Answer 1

The truth  shall set you free!!!!

;)

Answer 2

Tell her, she will find out anyway - and the sooner you tell, the sooner she can get the package

Answer 3

well im gunna guess that they will redeliver the parcel, id go for the it didnt come today option, just cos im a goodie goodie and hate confrontation..hope this helps

Answer 4

HI it might not of been the parcel guy, as they usually put a note in the door telling you they have left the parcel with someone else in the street and for you to collect it at that address, or they will come back with it the next day or somthing. I hate when you are wating for a parcel and you dont know when its going to come and when it isnt, so it isnt really your fault, what if you were stuck on the loo you wouldnt of been able to answer it.

I would just tell her that you think there was someone at the door but you were in the bathroom so you didnt get to answer it in time and they didnt leave a note so it might of not been them, if she gets mad at you just tell her that if you need the loo then you had to go, if it was that important then she should of waited in herself for it. thats if she naggs at you as these things happen.

Answer 5

Tell her the truth.

If she moans, apologise, and promise never to shower again.

After a week, when you *really* start to hum, she'll see the error of her ways, and realise that showering is not really optional.

Answer 6

Tell her the truth - if u dont she probably  find out if u tell her  they did not deliver it or something. She will probably end up phoning the delivery company if it does not arrive and they will tell they have already been. Most delivery companies wil come back the next day or so to try again.

THe fact is that it happens to everyone and we all have to shower sometime, so ur mom just has to understand. If not, then know in ur heart that she is being unreasonable and it is not ur fault. By telling her the truth ur mom can phone the company and organise for re-delivery.

Answer 7

Tell her the truth, you're really sorry but you jumped in the shower a bit quick and couldn't get there in time. Say they litterally waited at the door less than a minute..

something similar happend with me, the bloke stood at the door, didn't even knock and walked away, i had to chace his van down the road.

Answer 8

Be honest.

Answer 9

Say the truth no matter what.

Remember, "Honesty is the best policy"

The Lord will be happy to you if you told the truth...

I also experienced that...

And I received the worst punishment of all by my dad...

But it's okay...

At least I told the truth...

And I'm safe now...

Answer 10

they'll redeliver so don't tell her

Answer 11

Just tell her, The delivery people will come back and try to deliver the package again .

Dont lie, beucase it will cause a whole lot of trouble for you and you will be getting the delivery people into trouble as well .

Answer 12

tell her, because other wise she might end up buying another one and it will cost her double the money and she will get even MORE angry when she finds out. Anyway, if you like in the UK she should be able to go and collect it from the main post office even after you missed delivery...

Good luck, and she can't be THT scary...?

Answer 13

You were orderin' a pizza and didn't want ye fat scary mom to have any....is that it?

You figured you could jump in the shower before the boy dropped off the pizza did ye?

You saw her jowls waterin"...how could you be so cruel.

Really.

You should be reported, poor woman probably knew the truth and went upstairs to crash on her bed...

God knows what would have happened then...

and all because of a pizza.

Answer 14

You should know that if you do something you shouldn't do - you will get caught!

I would confess - it's better to tell the truth.

Answer 15

Well, I think lying is never a good idea.

I do not think it is a lie to say that you did not receive ___ today.  

If asked did you hear the doorbell?  Where were you?  Say I was home all day, "the only thing I did was take a shower"  No lie there.

Answer 16

Just tell her the truth.Thay is always the best policy.

Answer 17

Tell her the truth, that you were in the shower and missed it.  Maybe she will forgive you and arrange for the parcel to be delivered when SHE is there, then there is no-one else to blame.

Answer 18

Why couldnt the deliverer just leave it at a neighbours, if its an important package tell her the truth or shell phone up and complain, then she'll find out.

if it wasn so important then dont tell her and theyll just bring it tomorrow or another day.

Answer 19

always tell the truth

Answer 20

The truth wont get you in problems.

Take care

Answer 21

tell the truth, a neighbour might have it... or might have see the delivery ppl. think of something important you could of being doing for her, like you were mopping the floor or vacuumin or washing the dishes or something for her instead and you missed it... lol

Answer 22

The truth will come out if the same guy comes back , bite the bullet and tell the truth , be close to the front door for a quick exit , if all h**l breaks loose

Answer 23

Tell her, she will only find out the truth anyway.

If she phones the delivery company asking where it is, they have it on record that it was delivered, but the occupier was unable to receive the parcel.

Usually companies redeliver.

Answer 24

Tell her, explain that you were trying to multitask :)

Answer 25

tell the truth this could happen to anyone

Answer 26

what is it that you are getting delievered if she really needs it then tell her the truth and if she doesnt the still tell her the truth just tell her

Answer 27

tell her a twisted truth. Tell her you couldn't answer the door because you were in the toilet with diahorrea!

Answer 28

did they leave a card .............if so it may have they left the parcel with a neighbour or somewhere at the back .............the phone number should be on the card  call them and they may be able to get the driver at come back as he/she is in your area still most likely

what ever happens tell the truth your mum will/should be ok about it .............. why couldn't she be there to get said package?

Answer 29

oooh... hard one.

its best to tell the truth as always, so you can get it out of your mind. But it depends on your mum- will she be likely to get really angry, or forget it in a few days, and if the delivered item was important to her?

Good luck, whatever you do.
