'She's nuttier than those poisoned cookies': Fake-nice neighbor leaves a cryptic message using baked goods, sparking a stalemate between floors

Neighborly feuds are common when you share a building. With paper walls and wafer-thin floors, it's tough not to be involved in everyone's business, but most apartment dwellers can tune out the white noise of regular life for the sake of everyone's sanity. However, the homebody in our next story found that their casual life was 'impossibly loud' for their unnerving downstairs neighbor, who made their sentiments known most creepily.

After living in the same upstairs apartment for 9 years, a cat-loving loner who kept to themselves started noticing some passive-aggressive behavior from the downstairs unit. Although they rarely had guests over, our story begins when the introvert had a friend over for dinner–but the fun came to a screeching halt when they received a wordy complaint from the newbie downstairs.

Scroll for the entire story of how this neighborly dispute escalated into strangely Cold War-style tactics that led one woman to question the safety of a batch of 'apology cookies' she found on her front doorstep. Were they chocolate chunk delights with an extra dash of revenge? Keep reading to find out!
