ask you for anything ever again.


😃 plus OP may get a great midwinter workout digging the hole in frozen ground … might catch on to local personal trainers …

I wouldn’t stress too much over it……

I wouldn’t invest any time or stress about the daughter coming to pick up the package.
They should just be grateful that they have a helpful ➕ considerate neighbor to hold their package for safe-keeping.

Send them your phone.number to give to her. Have her text so you can coordinate a pick up time. This is not rocket surgery.

All you have to say is “tell her to give me sufficient notice or I might not be home! Let me know if you’d rather I leave it back on your step!” This is not hard and some of these responses are insane

Well, no. It appears nobody asked her to take the package and bring it in her own house. Or did the neighbors ask you to be on the look out for packages?

I am keep and eye on their house.


No, I think PP's question was whether they asked you or is this your own initiative?

Oh, gotcha. Yes, they asked me to collect anything left on their porch, shovel in the event we get snow, etc.


LOL. Shovel snow? They don’t ask for much, do they?

The neighbors do not reply to emails that quickly. That’s why hiding the package and emailing them where won’t work either. Just leave the package outside your house. If you want, place in a brown or trash bag with the daughters name (or neighbors last name).
