Hi everyone, it's been a while since i have posted but i am feeling a desperate need to vent! I apologize in advance for this being kind of long, and i thank anyone who takes the time to read and respond to it.
I have been having problems with my upstairs neighbor for a little while now, i live in a multi-family home on the first floor and she lives on the third floor... there are two apartments on the 2nd in case you were wondering  .
Anyways, i got along with her fine since i moved about 5 months ago, she was very friendly but somewhat annoying. and she was also very messy, she would leave clothes all over the place in the basement, where our washer and dryers both are. She would also leave garbage around the garbage area or sidewalk in the back of the house. But since i was trying to be nice I never said anything to her. then one night i had my sister over, she parked her car in the driveway in the first open space. this is the space that my neighbors bf always parks in, but since she doesnt have a car or anything I never even thought it would be a problem. but when they got home she came and knocked on my door and asked me to move the car. I immediatly apologized and my sister said she was leaving anyways, before i could say anything else she starts going on and on about how it is her spot and she pays rent so she is "ENTITLED" to that spot, blah blah blah. I was like, "uhmmmm, you dint even have a car, what difference does it make". and she like flew off the handle and went and called the landlord to tell on me!!
Well i go to bed and figure that it's over, whatever, she just wont park there anymore, no big deal. then i find a note the next morning. So i call the land lord to talk to him about it and i explain what happened and he says that he would prefer if we worked it out. so i go up to talk to her and she doesnt answer the door. I figured she was out so i sent her an email asking her to come talk to me when she gets home, or when she isnt busy. but she sends an email back instead, and it just goes on alllll day. Seriously over 12 hours of emailing back and forth because she refused to come and talk to me, or open her door when i walked up stairs, she just kept saying she was too busy cleaning. but she flips out on me like 4 times saying that i am trying to kick her out of the apartment, or that i have problems with everyone, etc. she even started complaining that she could hear my daughter running around from 2 floors up!! but eventually i get her to stop being so immature (sort of) and just forget about it, so that we can at least live in the same house.
a few days later she starts emailing me saying that she kept hearing my daughter running around, which i doubt is possible especially since my daughter was strapped in her high chair eating at the time. i told her so and it ended, a week or so after that she emailed me about something else. I told her i would take care of it and told her that i really would prefer that she came and talked to me about these things, i had asked her not to email or leave notes when she had a problem, but to simply come talk to me. i told her that i would no longer respond to any emails and that she would have to come talk to me in person. she was not happy with that and informed me that she didnt have time because "she works" which i am assuming is a jab at the fact that i am a stay at home mom. but i didnt hear anything for quite a while. Then this week my sister and her bf are staying with me because they cant afford a hotel and he is visiting after getting out of basic training. but she pulled into the driveway after work and parked at the bottom just to run inside to grab something. she ended up getting sidetracked and was inside for about 5-10 minutes. i happened to glance outside and see a cop walking up to the house, so i go look to see whats going on. well her mother had stopped by and when she couldnt get into the driveway she tried beeping the horn (which i didnt hear) and then called the police. I was like this is ridiculous, if her car is in the way it is absolutly her fault (my sister) and she should not have been there. And if they had come up and let me know i would have apologized profusly and had my sister move. instead they call the police?!!? And today i recieved another emailing from my neighbor asking if we could talk because she couldnt get a hold of the landlord. I am wondering if i should respond, or ignore it like i said i would. I am so pissed at this girl, and even the landlord has said that she is very immature. I am tired of dealing with it, I moved here to get more space and make things easier, not to deal with her drama all the time.
has anyone else had a problem with their neighbors like this? if so what did you do, or what would you do in my situation? |
