'Food delivery gone wrong:' Confusion with food order accidentally turns man into a thief

In New York City, when you order food, you get the call, text, or door buzz that says your delivery guy is there. Then you just go down, take the bag, say thanks, and walk away. No other exchange is needed or wanted—it's NYC, they don't have time to say hello and comment on the weather. So when this New Yorker got the message saying his food delivery guy was at the door, he went down and did just that—grabbed his food from the guy, said thanks, and left. 

Turns out, however, he was very much not grabbing his food order. He was grabbing the groceries of a neighbor who was waving at him from the door because he was locked out. This man stole his neighbor's groceries right out of his hands and then closed the door right back in his face. Before the accidental criminal realized what he had done, the damage was done and the neighbor was nowhere to be found. 

He had a few encounters again with the neighbor that were extremely awkward. But finally he got the courage to explain to him that he didn't mean to rob him, and we went back down to find him and he couldn't. Luckily, the neighbor was a good sport and they shared a laugh about it and are even friends now.
