Input: About 6 months ago a friend and his wife asked if I wanted to share a place with them, as they were moving back into town. I was looking into getting out of my current living situation so I said yes.

My issue is my friend asks me a lot to get stuff from the store for him. Usually that would be fine every now again, but it seems to happen every week or two. If it was as simple as getting a gallon of milk or something that’s fine. However, usually the requests get on my nerves. 
For example: friend was putting together a birthday dinner for his wife. He was freaking himself out and running around like a chicken with his head cut off cleaning and trying to make everything look nice. I got home from a long day at work and he asked me to go to the liquor store and get a bottle of wine. Usually I’d be fine with it, however he was going to be leaving in a moment to go to her favorite restaurant to pick up a to go order, and would’ve passed another liquor store. He wanted me to save him the 10 minutes by spending 20 of mine  since I “wasn’t doing anything”.  Ended up being a big deal even though he ended up getting the wine and having more than enough time to fix everything. 

Another time he asked if I would go out Black Friday morning and buy a TV for him since he was working. He did offer to pay but I made up an excuse as to why I didn’t want to as I hate crowds and was planning on taking advantage of having that morning off since my company was going to be closed. 

The most recent was mentioning that I was going to go to sports store to pick up some gun ammo. He asked me to pick up an accessory for him and he’d pay me. I half jokingly asked him to just pick up some ammo for me, since it sounded like he was already planning on going at some point since he needed his ammo. His response was that he didn’t think of it till I mentioned I was going to that store. 

Not to mention the numerous times he asks me to pick up items, even when I ask if anyone wants a ride to the store. He will wait for me to get there and then call me with his request.

I’ve brought it up with him before saying I don’t like it, that I’m fine with helping friends out but he asks for favors way more than any one else i know. He said, “yes I do, because you live with me”.

Am I the asshole? My reasoning is that I hate having to bug them for money to pay me back for the items I get. In addition if they have time to get these things,  why do they ask me to help out? If they truly had no time I’d totally understand. My position is that simply because I am roommates with them does not mean that I should help them with their errands for their personal items, even if it isn’t that inconvenient for me.
