'[IT'S] LOOSE IN MY HOUSE BECAUSE OF YOU': Entitled thief faces instant karma after stealing neighbor's package, unaware it contained a Tarantula

So, there's this 30-year-old hobbyist who's really into collecting just about anything. He often gets his collectibles delivered to his house, but he has this new neighbor who's a real piece of work. She keeps stealing his packages. Even after the OP changed his delivery preferences to tell couriers NOT to leave his packages with her, the entitled neighbor still received them sometimes yet denied any knowledge of them. Or she would blame her 9-year-old son for opening them by mistake. Yeah, ok.

After this encounter, the OP found out that yet another crucial package had been delivered to the neighbor, so he went over to the neighbor's place to confront her. Once again, the neighbor denied having the package.

And here's where it gets epic. While he was on the phone with the courier, the neighbor suddenly appeared at her door, freaking out about a massive spider that had escaped from the package. The OP obviously didn't care about the neighbor's fear of spiders; he was just happy that she admitted to stealing his package and went and rescued the poor tarantula.

Moral of the story? Don't mess with someone else's packages. You might just end up with an unexpected visitor.

    I've been lurking in this sub for a while and I wanted to share this story that happened a few weeks ago. I (30F) am a hobbyist, as such I order additions to my collection that are delivered via post or courier.

    Now my entitled neighbour (28F) moved into her house roughly 3 months ago with her 9yr old son. I was close friends with the people who lived there previously and I had them listed as trusted neighbour to deliver packages to if I'm not home. Since she moved in I

    absorbed into my work so by the time I realise that it was 12.30pm and my package was supposed to have been delivered before then, I started to worry. The first thing I did was check my emails to see if I'd been notified of a delay. My heart sank when I saw the message

    saying my package had been delivered to my selected neighbour. I left my house and went straight to my neighbours house to knock on her door. When she opened the door she gave me a look that said she was definitely not happy to see me.

    Me - Hi EN I just had a notification that my package has been delivered here please may I have it? EN- There's nothing here!
    via u/Significant-Cap-5813

    Me - I was emailed by the courier service that they delivered to your address. EN was obviously getting angry. told you there is - I just nothing here for you!
    via u/Significant-Cap-5813

    Me- Please can you... Before I could finish she slammed the door in my face. I was obviously annoyed and knocked on her door again and waited but she completely ignored me for at least 10 minutes.

    Feeling frustrated I went back home and called the courier service, wanting the delivery person to come back and make sure I got my package back. I was on hold for quite a while before I finally got through to someone.

    Just as I was telling the service operator what was happening, my door bell rang several times then there was repeatedly loud banging coming from my front door followed by the bell again. I asked the operator to hold on for a moment while I checked who was at my door. I opened

    the door and there was EN red faced and with her son who was crying. EN- THERE'S A HUGE SPIDER LOOSE IN MY HOUSE BECAUSE OF YOU!!! Yes I collect tarantulas, true spiders and lots of other inverts.

    At first I was scared that EN had harmed one of my new tarantulas, but I couldn't keep the sarcasm out of my voice. Me - oh so you did get my package after all.

    I closed my door and talked to the operator who had heard everything, since I had already told them what was in the package, they were laughing down the phone. I told them I'd have to go rescue my spider from the crazy Karen.

    I grabbed a catch cup and paint brush from my spider room and opened my front door again. EN was still stood there looking furious and her son was now completely sobbing.

    Since then I've contacted every courier service in my area and demanded that they never leave anything at her address again. There has been one incident where a package from work was delivered to her but as soon as I knocked on her door she just handed me the

    unopened box and closed the door in my face, much to her son's disappointment if his yelling was anything to go by. Moral of the story is don't open someone else's package, it might just contain giant spiders!
