Donathan Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 People who say “pound” as a plural. It’s “pounds”. Only time “pound” should be used is when referring to a solitary £1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 4 hours ago, deej said: I've been wfh this week but won't be next week. I have 3 parcels at my door for 2 immediate neighbours, since Wednesday. My assumption would be that they would have come next door on Wednesday evening to pick them up, but so far nothing. When do they become mine? I'd be careful with this situation, as I found out myself - your neighbours might actually believe the burden is now on you to deliver it to them. I took a parcel in one day and it sat for 4 days in my house, my neighbour caught me in the close thereafter and asked if I'd received a parcel for them. I said yes, it had been sitting there for 4 days and he snapped back "why have you been holding onto it?". It was then I realised that he actually thought it was on me to take it downstairs to his flat, despite him sitting in possession of a piece of paper telling him where his parcel was. I found that weird but it got me thinking maybe more people think that way, and maybe I'm in the wrong. But I'm not, these people are c***s. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It seems like everyone has an entitled gobshite of a neighbour that they won't accept parcels for. My favourites are the ones who explode when they open their parcel and discover the contents are wrong. Like you should've opened the box yourself, known what it was supposed to be, and handed it back to the driver if anything was different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 They don't always leave a calling card, or it can get lost in junk mail. My neighbours don't take the pish so if they haven't been round for a parcel in a day or so I'll pop it round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that weird but it got me thinking maybe more people think that way, and maybe I'm in the wrong. But I'm not, these people are c***s. A few years ago someone new moved in next door. My first interaction with him was after I'd had something delivered when I wasn't in. When he opened the door - I haven't seen or spoke to him at this point - he practically had the door open just enough to fit his arm through to hand it over. A few weeks later the opposite happens, I get something for him. It was about ten days before I managed to chap the door when he'd answer it. My neighbour is unquestionably a bit weird, but surely it's even weirder to know something's there and not do anything about it? 3 minutes ago, scottsdad said: Are we talking jackpot only, or any winnings?

Fortunately I typed "will" instead of "win" so the promise is null and void, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate, I'm not a convenience depot, down to the industrial estate over the other side of town to collect it after work you go. The new 'neighbours' moved in to a house close (not even next door) to my Mother's place a few years ago and insist their address is number 1. I have no idea why they decided this, but it was never number 1. My Grandparents lived at number 1 since the early sixties and Mother Broon since the eighties, so despite having been told (by me at their door) that they are using the wrong number, parcels keep appearing with their name but addressed to number 1. Mother Broon isn't living there for now, so I often find parcels left in bins or somewhere around the house addressed to number 1 but with their name on it. I took yet another parcel to their place earlier this week (there's rarely anyone there of course), but no, f**k them, never again.. Do I let the parcels rot, or should I have a cheeky wee look...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Getting woken up in bed at mid-day whilst on offshore nightshift to be informed you have an impromptu check-in for a chopper home (only to come back in a few days time) in an hour. Then being told at 15:30 (after packing bags up, checking in and sitting around with daylight streaming through that window) that you're actually staying because flights back out were already full next week, and that you should go back to sleep for just over an hour ahead of your 12hr shift. ...then finding out that they could have chosen the dayshift back-to-back instead, but decided to choose the nightshift personnel already three weeks into night owl mode.
