Today, the mailman delivered my new phone to my neighbour's house. This was okay, because he left a note in my mailbox informing me so. Now my crazy neighbour won't give me the package because, "*I* signed for it!" FML

First, call the police because the package has your name not your neighbor's. Second, call the mail company to complain about the mailman and follow up on the complaint.

Honestly, how old is your neighbor? Because he's acting like he's ten. 'Finders keepers' doesn't apply in thr real world. You should give him a high five. In the face. With your mailbox.

Simple solution to everything. Sue him.

If I you deliver my pizza 30 seconds late If I hurt my knuckles when I punch you in the face I'm gonna SUE YA!

Weird Al Yankovic- Proving the power of suing.

You can message on here? I need to go get my damned computer.

I'd tell you to take it to court, but seriously people, you can't just sue everyone all the damn time. I swear, every time I see an FML like this one, the top answer is always 'Sue him!" If we all went around suing everyone that did something wrong, this world would be pretty.. Messed up. Just sayin'.

However, most of the world does going around suing for ridiculous reasons so the world is already a messed up place

I lost all faith in the world, particularly America, when my friend from Chicago told me about a case she saw whilst working in a legal office. A woman was suing a hospital because she fell out of a chair. Stupid enough in the first place. But she was due to be discharged in perfect health, she fell out of the chair because instead of getting up to get something off the table she over reached from sitting. This was entirely of her own volition, yet she was suing the hospital - for what? having chairs!?

I know 88, it's absolutely crazy. I tripped outside a McDonalds (because I'm a klutz lol) & everyone told me I should sue. I couldn't possibly see suing a company because of my own stupidity

That's true. We've already screwed up this world beyond repair. I'm just trying to slap some sense into people. Most of these FMLs that have comments that say "Sue him!" are usually FMLs that could simply be reported to the police, who would take care of it from there. No need for suing every time you get the opportunity.

I actually have a legit lawsuit going right now, and still don't feel quite right about it. I don't know how some people do it. Especially when it's their own doing...

Oh damn. It's ridiculous that you're in this situation, but think about maybe doing some favours.

"Oh, yeah? *I* paid for it!" No really OP that's a pretty shitty neighbor you have there. I'm sure you'll end up with the phone on the end though.

call the phone company & ask when your phone will arrive. let karma sort the rest.

Keep harassing him. If he doesn't give it back, dye his grass pink.

If he signed for it, it means that he's obligated to give it to you, since the package has your name on it. That's an easy court case.
