To not want neighbours touching my parcels

AIBU to not want neighbours touching my parcels.

I live in a big converted town house. There is a flat on each floor. I live on the second floor.

My neighbour who lives in the attic (5th floor) always seems to touch my parcels.

All post is delivered by the main entrance way on the ground floor. When he walks past to collect his parcels, he picks up any other ones that belong to other flats, and drops them off outside their front doors on the way up to his.

He sounds like a lovely helpful chap. I'd ve glad of his kindness. YABU.

Waiting for the drip feed that OP is a secret agent with MI5 and her parcels are set to self-destruct after being touched.

Bloody hell, some people will find anything to moan about! He's doing you a favour, my neighbours take parcels in, bring bins and recycling in when I'm at work and I do the same. Get a grip 🙄

Shock how dare he.

If you microwave each parcel for ten minutes that will get all the boy germs off

I thought this was going to be a thread about a neighbour removing parcels from the designated safe space or something so OP couldn't find them or had to go out of the way to get them instead of grading them out of the bin shed.

But no. It really is about someone literally touching them. Confused

OP, he's saving you a trip down the stairs. Why is this an issue? They were in a communal space. They're now in a different communal space but far closer to you. Chill.

I would appreciate this neighbour. He sounds sweet. My neighbours are all wankers

JauntyJinty · 31/08/2022 12:11

Although I agree with everyone the he's just being kind, I can't help but think I'd have to order a load of weight lifting equipment just to test how far the kindness goes!

averageavocado · 31/08/2022 12:11

why?

RaRaRaspoutine · 31/08/2022 12:12

This is going straight in the Express, isn't it. We could make a Mumsnet abbrieviation - DTMP (Don't Touch My Parcels). LTB and DTMP!!

Offandonagain · 31/08/2022 12:12

Your neighbour is a twat… obviously! I think the only thing you can do in this situation is move

HappySM1 · 31/08/2022 12:14

As long as he hasn't used a loo brush immediately before carrying your parcels

GreenManalishi · 31/08/2022 12:15

When you say touch, do you mean pick them up, carry them in his hands and pop them outside your door? Or tenderly cradle them next to his cheek and stoke them while looking around furtively?

Just have a little think about how many people touch your parcels before they get to your hall way. Brrrrrrrr.

Munchyseeds2 · 31/08/2022 12:16

🤣🤣 really??

Vikinga · 31/08/2022 12:16

It's being helpful! Why does it bother you?

Homewardbound2022 · 31/08/2022 12:16

Next order: a 6-piece Le Creuset set and a flat screen telly.

Gosh-darn weirdos, he probably gets his jollies from dropping your parcels off at your front door, like some kind of…….pervert! Perhaps it’s a fetish and he enjoys pretending he’s a postman. Does he ever insert objects through your front door orifice?

noclothesinbed · 31/08/2022 12:18

Is that your biggest problem in life. You need to get over yourself

chillipenguin · 31/08/2022 12:19

What's in your parcels?!

Hugasauras · 31/08/2022 12:05

He sounds lovely. You sound like a knob.

This.

SnoopyNoseTits · 31/08/2022 12:19

How fucking dare he be a nice guy. What a cunt

SatinHeart · 31/08/2022 12:20

YABU not to tell us why you don't want your parcels touched.

Is it a COVID thing??
