How is it MY fault?!?!?!?

My dad works with this guy who's in the process of leaving his wife. He's filed for divorce and alllll that. So, this guy is dating this girl from Vancouver and she wanted to send him something, but because he still lives with his wife (makes no sense to me if you ask!) the guy asked my dad if she could ship it to our house, and then for my dad to give it to him. So his wife wouldn't know where/who the girl is.

Well low and behold the package comes today, keep in mind I had no idea this was going on. Nobody else is at home, and the name on the package is someone's name I've never seen OR heard before. All I knew about was he was leaving his wife and had a girlfriend. That was IT!

I gave the package back to the UPS guy! What else am I suppose to do with it???? If the package was expected to come, why wouldn't anyone TELL ME!!! HELLO?!?!!?!?

So now both of my parents are mad at ME for not keeping it! I'm sorry, but I don't keep ANYONE'S mail that isn't for my family!!!! How am I suppose to know what the guy's name is???? I told my mom what the name was and she was like "OMG, that's the guy your father works with!! Why didn't you keep it???"

So now they have to go through a process to see where the package is exactly. Tracking numbers and alllll that. Ugh!!! WHY didn't anyone just TELL ME it was coming?????

he should have told you! even if he didn't want anyone to know the whole story, he could have just made something up, like something as simple as the guy wasn't going to be at home for delivery, etc. I would have done the same thing as you - if it's not mine, and I didn't know it was supposed to be delivered here, i'm not keeping it!
I used to work in customer service and you wouldn't believe the amount of people who receive packages by mistake (wrong address on package, or delivery driver's mistake) and take weeks to even attempt to return them!

Man thats a bunch of bu**. Its not your fault that your parents didnt tell you about their dirty secret. Maybe one of them should have been home to get the package. Sorry thats really stupid to get upset with you about it when they didnt even tell you what was going on.

I'm sorry that you got caught up in the middle of all that craziness.
If that lady was sending it to your house she should have addressed it to you father.
You were just doing what you thought was right.

Maybe the guy could actually complete his divorce before messing around with another woman.

Sorry you are caught in the middle of it. Not like you are psychic. UGH

ps. if you are psychic can you tell me when I will have a healthy baby LOL

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

This is soooooooooo stupid!!!! You're right Katie, she should have just put my dad's name on the darn package!!!

Ugh!!! You're right too Danica! He SHOULD be waiting to finish his divorce!

I would have done the same! I would have thouhgt that someone would be pretty peed off to find a nice package has been delievered and kept by someone else. how were you to know!

Melanie0507 · #8 January 21st, 2008, 01:57 PM

what everyone else has said! Why would you keep a package that wasn't sent to anyone at your house? Then you have to mess around with sending it back and all that hassle. I would have done the same thing...

I would have done the same thing Jessica!! that is bullcrap and your parents should understand why you were confused

jademyst13 · #10 January 21st, 2008, 02:02 PM

What they should have done was ASK you if it was ok to send it there. Not TELL you or just let something show up!

Lv2Mommy · #11 January 21st, 2008, 03:31 PM

Okay, that's just crazy. Who keeps a package that not addressed to them??? I would've done the same thing...

..Jessica.. · #12 January 21st, 2008, 03:32 PM

Parents came home, I told my dad what happened exactly and he said that there's nothing I can really do. He said either him or my mom SHOULD have told me that there was something expected to come. He asked me what the package said, so I told him, and he said "Why didn't he just get her to 'care of' it to me? What an idiot!" So he understands why it was sent back.

Now all he has to do is get the tracking number so it can be delivered back here. Such a dumb thing!!! They only had to tell me!!! Takes 2 seconds to tell someone something!!!!

Not your fault...I am glad your dad was understanding!

I'm so glad you had a talk with your dad and cleared things up. However, the guy or the rather the girl who bought it and sent it should be the one to track it down. It all sounds a bit suspicious to me. Why would you be divorcing and still live with your wife. Sounds like they are still very married and he is cheating. If they were clearly divorcing, I wouldn't have a problem having a package sent, if the marriage is over then it would be in the open.

Anyway, it's not your responsibility and it's not your parents either. She could have sent it to his work.
