  • Older woman with short gray hair and glasses standing on a dirt path surrounded by dense greenery, looking off to the side with a concerned expression.
  • Entitled old lady tells me I’m not allowed to stand outside my own apartment

    So I live in a small apartment complex only 4 units, from the outside you won't expect it to be apartments. I had my friends over one Saturday afternoon uno the usual a man in there 20s would do watching the football etc
  • We all go down at half time for a ciga tte and it's raining so we are stood in the doorway of the flats to keep out the rain (everyone else who lives there does the same) it's a busy town centre lots of people are walking
  • past doing shopping etc and we are all stood talking about the football laughing and joking having a good old time until an old lady comes over probs in her 70s and
  • is visibly annoyed by something she tells us rather rudely and abruptly "you need to move away from that doorway" so obviously taken aback I ask her why she says "I
  • don't need to tell you why I'm telling you to move away from the building and stop messing around outside the open door" so
  • Two young men standing side by side on a residential street, one wearing a green plaid shirt and smiling, the other in a striped T-shirt, both looking at the camera with trees and parked cars in the background.
  • I try to explain to her why we are there and she abruptly interrupted me saying "you need to move on or I will get the security (the town centre
  • has its own security guards) to move you on you can't be stood in a doorway that isn't yours and interrupting peoples business"
  • What I did next was a stroke of genius and had my 2 friends absolutely howling laughing, I closed the door and said yeah I hate when people interrupt peoples
  • business whilst simultaneously pulling out my keys opening the door again. I look at her de d in the eyes and say am I still not allowed to be here? Or should you go and find the security guards still?
  • My friends are laughing at the whole situation the old lady says nothing not an apology or anything and walks away
  • A few weeks later I heard the same lady shouting at this lovely homeless lady about the same thing. who sits outside our flats
  • and has permission to sit on the step to get out of the rain I went down and this time shouted at her telling her to mind her
  • own business and that the homeless lady has permission to be there and that she's the only person who isn't wanted here
  • The police came over as someone else reported her for shouting and swearing and told her she needs to leave once again not even apologising for
  • Older woman with short gray hair and glasses standing with her arms crossed on a dirt road surrounded by lush green trees, looking directly at the camera with a serious expression.
  • her behaviour just walked away defeated I came to find out from the police that she is an alc ic who does this kind of
  • thing all the time getting annoyed or shouting at people like she owns the town centre
  • Edit: the old lady in question doesn't live in or near the apartment complex I live in
  • Alive_Room6023 I would hope that if she's such an issue with the police that they would cite her with disturbing the peace or something.
  • Ambitious-Tie-5269 Original Poster's Reply They threatened her with something like that if she didn't leave so she left
  • YouShouldBeHigher Thank you for your kindness to the homeless lady. I hate seeing people living on the street, but I know some of them actually prefer that life (we have one like that in our town). Giving them a safe place to sit in the rain hurts nobody.
  • Ambitious-Tie-5269 Original Poster's Reply Yeah super sad case she's lovely aswell so polite and kind despite her situation never asks for money and is super thankful for anything she receives. I try help as many homeless people in my area as possible with food, clothing, hygiene products etc I was. homeless for 6 months (luckily never ended up on the streets) and we are all one bad paycheque away from being homeless so treating the less fortunate with kindness and compassion is what god intende
  • Illustriousesy The absolute AUDACITY to tell someone they can't stand outside their own apartment. You handled that flawlessly.
  • Ambitious-Tie-5269 Original Poster's Reply I mean the majority of the comments on here are telling me the exact same thing
  • Popular-Reply-3051 Also stupid as going by the language I'm going to guess OP isn't from the US as they write town CENTRE.
  • Ambitious-Tie-5269 Original Poster's Reply Although not a she was definitely a Tory which is just as bad
  • cdb-outside I'm someone with asthma and neighbors smoked by the door in one of my apartments. It wasn't a regular thing, just a random hang out. It triggered asthma attacks and took me a long time to recover. I ended up moving. It is not just the smell it really causes problems for others.
  • Ambitious-Tie-5269 Original Poster's Reply Yeah but nobody at these flats have asthma? People making up the craziest what ifs it's actually wild... what if I light a ciga tte and there's a leaking gas main and it blows up the whole of London?
  • Bright-List1207 Sounds like the lady has a mental health issue. Your behavior does nothing to help the situation. Just makes you feel superior. Yeah, you sure showed her. Has it helped?
  • Ambitious-Tie-5269 Original Poster's Reply It's called being drink mate if she's got mental health issues due too ic that's her being an alc problem not mine. The world doesn't need to walk on egg shells because you don't know when to stop drinking. She needs to go rehab and give up the bottle instead of harassing people I have absolutely zero sympathy for anyone who drinks alc ol after growing up with alc ic parents who thankfully realised they was the problem not the world and stopped drinking
  • auroradelagaia I'm torn on this one: many places have a no smoking close to doorways law and I'm guessing if you're violating that her only threat is the municipal authorities if people are always using the entrance to her home to smoke and she has to smell it. She may also be 70ish and not have a support system or finances to move to a place that is quieter and give her the chance to avoid smells/sounds that bother her. Her only resource is to ask you to stop. But... I've lived in many dense ar
  • souryoungthing What do you mean by that?
  • Ambitious-Tie-5269 Original Poster's Reply I mean the door to the apartment complex she doesn't reside inside was promised to her 3000 years ago
  • Minute-Frame-8060 Thank you! Who wants someone being gross near the entrance of a building? Nasty. We gave ordinances too, I don't know how close to the building exactly but it's posted along entryways.
