Never thought I would be sticking up for Margaret, however it seems that she cannot do right from wrong.
This neighbour has problems. How do you express that, Brain Injured? Mentally Defective? Mentally Backward? Stupid? Simple? or Retard?
Shall we say the Neighbour is just Devious? Sneaky? Treacherous? Nasty? Obnoxious? Rude? or an A@@@@@e? having got a free cooker and keeping hold of Airline Tickets etc......
She was only trying to illustrate a point about deliveries and how it can go wrong when delivered to the wrong address.
The neighbours Colour, Creed, Mental State, Religion etc has nothing to do with it other than to explain the problem.
If it offends you, then sorry, but this is a adult site, she has not made any nasty derogatory comments like the 'N' word referred to by Taggy.
How was she meant to explain the problem,
maybe this edit might be appropriate

I live next door to a normal person who has, in the past, taken in my mail and sat on it for days. This was traumatic when it once was holiday travel tickets and I had to request replacement at the 11th hour, only for him to produce them on the day before the departure.
I have even bought and installed a large set of chrome door numbers on his door, in order to attempt to avert any future incorrect deliveries.
Even that simple precaution does not always avert potential tragedy.
Like the time I was awaiting delivery of a new cooker, and found that it had been delivered to him, and installed. If I hadn't noticed that his cooker was being parked on the front lawn, I may well have been still waiting.
Argos have 'order tracking' which is an invaluable service when you have a neighbour like mine, so I tracked it. The GPO have a tendency to avoid this area on saturdays, so I didn't really expect delivery until tomorrow, tuesday, but it would be nice to see 'dispatched'.
I just checked and read 'delivered' - what a porky pie - just glad it was only a fiver.
I have mailed them as follows -
Comments - This website shows 'delivered'- Oh no it hasn't!
I didn't really expect it to be (being easter)
but it is rather naughty for you to say it has.
If it had been an expensive item I might well have panicked.
I have been at home 24/7 for the past 6 weeks.
I do live next door to a normal who has been known to take in my mail and sit on it for days, so I always 'track' any delivery.
Please ensure that porkies are not a part of your customer service plan.
