One Saturday night out doorbell rang. It was a guy who had tried to deliver flowers to a neighbour across the street and down a couple of doors. He asked if he could leave them here for the lady, and he would leave a message for her where to pick them up.
I had no problem with that.
Next day the delivery guy shows up. He's not very happy - the lady had called him back and made him come back to pick up the flowers and deliver them himself on a Sunday morning.
Other than an occassional nod or a quick, "Hi", I've never really spoken with her, but it is less than a minute round trip walk. I thought that very strange.
