    Boardsies. I know that by posting here I am sure to get a logical and well thought out answer, with all angles considered.

    Got two parcels from Littlewoods today.

    Interestingly:
    • I do not buy anything of Littlewoods
    • Its not my address
    • I have this stuff
    • I don't know what it is.
    Now, I live at say 1 This Street, and this stuff is addressed to 1 That Street which is about 10 mins walk away.

    The Dilemma:

    Door Number 1:
    Do i keep it, and open the stuff, not knowing I could get a top of the line Shirt that costs a Fortune, or similarly a bra and panties that would be of no use to me. (Couldn't fit me Shlong in it). Then deny all knowledge that anything ever came through my door. Its not my fault the courier is a muppet after all. All the while knowing some poor shmuck is going to get sthupped with the bill.

    Or,
    Door Number 2:
    Take the walk to the proper address and drop them through the letterbox, all the while getting a sense of satisfaction knowing that my little bit of do-goodery is done for the day, but missing out on the potential of something for free.

    What do I do? Its so confusing:confused::confused::confused:

    Door number 2. But put a gift of your own there in a paper bag between the parcel and their door to undo your do-goddiness if it'll bother you.

    Open it, take whatever is in there out for yourself, write down the link to this thread on a piece of paper and stick it in the now empty parcel.

    Proceed to post box.

    Take a dump in the box then door 2


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,812 ✭✭✭Precious flower


    Open the package, see what's inside and if you like it keep it, and if it's crap re-wrap it badly and send it to the person it was originally meant for - So They'll know someone opened it and that it wasn't TOTALLY AWESOME enough to be kept (therefore they'll be ashamed:p) and your curiosity will be satisfied.:p
    OR you could not open it and send it to the right address and know you did the right thing......... but thats boring! Be daring!:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Boardsies. I know that by posting here I am sure to get a logical and well thought out answer, with all angles considered.

    Indeed, where else?

    1) Size, weight and shape of said parcels please?

    2) You've shaken it I'm sure, what does it sound like?

    3) Why didn't you have to sign for it?

    4) Have you considered opening it and leaving it on their door step if its crap?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,721 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    Door Number 2
    Number one.
    If it's shít bring it around and say you order something from the same place and opened it thinking it was for you.

    Do the right thing & drop it round and hope that if you ever have a parcel delivered to the wrong address that they will do the same for you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,202 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    I'm Scared mummy, can I have a cuddle?
    Door #1.

    Door #2 involves do-goodery, which is very very bad (if you believe walshb).


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    I'm Scared mummy, can I have a cuddle?
    Door 2.
    (a) If only for the fact that the person that dropped it to your door might remember where he left it when asked by the original person waiting for it.
    (b) Karma can be a bitch!
    (c) Seriously, it might be a present for a child or something. Do the right thing, sleep well that night knowing your a better person for your humble deeds.

    Smaill. Plastic bag thingies, like there's a small shirt in them kinda thing

    plastic moving
    3) Why didn't you have to sign for it?
    Don't know. I assume its something to do with the fact that the courier was a complete muppet.
    4) Have you considered opening it and leaving it on their door step if its crap?
    No, but I will now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    does littlewoods only do clothes? meh, clothes are crap. just bring it back. its not like its an xbox or electric guitar or motorbike or something!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭xoxyx


    I'm Scared mummy, can I have a cuddle?
    I've been there. And it's the pure curiosity of it all that makes you want to open it.
    But, I resisted temptation (it was probably something crap anyway) and when I brought it to the girl it was meant to go to, she was so happy that I felt really good. Much better than opening it up to find haemorrhoid cream or the like.
    And, if the proper recipient isn't grateful, you've got a good story to tell, embellishing it with every telling - "lousy cow slammed the door in my face and then went back making love to her pet collie, etc."

    1. It came through your door therefore it's yours. My fúckin' neighbours have done it many times to me and I just rang and say I didn't get it. "But we have your signature" "Is my name legible in that signature" "no" "Then I didn't sign it, tell your courier to have some cop on next time"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    I'm Scared mummy, can I have a cuddle?
    I recently had an iPhone delivered to the house, guts of €500 to replace - neighbour took it for me and gave it to me when I was home the next day. Had they kept it I'd have been none the wiser and stuck in a godawful contract for a phone I didn't have.

    Don't be a total asshole, deliver the package to the person who owns it. Karma can pack a mighty punch, m'boy.

    I'm Scared mummy, can I have a cuddle?
    I did vote for door number 2.

    But now I'm thinking that you should open it and send them parts of the receipt in the post.

    Use words from newspapers to make one of those creepy letters you see serial killers making in the movies. The letter should tell them that you have their shirt/jumper/whatever and that if they ever want to see it again they should read the letters instructions very carefully.

    1. Do not call the police.
    2. Do not inform anyone that they have received the letter

    secret door number 3,
    open it, if its a shirt keep it,
    and if its ladies underwear, bring it around to them and say you didnt look at the address,
    and maybe you'll get a ride out of it. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    Door number 1.5.

    Open it, use it as a fap rag for a few days and then put it back in the box and leave on proper doorstep.

    Good spot. Open it willy nilly, as if it was yours. Then, once a peep has quantified potential swag, ascertain if it is desirable. If yea, sweet job my auld china. If not, and it is sexy lady smalls, easy pp it round to hers, looking all cute and embarrassed, and tell her you've been expecting a little woods package for 2 weeks and assumed this was your item.

    If they turn out to be huge granny pants, save yourself the walk, bin em or hand over to a homeless lady, as little-woods are cnuts anyway, and they will have to fork out for a replacement.

    They are not from the old guys shop down the road, who has always been nice to people in the area, are they?
    Those clowns caused me no end of grief and time wasted at least.

    Win - Win - Win - Situation.

    Get the phone number of the addressee and call. If the voice is feminine, say all husky like "I have your underwear..."
    Take it from there depending on how she reacts.
