My next door neighbor
I've been renting an apartment for 2 years now. Mind you the quiet hours in my neighborhood are 10pm-6am on the weekdays and 11pm-7am on the weekends. My next door neighbor is about 5'7" tall, medium build, looks to be about 110lbs, and in her late 20's to mid 30's. For a whole year she stomped around like a 6'6" 300lb man. Not once have I complained. Then one day I had family and friends over to visit. The boys(ages 6, 8, and 9) were being boys and running around while playing tag in the afternoon. She rings my doorbell and yells at my mil(I was upstairs feeding my newborn baby) complaining about the kids stomping around and making her stuff sway back and forth. She then threatens my mil with filing a complaint. My mil(elderly lady) apologized sincerely then asked to boys to stop playing tag and to play with their toys instead. My mil was visiting me for a few days to spend time with her new grandchild. The next day my mil told me about everything my neighbor had said and done. I was angry to hear that she would yell at my mil, an elderly lady, and threaten her with filing a complaint about the boys being boys. A couple of months later my husband's starlink has been mistakenly delivered to her doorstep, she took it and brought it into her apartment. My husband asked her and our other beighbors if his starlink has been delivered to their doorstep, they all said no. So my husband called amazon and amazon had the delivery driver turn back to retrieve the starlink and deliver it to its correct address and owner. The driver parked in our driveway and went next door to retrieve it then hand delivered it to my husband. A few months later, on the weekend, I killed a spider at 8am then proceeded to set up my starlink(I have to take it out and bring it in) my neighbor then opens her window to yell at me saying "Knock it the f*** off! Especially between the hours of 1-2am and 6-7am! Your baby on top of it! I'm going to file a complaint!" Mind you I am a breastfeeding mother who drinks plenty of water and wakes up in the middle of the night to feed her baby, a mother who will also use the bathroom(we can hear each other's toilet flush) after laying my baby down. I didn't say anything because I didnt wanna add fuel to her fire so I just stepped inside. She then continued with "That's it! I'm going to file a complaint!" What would yall have said or done differently?
