...to collect the parcel I signed for last week. Apparently he thought I was up because the kitchen light was on. Unfortunately this was because I stumbled into the house absolutely shattered from work at 11:45 the previous night and obviously forgot to turn the light off before going to bed.
So no more parcels will be signed for in the future. Didn't get back to sleep either.
Petty whine, but how can it ever be acceptable to ring someone's doorbell at 6am unless their house is on fire?
because he thought you were up?
Was he a bit stiff? Or were you? Or were you both?

Eh?
I might consider it acceptable if I could - for example - see someone in the kitchen. But just 'cos the light is on?
Alternatively.. Live next door to a family with 3 young children, a washing machine that sounds like it might have bricks in the drum, a noisy combi boiler and a dog... You could get woken at this time every morning
It's ok DD, I understood, and can arrange for a delivery of morning wood if you like.

to be fair to Flaperon he has been up since six & might be a bit slow today
depends how well i thought I knew my neighbours i suppose. one side I know they'd be up, the other side, probably normally no, but if the light was on, maybe
Everyone makes mistakes, why hold him up for it? Sure, if he does it again, but once, hardly grounds for a shooting now is it!
Has he ever taken in parcels for you - or might he do so at sometime in the future..?
it's almost daylight at 6am now. Giving you time for a bike ride before work!
Eh?
Sorry dude, just teasing...was in reference to this thread earlier...

My next door neighbour came round to mine, banging on the front door at 4am once.
Luckily, I was still up playing my drumset.

You aren't up at 6am?
I imagine from now on you'll remember to turn the kitchen light off.
..to collect the parcel I signed for last week
And you'd not taken it round to him before now??
I can top that, my neighbor signed for a parcel at about 10am, then ****ed off on holiday for a week at about 11:30
A WEEK, A BLOODY WEEK.
And yes, they were bike parts that I needed to get the damn thing back up and running.
Did yer challenge him to a jousting contest??

This..
I'd rather someone rang the fire brigade if my house was on fire than my doorbell.
Lucky he didn't leave the landing light on...
...it might have been a 747 that woke him up.
And you'd not taken it round to him before now??
Tried twice, they weren't in! Though perhaps I should have tried earlier in the morning... 😉
Perhaps being a bit melodramatic - they're exceptionally nice people - but all sorts of stuff goes through your head when you're woken in the early hours.
Karma for wasting our earth's precious resources 😐
That's harsh.
My neighbours are flippin awesome.
(If they were dead)
6AM is a lie in. What are you complaining about exactly?
And you'd not taken it round to him before now?
I have a 3 day rule.
On the 4th day stuff goes on eBay.
6AM is a lie in. What are you complaining about exactly?
Same here.... I'd have invited him in to share my pot of tea.
I'd have been made up to be woken at 6am... I don't normally manage to stay asleep past 5.30 !
The need for a piss at 5.30 woke me up this morning. Bastard
Aren't most working people up by 6am?

Your "toilet drilling" was loud enough to wake the entire town. Git.

Yes, I'll bet it does. Good thing you weren't worked until 6am. Shouldn't have left the light on, he was probably cursing you for holding onto the parcel he urgently needed for a week.
He's just posted on RoadBikeWorld.
Says he had to wait for days for his bike lights so he can commute in the dark.
Neighbours took the parcel but never in and haven't brought it round.
Someone suggested knocking at 6am

I sympathize with the OP, as I never get up before 07:00 if I can avoid it.
🙂
It is weird what other folk consider normal
One neighbour who takes parcels for me sends me a text to say they've got a parcel for me and what time(s) they'll be at home
Another one must live in the window and brings the parcel round as soon as I get in
Another one has the attention span of a goldfish and has to ask the kids where next door's parcel is
Nice people they just have different ways of doing things
Next door's wife woke me up at 6 this morning, hammering on the door......
......I had to get up in the end to let her out
I hammered on next door's wife's back door at 6 this morning.
Now THAT woke her up..
You should have thanked him. if you're still in bed after 6 half the day is wasted.
My neighbour is welcome to try and wake me up at 6:00, I'll be long gone by then.
getting up before the day has started (7am) is not a badge of honour.
no point unless you're a farmer, going for a ride or have wet the bed.
I'm setting off for work at 0600 or still at work if on nights. Was up at 0630 this morning for a GP Appointment at 0720.
This sort of thing is not difficult. You receive a parcel for your neighbour. You send a text to your neighbour and say when you are in. Your neighbour does the same for you.
No point in speculating when someone might be in or whether the secret 'light-on' code means anything. Just communicate.

I have no idea what my neighbour's mobile number is.

Knock knock
Are you in?
Yes
or
Knock knock
....
Knock knock
Not in
Speculation over.
I think the OP had already reached his 'knock knock' capacity.
Anyway - do most folk not have their neighbours mob numbers then? Seems odd.
