Today, in an elaborate plan to finally meet my cute neighbor, I convinced my friendly mailman to switch up our mail so I'd have an excuse to meet her. After I delivered her mail, I waited for her to mention that she had my mail, but she never did. I even saw her take it out of her mail box. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I awoke to banging at my door. It was my neighbor, accusing me of stealing her mail to spy on her, because apparently she thinks I must be some sort of secret agent. The cops don't believe me when I call, and she won't go away. FML
Today, I got a reply to my Valentine's Day card that I sent to my girlfriend. I'll get the address right next time because her neighbor is really creeping me out now. FML
Today, while I was home sick from work, my neighbor got packages delivered. Our apartments have had a lot of thefts lately so, being neighborly, I brought her stuff inside to wait. When she came home, I gave them right to her. Instead of thanking me, she told the office that I was the thief all along. FML
Today, I got a notification that a package had been delivered. I opened my door and saw it on at doorstep. I was expecting one, so I grabbed and opened it, then realized it wasn’t mine, but my neighbor’s. I had to awkwardly re-tape it, then sneak over and leave the disturbing contents of the box on their porch before they noticed. FML
Today, I found a love letter in my mail. It was from a girl I met at a bar few weeks ago. I never gave her my address or last name. I guess I have a stalker now. FML
Today, my new mailbox key finally arrived. Not at the front door as I requested, but in the mailbox. FML
Today, I received an envelope with my name written in beautiful writing in my mailbox. I just moved in the day before and hadn't given the address to anyone or met my neighbors yet so I was a bit surprised by it, even more surprised to find nothing but a dick pic inside. FML
Today, a phone I bought online turned up while I was at work. The delivery guy left a note saying he'd left the package with my neighbor at #10. When I went and knocked on the door and asked for the package, my neighbor said "Nope, nothing delivered here." and quickly shut the door in my face. FML
Today, I went to check my mail but there was a guy standing at the mailbox. I said, "Hey, get the fuck away from there." It was the mailman. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She probably just hadn't looked at the mail yet. I really doubt she wants to steal your bills.

Just go and introduce yourself and talk to her. you don't need cheap tactics like this. If you really like her, you'll overcome the fear/shyness.

No I think it was a fun attempt to get to know his neighbor romantically! Most the time meeting a neighbor results in a friendship.

i think she screwed up by not knowing what happened.. i think shes kind of stupid.. and for thinking of something like that i think op is smart.. op looks arent everything you need to find someone thats as smart as you and shares the same interests because if shes that dumb chances are you may not have anything in common..

I don't think the fact that she didn't notice the name on the mail at the time necessarily makes her stupid. Maybe she realized it later for all we know. Also, where do looks come into play here?

Woah wait a minute. What makes you think she's 'dumb'? I must be missing something here.

17 - you have quite the imagination.

why not just go up and talk to your neighbor and avoid dumb plans like that

Another reason never to play the game... Now you have no mail.

She obsessed with you and wants to know ALL about you. She's a creepy stalker, but since she's cute, it's alright . . . adorable, actually.

She probably hasn't looked at the mail yet, but instead of coming up with clever plans to talk to her,just strike up a conversation someday then you don't have to deal with awkwardly going to get your mail from her :)

Actually I think that's a cute and clever way to meet someone :)

Me too. I think it's adorable -- think of the cute "how we met" story they could tell at their wedding!
