I’m quite happy to take anyone’s parcels except our immediate neighbours who are a pair over friendly doogooders with cats they let run wild and crap everywhere. I’ve already had to ‘deal with’ two of them
Only thing I’ll deliver to them is my grass cuttings secretly dumped on their front garden, should see the woman’s gob when she came out and saw it 🤣.
Everyone else says they think there dead popular in the street, but we all slag them off behind their backs 🤣

I'm hoping this spawns some great stories but I'll kick it off with a big one for me since I've been WFH the last few years: taking in parcels for neighbours.

Should you do it? Do you do it? Do you lie and say you can't take them as you're going on holiday that night (used that few times), are their certain neighbours' parcels you refuse to take?

Currently I am sat with 3 parcels from 3 separate houses in my porch. I am not leaving my house, they can come to me to collect, don't care if I have them for days.

I’m 100% with you on this!
New next door neighbours about four years ago! Being good neighbours or so we thought, we initially took a couple of parcels/packages in for them which sat by our front door for about three days before I relented and took them round! Next couple of parcels we asked that the postman or delivery driver put a note through their door telling them we had their parcel - same result, sat in our hall again for days!
Since then I just refuse to take anything for them, happily take them for other neighbours, but the shower next door can do one!
 
I’ve been looking at new areas to move to. Been driving round these places at around 8-10 in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays to check if none of them grass cutting weirdos are out. They are bad people. Imagine cutting your grass on a weekend before the 10am curfew.

I have no issue taking in parcels....as long as the neighbours are nice. I refused to have anything to do with a previous next door neighbour who poisoned at least two of our cats, called the police on two five year olds throwing snowballs in the street in case they damaged their car and emptied their grass cuttings on our front lawn. On thexday we moved in he knocked on the door, not to say hello but to point out the boundary lline between the two properties. They were crazy. Nobody in the road liked them. I just told the delivery people I didn't talk to them. By the reaction I don't think I was the first to say that.

Our old next door neighbour was like this - had to park his car right outside his house, moaned about the kids playing in the back, despite making loads of noise himself. Objected to the climbing plants growing over the fence into his etc, wouldn’t take anyones parcels etc, just a horrible bad scruff.

We live in a conservation area, so any window / door /roof tiles etc has to conform to the conservation rules.

He goes and puts a UPVC door on the front, knowing full well it had to be a wooden Victorian style front door.

A quick phone call to the planning dept at the council and he’s served with a enforcement notice, telling him to remove his brand new door and put the correct one back on or he’ll get a big fine.

He went nuts, trying to find out who it was and moved in the end.

Do people still do neighbourhood watch? Is that still a thing or been banished since the north face ninjas took over? Bet that Facebook has neighbourhood watch groups. Wife swapping and grassing on the alcoholics.

We've got a WhatsApp group that involves the same woman asking what colour bin it is every single week, a woman accusing another one of letting her dogs drop logs all over the road without picking them up and some fella trying to get us to all donate to his charity. Some woman shared a very rude meme on their once (she said b y accident) and people started kicking off. I thought it was superb. it's muted though.
 
I put dog poop in a paper bag, then put the bag on the neighbours door step and set the bag on fire and ring the doorbell then run away.. when they answer the door they'll see the fire and try and put it out by stamping on it getting dog poop on their shoes and then they go back inside and drag the poop over the rug and carpets..

Facebook basically took over it. Everyone's area has a load of groups for streets and cul-de-sacs and all that.
