Jacksgranda Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Our next door neighbours must have been vaccinated with gramophone needles - they never use one sentence when ten will do. Yesterday afternoon there was a chap on the door and fortunately for me my wife answered it. It was our next door neighbour with a parcel for us which had been delivered in error to their house. With any normal person the conversation would have gone as follows - Neighbour: "This parcel came to us by mistake." My wife: "Thanks." Oh no, 5 minutes of shite ensued, "this was delivered by mistake", "I knew it wasn't for us", "we were scared of it getting wet", "we're going out later, so brought it round now" it then sequed into a tale about our previous postie (although this parcel wasn't delivered by Royal Mail) who retired about 3 years ago, delivering a parcel in error. I kind of tuned out at this stage, it was getting close to me ringing my wife's phone to rescue her, which is our usual ploy when cornered by one of them. Nice enough people, but totally incapable of holding a sensible conversation, they just go on and on and on and round in circles, telling you the same thing three different ways. I knew a man in Coleraine who was similar, although there was a bit of an excuse for him, as he lived on his own. A mutual acquaintance once advised me "The only way to deal with Roy is say 'Hello, Roy', and keep going. Don't say 'It's a nice day' as that will result in a whole debate about the definition of 'nice'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you that one for free. For the second time the old neighbour a few doors along got a parcel for us, (wrongly addressed) for the second time grumpily handed it over saying "it's happened again" and for the second time I said "I don't control what address people choose to write" I think this will continue until one of us dies, fortunately he's considerably older than me. Weird thing is, he's a really pleasant guy any other time, wondering if it's some kind of banter thing he thinks we have going. 1 hour ago, Venti said: Just spent stupid money on some new ear buds.
