A mum has been slammed as "precious" and "weird" after criticising her neighbour for a mail habit.
The woman took to parenting forum Mumsnet to share details of why she was upset with her neighbour. She revealed that he has been taking her parcels from the front of their shared building and leaving them outside her door.
She asked users on the website to tell her if she was being "unreasonable" to not want the man "touching [her] parcels".

The woman wrote: "AIBU (am I being unreasonable) to not want neighbours touching my parcels?
"I live in big converted town house. There is a flat on each floor. I live on the second floor.
"My neighbour who lives in the attic (5th floor) always seems to touch my parcels.
"All post is delivered by the main entrance way on the ground floor. When he walks past to collect his parcels, he picks up any other ones that belong to other flats, and drops them off outside their front doors on the way up to his."
Before long, the post had received dozens of replies from fellow users. Almost all comments agreed that the original poster was being "odd" and needed to "get some perspective".
One suggested: "You sound a bit precious ,maybe just ask him not to do this?"
A second echoed: "You sound like a hard person to live next to! Wow! He’s being nice. You’re not. Get some perspective."
"You are being a bit odd," agreed a third, while a fourth simply said: "Weird".
"Some people really will complain about anything," argued a fifth.
A sixth posted: "I think this is one of the most ridiculous posts I’ve read on here! Get! A! Grip!!"
Meanwhile, a seventh shared: "It’s a considerate neighbourly thing to do. You are being very very unreasonable."
Another offered advice to the woman on how to handle the situation, commenting: "He sounds really helpful. But if you don’t want that nice neighbourly help then a polite note where the post goes should do the trick.
"'Please leave all post and parcels for No. x where they are, thank you.'"
