NEED TO KNOW

  • A woman says a friend asked to have a package delivered to her home “three months ago,” and she still hasn’t come to collect it

  • The woman says she’s tempted to just “toss” the box, but she’s worried she’s being “a dick”

  • The woman shared her story on a popular community forum, where a number of people suggested tips for handling the dilemma

A woman says that a friend hasn’t picked up a package from her house in “months” — and she’s wondering if she’d be a “dick” if she got rid of it.

The woman detailed her story in the “Am I Being Unreasonable?” forum on the U.K.-based community site Mumsnet.com, a place where people can go to get advice about interpersonal issues. In her post, the woman explained that one of her friends asked if she could have a “medium-sized” package delivered to her home last March “as she needed it the next day and she had work.”

“Parcel came, I text her to let her know I have it and it’s been sitting in my hallway ever since!” the original poster (OP) said.

The woman said that she has followed up with her friend several times, but the friend has been inconsistent with her responses and has given no indication that she plans to come get the package anytime soon.

“It’s p—– me off,” the OP continued, adding that the package is “taking up room” in the hallway of her small home.

“Am I being a dick if I get rid of it?” the woman asked her fellow community members, adding, “I’m worried that if I do get rid of it she will text and say ‘I’m coming to get my parcel,’ but it’s been three months.”

Post commenters were quick to tell the OP that she’s not being unreasonable to want to finally get rid of the package, and a number of people shared what they would do in a similar situation.

“I would text and say your parcel is going in the bin if you don’t collect it by Sunday evening, and then toss it,” one person suggested.

Another person said, “Message her and say you can’t keep the parcel any longer, so what would she like you to do with it? Suggest you either dispose of it if she no longer needs it, or put it outside by X date for her to collect. Presenting her with an option is a softer way of saying, ‘It’s leaving my house, and I don’t care how.’ “
