This was a delivery of a fairly large bouquet of flowers in a glass vase. We were not at home when the florist delieved so they left it with our neighbor. I called the neighbor at work and she said she would have her daughter bring it by who was running erands in her car (senior in high school). Now understand, this is a weird neighbor because she is a real estate agent with her smiling face on a couple of billboards around town. She's been in the paper and so she fancies herself somewhat of a public figure. But she is snotty, rude, won't return voice mails or emails, will hold up her hand and walk away from you if you try to speak to her in public, and this is unfortunately who the leadership of our 10-unit condo assn. fell to. I think her daughter was snubbing us by not at least waiting to HAND the flowers to us. She placed it so close to the outward swinging storm door, we couldn't open the door and had to walk around the block to retrieve the flowers. Was that rude?FrankNBeans10 who says I was rude for not offering to pick the flowers up? I DID! I knocked on their door but they were not home at the time which is why I called. I said we would pick it up when someone at their house came home. But then they just delivered it the way I described and I think they were rather rude and just avoiding contact when we have never been anything but nice, supportive, and helpful with these people. They just have a stick up their you-know-what and have no reason to be that way with us as we are very good neighbors and help out our block in all kinds of ways. But some people just look down their noses at others to feign superiority and it's called BEING A SNOT! And if you jumped in here FrankNBeans10 just to offend the Asker because you like being offensive, then it is YOU who is a snot as well and Yahoo! Answsers has too many punks like that running around. And you provide no details in your profile and won't accept emails. Gee! I wonder why?Thanks to all for those who support my position. I want to be clear, however, I am not "hopping mad" about this. I am not ranting. And I'm not really going to do anything about it because to call attention to something like this would be petty. But have you ever been snubbed, but were not entirely sure it was meant as a snub? I don't think the daughter PURPOSELY set the vase so close to the door, we couldn't open it. But it just speaks to a lack of common sense. And this was an expensive arrangement of flowers mind you...not something you would just leave laying outside for long. She absolutely knew we were there but did not want to have any face-to-face conversation. We would have been nothing but nice and appreiciative for their doing this. It just kind of sticks in my craw a little bit that they chose to avoid versus meeting us face-to-face like real adults. I think this daughter may also have been the older one in her early 20s (there are 3 daughters there.) FYI

Oh, that's definitely rude. I'd try and talk to her mother about it. You know, real estate agents are supposed to be more personable people. I'd advise my friends not to do business with her, for that specific reason.

[IamMale]

yes

[StarWarsFanattic]

That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. This woman needs a reality check and her daughter needs a boot in the Head

[Ted]

Character or personality has nothing to do with it, just a kid in a hurry to do a chore who had other things on her mind. Forget it.

[IndyaM]

Yes, that was rude, but look who is modeling behavior for her to imitate. She sees her mom is a well known, successful person and believes she will be just like her. The problem is....she is

[LoFlo]

Kinda thoughtless leaving it so close to the door that you couldn't open it without tipping the flowers. I'd say just give the daughter the benefit of the doubt, that she wasn't thinking, maybe she's cut from a different cloth than her mother (we hope)?

[LiseK]

Yes bloody rude .... my neighbour also did a similar thing to me once, my husband send me a big bouquet of flowers, in summer so it was very hot. He asked that it will be delivered early in the morning but they only delivered it later in the morning when I wasn't there. The stupid neighbour only brought it the next day ................never put it in water and all the flowers were wilting and dying. I mean why did she accept the flowers if she knew she was only bringing it the next day? People are so selfish

[Rhonda]

definitey rude... but it sounds like..... "like Mother, Like Daughter!!!!" nothing you can do about it.....now you know the daughter is the same way... Double the trouble!!! Happy Holidays!!!

[niome22]

Yes, seems like they didn't want to be bothered by it so lets just leave it outside.

[chesneyc]

She probably thought you were coming out to collect the flowers immediately and didn't realised that the door couldn't be opened or she probably was running out of time. Yes that was a little rude and it would be more polite to hand the flowers to you in person but don't let this "little" incident bothering you.

[Farmbredgrainfedallnatura]

Maybe she was being rude and maybe she was simply being a kid. Don't dwell on it. Send a nice thank you note for the fact that they got your flowers to you. Two wrongs never make a right. Rise above it.

[franknbeans10]

you are the rude one. You should have gone over and picked it up at your neighbors house. It was very nice of them to sign for it and then bring it your house. You have no right to be offended because they didn't extend themselves even further.It appears you are petty and jealous over your neighbor.

[Raven]

no.....and I think your making to big of a deal out of nothing.....get over it already...and you do sound like a hater..then you going to go on a rant about someone who put a comment you didn't like.....no wonder your neighbors don't want to talk with you...chill out....
