Woman slams 'entitled' neighbour for keeping package - but people think she's wrong
A woman has taken to social media to ask for advice after her neighbours kept a package that was mistakenly delivered to their door - and people are divided.
A woman sparked heated debate on social media after revealing her neighbour had kept a parcel that was mistakenly delivered to their house. Flight instructor Carly Chamalik shared her predicament on Instagram Threads, stating: "An important package was mistakenly delivered to my neighbour last week and they have KEPT IT."
She continued: "I've been stressing for 5 days, talking to the Post Office, looking out my window every 30 minutes. I finally cracked and wrote them a note asking for it back."
She added humorously: "Wrote 5 drafts before feeling like I had the right mix of firm politeness and a clear request. [To be determined] what happens next but at least I'm not an over-thinker."
Many people reading were outraged on Carly's behalf and urged her to go to the house and demand the package back. One user replied: "A note? No way. Knock on their door and tell them to give it back immediately. This isn't a note situation."

Another individual was equally baffled, writing: "I don't understand why people do this! I once lost my phone at work and the person who found it turned it off and put it in their desk drawer. Never said a word to me. It was missing for a week. When I finally asked her to check security cameras if it was stolen she gave it back and said 'I figured you'd come get it when you wanted it'."
A different tale emerged as someone else divulged: "I went to the house and told the kid who answered the door to give me my ceramic tiger. she said 'oh I thought it was a gift'. I said what part of my name and address made you think it was for you? She went and got it and handed it to me."
Yet, not everyone was sympathetic about the issue. A sceptic replied: "Maybe they think you know where it is and are waiting for you to come to them? If I take in a package I'm not delivering it to you, come around and get your own stuff."
Another commenter argued: "It's not his responsibility to get it to you, especially when you don't live next to each other."
Meanwhile, a third contributor suggested: "They might not even know it's not theirs. Heavy Amazon users often times have packages piled up waiting to get opened when you actually need the item. This could easily be a misunderstanding."
