The kind of neighbor you have can make or break your living environment.
If the folks next door are rude orunhelpful, it can make things much tougher for you.
It becomes even worse if they refuse to cooperate or go out of their way to make things difficult.
This is the situation a person found themselves in after their neighbors went through their mailbox without asking.
The only thing out of the ordinary that happened was when the poster received their neighbors parcel by mistake.
So they decided to give it to the folks as soon as possible.
Getting someone elsesparcel by mistakecan happen to anyone and its something that 19% of folks have faced.
Usually, the best thing to do if you get yourneighbors mailis to put it in their mailbox.
To get an experts opinion on dealing with situations like this,Bored Pandareached out toMyka Meier.
She is a 2x best-selling etiquette author, entrepreneur, and media personality.
Myka told us that the best way to politely deal with pushy neighbors is to be warm but firm.
Acknowledge them politely while setting clear limits.
Keeps things friendly yet firm.
If they persist, a written note or involving a third party can reinforce your request respectfully.
Tampering with mail is illegal, and addressing it directly is necessary.
A calm, I noticed you in my mailboxplease dont do that again, sets the boundary without escalating.
For legal purposes, emailing the person so its in traceable writing is another option, she added.
The OP went out of their way to hand-deliver the neighbors package.
Despite their kindness, the other people decided they wereentitledto kick off the posters mailbox whenever they needed.
The only reason they got caught is because of the ring camera that was recording everything.
Otherwise, they would have probably kept sneaking around and doing things like this.
The best way to do that is to get a lock for it.
Nobody wants to get into a standoff with their neighbors.
It can make things uncomfortable if both parties disagree and dont want to come to a compromise.
