I'm not laughing at you, but I couldn't help but laugh as I done a very similar thing years ago when i was a courier.
Before people give me crap, hear me out.
Years ago it was very common to leave parcels in a "safe place" it was a regular practice back then. But I was always considerate where I would leave things.
But this one customer was always ordering catalogue goods and was NEVER in. Most of the time the parcels were a box and some weight to them and as they had an open porch I never felt it was safe to leave them. So in turn I would have to take it back out on my route as a Redelivery up to 3 times, and guess what, NEVER home. Needless to say this used to give me the hump.
One day I had what was clearly clothes, which was a pair of trousers. I was up to my eyeballs in deliveries and thought, stuff it, I'll throw it over the back fence, it's not like it's going to break or anything right? I will admit I threw it with some venom and carded the door to say where it was.
End of the day, I got back to the office, and the depot manager questioned me about the delivery, I told him what I did, and I said, why was there a problem?
With a big grin on his face, he then proceeded to tell me that the customer had complained that I threw it over their fence.......... and landed in their swimming pool!!!!!!!!!![emoji38]
I had to laugh, but at the same time understood that it would of pissed them off.
Moral of the story, some couriers give the majority a bad name, there are the idiots, but most are considerate and let me tell you, one of the most exhausting jobs going. You imagine doing up to and around 150 deliveries a day, I kid you not, and that can carry up to 300 parcels, and then do your collections after that! It's a thankless job, and I'm glad I don't do that no more.

only jesting of course....I know what you mean.
