Resident demands neighbor stop “helping” by picking up his packages from building lobby after finding out the packages were opened, neighbor insists he'll regret it: ‘The lobby is a free-for-all'

The friendly neighborhood package opener is here, providing an unnecessary service to residents in need.

We all find ourselves fighting our curiosity over things that are none of our business. While we're not as curious as cats, it's in our human nature to be interested in other people, even if it's not really our place. When a neighbor has a package delivered to their front door, and the package ends up sitting there until they return home, we admit that our curiosity is piqued. What did they order that can fit into such a tiny package, and what is in the huge one that barely made it out of the delivery truck?

Sure, we get curious all the time over those things, but the one thing we don't do is indulge in this curiosity. We can guess and theorise all we want about someone else's business, but we should never cross the line that invades their privacy, so we can actually find out.

It is unclear whether or not the neighbor in the story below was indulging his curiosity, or was truly being helpful and made a mistake in the process; we only hope he won't get the chance to do it again. It all started when a resident in an apartment building had a package delivered to the lobby, but he was not there to pick it up. This led one neighbor to decide to be helpful and take the package home and bring it over to the resident once he returned home.

The first time it happened, the resident was grateful, appreciating the fact that his neighbor was preventing the package from being stolen. However,  it wasn't long before the same thing happened again, but this time, when the neighbor brought the package over, it completely opened. This led the resident to demand that the neighbor stop picking up his packages, telling him that while the sentiment is appreciated, he wishes to keep his privacy when it comes to what's inside the packages. In response, the neighbor claimed he opened the package by accident, and insisted that leaving the deliveries in the lobby would only result in the packages being stolen.

Should the resident believe the neighbor and let this mistake slide, or was he correct when he tried to protect his belongings? Keep scrolling to read the full story to decide.
