Something bizarre just happened
Discussion
My neighbour (polish - but that is not relevant but sets the scene) just brought round to my house a "Sorry, you were out" note which was left at their house by the postman. He apparently left it there yesterday and the note reads:
"Sorry By misTAKE I gave you mail #22 Please giv it BACK Thanks" (I make no apologies for the postmans grasp of the English language).
Now I live at number 22 and understand this letter to mean that the postman accidentally posted my letters through my neighbours door, realised his mistake and then posted this note to try and rectify the problem.
So after reading this note I trot around to my neighbours house and explain that this note suggests that my letters have been delivered to them. Apparently there were no letters and suddenly my neighbour doesn't speak english (convenient). I'm left none the wiser but slightly concerned.
My worry is that these letters could have been anything - cheques, credit card statements, anything and I would not trust any of the 5 of my neighbours who have squeezed into the 2 bedroom house I live next to.
What the hell do I do now?

That's not really "bizarre" is it now?
Maybe if the your neighbour opened the door naked and he had a chicken hanging off the end of his todger, and the chicken spoke.
Yes, that would be bizarre.
You are not well! I think it is bizarre because if they wanted to steak my mail then why bring me the damn note to let me know that they stole it. It just doesn't make any sense to me.Maybe if the your neighbour opened the door naked and he had a chicken hanging off the end of his todger, and the chicken spoke.

He must be a new postman.
Once he has been there a few weeks he will learn not to bother telling people when he screws up.
I have had the wrong mail loads of times, and they never do that!

That said the postie that has our new house also 'did' our old flat on the same round. Hence 6 months after the redirection ceased he drops off any mail for us that has gone to the old flat (although it only tends to be circular s
te, everyone we want to have mail from has been told directly!)Gassing Station | The Pie & Piston Archive | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
