Post Man Wrong House

So the postie has put a card through my door, saying there is a parcel at the post office. Issue is the post man must be a complete plonker because not only do I live at a different house number AND street name, but I live literally across the village.

What do I do? Do I have to do anything? I'd rather put the card in the bin and forget it happened I don't want to go out of my way.

This has probably been said already - put card in post box and write on it "delivered to wrong address". Job done.

I would think that in your particular circumstance it would be an idea to leave the Post Office information card on the kitchen table. You wait until your partner comes home and allow partner to make an executive and informed intelligent decision.Perhaps, with luck, she does not share your total inability to make adult calls and is also able to accept some responsibility in making everyday humdrum adult decisions in the household without resorting to total strangers advice through the good offices of Answerbank.

Well retro long story short she's the one who gave it to me and told me to sort it out.

Boy. You deserve each other. Stop making pathetic excuses,i.e post box too far away, and deal with it yourself. If you had a job you could do it on the way to work. You have enough time to post on here and hangout with the kids in the skateboard park so find a little time to do an act of kindness for someone else.

Retrocop, if you could read the thread you'll see I have dealt with it.
Don't act like you know me or my Miss. You don't.

"and hangout with the kids in the skateboard park"

You need to stop watching children play. A man of your age that is very odd.

Blimey! TheDevil sorted it out using his own time and expense. Leave him alone.
Anyone would think he’d decided to keep the parcel if had been delivered instead of the card.

I've done exactly that, td. While picking up one from my own dogs, if I see any nearby, I would remove them too. Why wouldn't you?

TD doesn't walk past dog's poo. He treads in it and then relates this world shattering and catastrophic event to AB. After all a new pair of trainers suffered and the the financial penalties he was going to hit his customers with was eye watering.

Well yes, it does splatter with a lawnmower:-)

You could have hopped on you bicycle; pedaled over to Thistleberry Lane; seeked out the quaint thatch-covered, ivy-draped, honey-suckle adorned dwelling of Miss Marple; and left the pesky card with her in order to solve the dilemma in her usual resourceful manner. However, since you say that you have dealt with the matter, my suggestion is entirely moot.
