Woman With Two Dogs Moves To A Bigger Apartment To Accommodate Them, But Finds Neighbor From Hell Who Demands They Switch Apartments
A person's home is the place they would be spending the majority of their time in, so it's normal for them to want to choose the right place to live in.
Several factors determine what this right place can mean for a person, including space, cost, comfortability, and design.
Since preferences differ, it's not uncommon to find one person focusing on one factor compared to another.
As long as the home is beautifully suited to a person, it's perfect because that suitability makes it a home. We found a story on Reddit that reiterates this importance.
According to the post's author, they had paid much attention to ensuring their home was perfect. For them, this meant getting a two-bedroom apartment to separate work from leisure, as they work from home.
They further revealed that they ran into one of their new neighbors. And the neighbor had not only gotten upset that they lived in a two-bedroom apartment, but she had also asked to switch houses because she lived in a one-bedroom with her family of 4.
OP (Original poster) had responded that they didn't care about her living situation, triggering an aggressive reaction.
In OP's words;
I thought she was joking, so I just started laughing. Not a nervous laugh or anything. I just genuinely found her suggestion hilarious.

Let's dig into the details
It starts normally:
And then...
...gets so weird:
The story went viral, garnering 11.7k upvotes and 1.3k comments. Here's how the Reddit community reacted:
"Consider getting a doorbell camera because these people are clearly unhinged"
"She’s being a mooch"
"Immediately report this as harassment to the building management"
"You can live in a 4000 sq ft mansion if you could afford it. It's no one's business"
"You're NTA for living how you live and not caring about a literal strangers living situation"
"I highly doubt they’re in a one bedroom house with 4 people listed on the lease"
"NTA - I bet if you had agreed to switch with her ( very unrealistic) - she would have wanted to pay the lower rent for the 1 bed while having a 2 bed"
"She sounds extremely entitled"
"NTA. I snickered. I completely side with you as a renter of a two-bedroom"
"Nta, why do so many parents expect strangers to care about their kids? (Except abuse, of course)"
"This lady just sounds like a bitter person and the fact that she brought up reporting you to the governor is just crazy talk and I would stay away from her and her family"
"That said, be careful. You may want to preemptively let your building management know about the interaction"
It’s OP for the win this time, as a majority of the commenters believe the neighbor was the wrong party in this case.
Some people even raised the possibility of the neighbor getting into legal trouble for overcrowding their apartment. In some states, it's actually illegal for more than two people to occupy a one-bedroom apartment.
Others blamed the lady for not looking hard enough for an apartment suitable for her large family. In the end, OP’s spot as NTA remains unshaken.
