OP is a Canadian government contractor seeking clarity on a situation with their roommate. They work away from home and frequently receive packages, which they ask their roommate, who works from home, to retrieve from the porch. However, the roommate often neglects this task, leading to packages being left unattended. OP is concerned about theft, especially when receiving mailed joints from their sister. The roommate dismisses OP’s expectations as excessive, asserting they’re not obligated to help. OP acknowledges it’s not a daily request and offers favors like car use. They question whether they’re being unreasonable or if the roommate’s stance is unfair. The situation revolves around differences in perception: OP considers it common courtesy to assist, while the roommate disagrees. OP seeks perspective on whether their concerns are valid or if they should reevaluate their expectations.
