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 am sure that would help....
She didn't need to say anything other than that her neighbour sometimes took in post against her wishes. Saying that he is Mentally Defective is just as offensive to a Disabled Person as using the N word is to a Black Person. Its a case of Double Standards on discrimination i'm afraid!
