My Fed-X driver leaves it with a neighbor if I don't answer. And normally I know if I've ordered something.
Is that your argument?
To: BushisTheMan
My point is that both my Fed-X and UPS drivers simply drop the packages off at my door (I have a signature release) after knocking on the door once and then promptly leaves without waiting. Basically a knock and run. I've had a Fed-X driver show up as late 9 PM. It happens. As far as "knowing it's coming" that's true most of the time but not always. When my wife orders things she doesn't tell me. And sometimes things take more than a month to show up or come in multiple shipments.
The point is I shouldn't be able to sue the Fed-X driver because he scared me by knocking on my door and promptly leaving. There are many circumstances where that could happen, it's life.
If the woman is hyper sensitive to normal life it is her responsibility to do something about it. Things such as a motion detector porch light, outside lighting, a gate, no trespassing notices etc. She's the one with the problem, she's the one that should be obligated to provide the solution.
And last but not least, did she take reasonable precautions to prevent this foreseeable situation from happening which only she knew about? Answer: No.
Bottom line: The situation is entirely of her own making. Now she's living the consequences as it should be.
