So my neighbor and his wife were very nice to us when we first moved to the neighborhood, brought us wine and brownies and has had us over to their house for snacks and conversation. They’ve lived in the neighborhood for 15+ years and there are other neighbors on the street that have been for same amount of time, if not longer. We moved in this past March. 

Since then he’s been asking us a lot of favors, pick up the mail for them while they’re out of town (that’s fine, that’s normal), check up on his god while he’s out (okay, sure), try to hook up his nephew from India with a job with my boyfriend’s company (um), and then on Halloween he tried to invite himself into our house and we were kinda like “ummm, what?” (had our dab kit out, wasn’t expecting company).

This week he asked me, not my boyfriend, to ship a package for him to his son who’s in a mental facility while he’s out of town. He dropped it off on Monday and said it *has* to be shipped on Thursday so it will arrive on Friday. He asked to me to get a receipt after I drop it off. I thought the whole thing was kind of weird, do they not have UPS stores in the Bay Area (where he went(obviously they do)) and couldn’t he have just shipped it on Thursday and paid for next day delivery? I reluctantly agreed because I’m a pushover and my boyfriend was pretty upset because to him it seemed like our neighbor was taking advantage of my niceness. 

For the record, we have never asked him for a favor for anything. We have reciprocated his niceness and brought him and his wife wine and cookies. I guess I’m confused why he didn’t ask any of the other people who live here who he has known for many years...

I don’t love when people put their responsibilities on me, but again, I’m a pushover. He texted me this morning and reminded me to drop it off and get a receipt, I replied okay, but that I wasn’t comfortable doing this in the future. He replied, “understood” but my boyfriend was still pretty pissed at the whole situation and called him and told him that he didn’t appreciate him asking his girlfriend to do things for him and that we would not be shipping the package and left it on his front porch. 

AITA for agreeing to drop it off and then not going through with it? I feel weird about it, but at the end of the day it’s not my responsibility, right?
