Way to make a first impress: New neighbor an ***

[SeerSGB]

Just met the new neighbor...and got accused of stealing her mail.

Apparently someone sent her a videotape and she's not got it yet, so she's been going through my mailbox looking for her mail. And her friend said the tape should be here, so I must have stolen the tape. She actually asked (demanded) to come in the house and search for the tape. I told her no. She says if she has too she'll get a warrant. I just tell her "Have a good holiday" and walked off. Last thing I need is a feud with crazy bitch neighbor.

Yeah, she's going to be a fun one to have around.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

OMG! Sorry to hear that! Your neighbor sounds like a bonafide LOON. A warrant? WOW!

 

[RoJoHen]

I would have looked at her like she was crazy.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

I hope she apologizes to you when the damn tape arrives. She's probably a crazy cat lady too. Geez.

 

[RoJoHen]

The tape is probably sitting on her friend's kitchen table, not even in the mail yet. If this lady is crazy, she probably has crazy friends, too.

 

[SeerSGB]

Well she says she's been checking our box, I could go for "out crazy".

Warrant? Yeah, right. Does Little Miss Dipshit have any idea how mail service gets delayed around this time of year? Better yet, does she even know what address the parcel was sent?

 

[RoJoHen]

Better yet, does she even know what address the parcel was sent?

Good question. Maybe it's sitting in the mail box of her former home?

 

[Yeoman Randi]

It was probably sent media mail. And to her OLD address!

That's what I was thinking. But she was blubbering on and on that by the time I could get a word in it wasn't worth the hassle.

I'm thinking: Not delivered, delivered to old address, or needed a excuse to poking around in our mailbox.

If she really has been going through your mailbox, that is a crime. Have a webcam set up to record your mailbox and use it to turn her in if necessary.

Oh man, forgot about Media Mail I sent a repair manual via Media Mail once and the buyer hounded the piss out of me with e-mails for almost 16 days. Anytime I ship anything Media I tell the buyer to be prepared for a LONG WAIT.

What is Media Mail?

The only way to respond to lunacy is with lunacy. For example:

Crazy neighbor: "I know you stole my video tape!"

A measured response: "Madam, I don't steal things, and quite frankly, if anyone stole your video tape, it's that damnable Abraham Lincoln who keeps stalking me from the bushes. I can tell it's him because his stove pipe hat sticks out of the hydrangeas and I'm very certain I have not installed an oven in my bushes, so once more, please keep your dog away from my Stormin' Norman lawn dart collection, as they were a gift to me from his sainted mother, Leona. Also, I'll thank you to not stare at my genitalia. I will not remove my pants, and you may not perform the heimlich on my person, so quit undressing me with your eyes. I bid you good day."

What is Media Mail?

From the USPS website:

Media Mail® service is a cost efficient way to mail books, sound recordings, recorded video tapes, printed music, and recorded computer-readable media (such as CDs, DVDs, and diskettes). Media Mail can not contain advertising except for incidental announcements of books. The maximum weight for Media Mail is 70 lbs.

Also known as Postal for "slower than a three day dead turtle and you'll get it some day...maybe...when we're ready....fuck off!"

 

[Spot's Meow]

I'm surprised, it must have gone downhill lately. I used Media Mail to ship my sold books a few years ago and things always arrived in a timely manner.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Media mail is the cheapest way to mail using the USPS. It can take weeks to get something that way. WEEKS!

 

[RoJoHen]

Why would you even do that when you can just use, ya know, regular mail?

Cost. It's cheap but you get what you pay for.

 

[Spot's Meow]

^It's super cheap.
