Dear Teh Interwebz:
I need advice of the etiquette sort. Here's the situation:
We live in a duplex and have upstairs neighbors. I'll call them N (male) and B (female). Both of their names are on the mailbox, and as far as we knew, they lived there together as partners/boyfriend and girlfriend/wev. So Ben & I regularly ask them to feed our cats when they're gone, and they're usually happy to do so, because N likes cats but doesn't have any. Anyway, they did while we were gone over Xmas, and Ben and I bought a Target gift card for them. I wrote their names on the "To" field, both of them.
And then, um. This afternoon, I hear two people gettin' it on on the couch upstairs (i.e., right above my head, as opposed to somewhere in the back corner). When they leave, an hour or so later (no, they weren't doin' it the whole time), it's N and . . . someone who is not B.
I don't know if they've broken up; Ben and I are both pretty sure we saw or heard or smelled B (she cooks) as recently as yesterday. I know; scandalous!
But I already wrote "N & B" on the 'to' field on the gift card.
So do I buy a new gift card and use the old one ourselves (we will)? Or just give it to N as is?
Thanks,
Stephanie
