“远亲不如近邻”，同住一个楼房，邻里间平时偶尔搭把手、帮个忙是常有的事，这不仅是礼貌，更是繁华都市里难得的一点人情味儿。
然而，国外一小伙最近却因为邻里间的这点“举手之劳”头疼不已。
据这个小伙在Reddit上发帖显示，他和女友刚刚搬进一个新的公寓，公寓每层有四户，每户都有独立的入口，搬进来这些天，他们还没有和邻居打过交道。
这天，他上楼时，碰到了一个女邻居，女邻居要回老家度假，但是，有个延迟发货的包裹快到了，想请他帮忙代收一下，小伙想都没想就答应了。
结果，女朋友不同意!给的理由也很充分：我们不认识这个邻居，谁知道她包裹里面放的是什么?更不知道她什么时候会回来取。总之一句话，不允许代收，她甚至放话，要是他敢拿进来，她就给扔出去。
这就让人有点看不懂了，小伙也是一脸懵，原本只是邻里间的一点善意，咋就成了洪水猛兽呢?大家觉得呢?
A 20-year-old man explained that he and his girlfriend recently moved into an apartment complex where each floor has four doors and separate entrances, and they hadn’t “interacted with any neighbors.”
这位20岁的男子解释说，他和女朋友最近刚搬进一套公寓，每层楼有四个房间，各自拥有独立的入口，搬家以来他们还“没跟任何邻居打过交道”。
One day, while heading upstairs, he encountered a neighbor who asked him for a favor: she had “a package on back order” and wanted him to take it in for her while she went home for the holidays.
有一天，他上楼时，偶遇了一位邻居，邻居请他帮个忙：她有个“延迟发货的包裹”要到了，想请他在自己回老家度假期间帮忙代收一下。
He noted that the complex is located in “a very safe neighborhood in a very safe city,” but added that packages could still be vulnerable since “the main doors to each sub section don’t have locks.” Without hesitation, he agreed, thinking it was simply a neighborly thing to do.
他提到，这套公寓位于“一个治安相当好城市，街区也很安全，”，但他补充说，由于“每个分区的正门都没有锁”，包裹还是有被盗的风险。他不假思索就答应了，觉得这是邻里之间该做的事。
When the package arrived, the man told his girlfriend about it, only to be met with resistance.
包裹送到后，男子把事情告诉了女朋友，没想到却遭到了强烈反对。
She argued that he “would not be allowed to bring it in,” citing concerns that “we don’t know what’s in the package, we don’t know the neighbor, and we don’t know when they will be back and need the package back from us.”
她争辩说“绝对不能把包裹拿进屋”，理由是“我们不知道包裹里是什么，我们不认识这位邻居，而且也不知道他们什么时候回来找我们取包裹”。
