50-Year-Old Woman in Disbelief After Neighbor Called Her ‘Sad' for Complaining About Party: ‘Should We Have Sucked It Up?'
'Should we have just sucked it up, closed our windows and stayed inside?' she asked, following the confrontation with her neighborNEED TO KNOW A 50-year-old woman teamed up with a group of neighbors to confront a tenant in their apartment complex who hosted a large party Recalling the situation on Reddit, she said the exchange became "toxic" when the other person and her friends began hurling insults at the group 'Should we have just sucked it up, closed our windows and stayed inside?' the woman askedA 50-year-old woman is having second thoughts about her decision to confront a new tenant in her apartment complex. On Monday, July 28, the woman penned a lengthy post on Reddit's Am I the A------ forum, explaining that she lives in a large apartment complex with 'historical significance.' She said it has huge communal gardens that are great for sitting in with friends or solo. In recent years, however, neighbors have been using the shared space to host parties with over 50 attendees on the weekend. She said the events are often noisy until the early hours, guests use residents' parking bays and the grounds are used as a toilet due to no available facilities nearby. 'Recently, a new-ish tenant declared her intention to hold a big party in the grounds and her Facebook post got a few 'likes' (from her friends), but when it came to the weekend in question she had hired in a massive marquee that could easily hold 100 people and decided to put it up right in the middle of the gardens,' the woman wrote. The woman said the tenants who live in the apartment complex have a Facebook group, where many began to complain about the disruptive party and the size of the marquee. She recalled that other members of the group, who 'don't get impacted by garden parties as they're on the other side of the building,' started hurling insults. 'We are apparently 'sad, mean, despicable, douchebags,' just some of the choice phrases,' the original poster recounted, before revealing that several members on her side of the group were also trolled privately. The woman said everyone who complained about the party noise was accused of 'piling on' the host. 'We then received a massive 'pile on' of messages ranging from the 'mean, miserable, despicable, sad old farts' to the petulant 'I hope you're happy' grumpiness backlash piled on all weekend,' she continued.

She described the exchange in the Facebook group as getting 'toxic very quickly.' She argued the comments made by those who disagreed were the party were 'really tame,' while those who supported the event made it personal. 'So, AITA [am I the a------] for being part of the no group?' the woman asked Redditors. 'Should we have just sucked it up, closed our windows and stayed inside?' Responses to the post reassured the woman that it was the right decision to confront the tenant hosting the loud party. Many advised her to make a noise complaint with the police or to report the tenant to the housing manager. 'NTA [not the a------]. Communal spaces such as this are intended for the use of residents, not to be used by mobs of outsiders. No event should be allowed to affect any of you in the ways that you describe,' one person commented. 'NTA. I think you all are being way too polite about huge parties of people p---ing in your gardens. More people should be loudly angry about that,' another wrote. Read the original article on People

Woman Accuses Roommate of 'Showing Off' After Talking to Guest About Her Family's Culture
She was just sharing her background when a guest asked about her cooking, but now her roommate thinks she crossed a lineNEED TO KNOW A woman explains her multicultural background to a guest who asks about her cooking Her roommate later accuses her of flirting and being "showy" in her own kitchen The woman says she just answered his questions and now faces awkward tension at homeA woman got into a tense confrontation with her roommate over a seemingly innocent conversation about her culture. The 21-year-old, who describes herself as half Mexican and half Chinese, was left questioning whether she crossed a line after speaking about her heritage with a guest in their shared apartment. 'My parents came to the US before I was born, but thought it was very important for me to learn their native languages and participate in both of their cultures," she explains in her Reddit post. As a result, she grew up fluent in both Spanish and Mandarin and surrounded by a rich blend of Chinese and Mexican cuisine due to their love of cooking. The conflict unfolded one evening when she was cooking dinner, specifically, a family-created "fusion" dish, at home. 'I got stuck on a particular step, so I called my mom to ask for help and we talked in Spanish,' she writes, adding that her 23-year-old roommate, Ann, unexpectedly returned home with friends. One of the male guests entered the kitchen after noticing the aroma and asked what she was making. 'I explained the dish was created by my parents to blend Mexican and Chinese cuisine,' she recalls, noting that the guest seemed genuinely interested in the cultural fusion. He then asked why she was speaking Spanish on the phone, prompting her to share a bit about her upbringing. 'I told him that I'm half Mexican and half Chinese, and that I grew up speaking both Spanish and Mandarin with my parents,' she writes. The conversation continued with more questions about food and language, which she answered enthusiastically. The next day, the situation took a turn when another roommate told her that Ann felt she was 'showing off and flirting' with the guest. 'This pissed me off because I wasn't trying to flirt with him and he was the one who started the conversation with me,' she says. Wanting to clear the air, she approached Ann to discuss what happened, but the talk didn't go well. 'She just seemed annoyed and told me that it was obvious how it looked and I should be more mindful when she has her friends over,' the woman writes. Caught off guard by the accusation, she pointed out that she hadn't even been informed that guests were coming over. 'I told her that I can't be 'mindful' if she doesn't even warn me about having company over,' she says, adding, 'She said that she doesn't have to get my permission to invite people to the apartment.' At this point, the poster admits she got frustrated and decided to drop the conversation. 'I was getting irritated by this point so I let the conversation die down after this,' she shares. Since then, the atmosphere at home has been noticeably strained. 'Every time I see her she's short with me and barely acknowledges me,' she explains. With tension lingering, she turns to Reddit to ask if she "behaved out of line." Responses from Reddit users flooded in, offering strong support. One commenter emphasizes, 'This doesn't have anything at all to do with your heritage. This has to do with somebody she's obviously interested in was talking to you.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Another backed her up by addressing the apartment dynamic. ''She said that she doesn't have to get my permission to invite people to the apartment.' She's right. And you don't need permission to talk to people in your apartment.' Though the original post centers on cultural identity and a casual kitchen conversation, it became clear that jealousy may be at the heart of the issue. Still, the poster insists she had no hidden motives. Her only intention, she explains, was to cook dinner and share a meaningful part of her life when asked, expressing both pride in her heritage and confusion over the backlash. For the poster, the ordeal remains unresolved, but she ends on a lighter note by sharing, 'I posted the recipe to what I made on my profile since many of you were curious!'
