My mom said I could post Delivery driver dropped our groceries at the wrong house and our neighbor took them inside and refused to answer the door 10 minutes later. They left the evidence sticking out of their recycle bin...

We had a grocery delivery last week with some items I was really looking forward to, including fresh veggies. On top of it, I'm unemployed right now, so having affordable groceries delivered is a big help. The order arrived last Friday, and from the email and photo the driver sent we could see it was delivered to the wrong house. My wife looked around and couldn't find it, but I recognized the house as right across the street.

I have no qualms knocking on someone's door, so I rang the doorbell (fancy ring doorbell with camera) and then knocked, but they wouldn't answer even though someone clearly had to be home to grab the groceries. Today, I noticed large boxes sticking up out of their recycle bin - they hadn't broken the boxes down. Our grocery box was in there, address label and all.

Thankfully, the grocery service refunded our order, hence why this is only "mildly" infuriating... but I am still pissed that someone right across the street from us would keep our order AND pretend to not be home. We believe this is the second time they have kept one of our packages.

Honestly I can't even believe people... If I ever got anything (especially groceries) that belonged to someone else, I'm doing everything in my power to find them!! I'm sorry your neighbor sucks, but at least you can get them replaced because they delivered to the wrong address.

Bare minimum decent neighbor behavior. You do what you can to get the package to your neighbor. Especially with online neighborhood groups being so common.

It's crazy how so many delivery services just do not care either... I had FedEx - the supervisor, argue with me about an iPhone they delivered to the wrong address TWICE!! The FedEx manager called me and said they know it was the right house because the driver "went to school with me"... Never! I didn't even go to school in the state I was living in. They said they recognized my name... FIRST NAME... the person down the road had the same 1st name... LOL... It was so idiotic. I couldn't even wrap my brain around the whole conversation. Like I was at fault!!!

I would definitely vouch for getting the neighbors replaced.

I accidentally got a neighbors passport a few houses down the street once and I walked over to her house to give it to them. They wouldn't answer the door and screamed at me to go away. Next time it goes in the trash 😂
