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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, my new mailbox key finally arrived. Not at the front door as I requested, but in the mailbox. FML
Today, I learned that last week, the UPS man gave my package to my neighbor for safekeeping. It was over five-hundred dollars' worth of merchandise. My neighbor left for Canada on Saturday. FML
Today, I got a notice on my apartment door that I'd received a package when no one was home, and it was left at the backdoor. I don't have a backdoor. FML
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
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 from a delivery carrier that my package had been delivered. I opened the door to find a perfectly wrapped box with no address, no label, and a note inside saying, "You’ll know when it’s time." I still don’t know what it means. FML
Today, I received a text saying that a package had just been delivered to the house. By the time I reached the front door, it had been stolen. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Call the police, because *stolen* mail is a felony.

Try this before going ballistic... Write out a note, I received this package from my neighbor. And, sign it. I know it's stupid but it could even just be a misunderstanding where they don't want to be held responsible. Maybe?

Doesn't anyone look @ the good AT LEAST THE MAILMAN INFORMED YOU But I still feel sorry for you Do what you need to do

why would you do this "@" once and then two words later do this "at"?

Maybe they normally only use "@" and ended up having a hard time trying to emphasize it in the next portion of the sentence. :p who knows. :)

You can't capitalize "@" but you can "AT" Emphasis is key

Step 1) Make a list of items that your neighbour has that you like, such as his Opal station wagon, 120cm flat panel TV, and trophy wife. Step 2) Sign and date the list. Step 3) Go over to neighbour's house and present the list of things you have signed for, showing they are now yours. Step 4) Hand your neighbour the bill for the phone, adjusted for inflation to no less than $500 (or equivalent).

If i was in this situation, i'd remove one of her car's wheels. "You get your tire when i get my phone."

I love how there are many claims to understand the justice system in the netherlands. "Call the police" LOL. I don't claim to have enough knowledge of other justice systems besides the US's to give advice but seriously.... does everyone think that other countries justice system act just like the US? Because they don't. OP may or may not have recourse.... but thinking there is recourse based upon evidence in your own justice system is stupid.

perhaps, but thinking there is recourse because op lives in an industrialized western european nation and not some backwards eastern european or, most backwards country of them all, china just makes sense.

I guess it varies then depending on how you define "backwards."
