Collecting a parcel delivered to the neighbour only for them to say "I never took for that" then threatening to punch you

I had a parcel delivered for someone else but it had my address on it so I refused it. The person who's parcel it was turned up a few days later and asked for it. I said I sent it back and they said "Why did you do that?"

"Because I have no idea who you are and I haven't ordered anything from ASOS"

"Well you should just in case I came round"

"But I don't know who you are"

"Well we have the same address"

"No we don't"

Said person had put the same house number as us on their address on the same road (because the previous occupant had painted a '1' on the shed) they'd just moved in. We are the only Number 1 in the road.

They asked us to drop any mail we got round for them, not send it back and seemed really pissed off we'd returned all their mail to sender for the last 3 weeks we'd been getting it. They wouldn't give us a number to call so they could come and get it.

When your dream home is now a regular sized 2/3 bed with a garden for the dog There’s a new guy in the office - it’s his second day and we’ve just found out we have identical commutes Shops charging customers to collect items from their premises Trying to transfer money on a bank phone line, and being asked to input the figure in pence. Finally trying Tony's Chocolate despite the £3 price tag to find it's utterly disappointing Those people who decide its perfectly acceptable to make themselves a coffee and then proceed to make somebody a cup of tea using the same spoon. I've seen folk jailed for less! I'm at the point in the family BBQ where my dad is complaining about the amount of black people appearing in adverts, send help Absolutely loathing the song "Sweet Caroline" Can't sit even in my own garden without smelling weed smoke! Realising that I never got to finish my glow in the dark dinosaur skeleton in the 90s after dutifully buying the magazine every week. Having to sit through a 1.5 hour presentation about the company making record sales and profits, then being told no pay rises this year due to "the financial situation" During a casual chat with a German superior I off handedly mentioned English village life "can be a bit like Royston Vasey" and now I'm afraid she will judge me based on my taste in 90s bizarist television Bus driver watched me sprint for the bus and closed the doors in my face, even though it only meant stopping at a red light a few yards later Having a degree, a masters, volunteered/worked consistently throughout my studies and still getting rejected by entery level (19k starting salary) jobs. This is the norm for graduates but its still gutting. BBC coverage of the Olympics is a disgrace.
