26-year-old woman refuses when neighbor demands bread after complaining about the noise created by her baking: 'She is now telling other people in our building that I'm petty and unneighborly'

How tolerant do we all knead to be of noises in close-quarters living coniditions? While you'd usually imagine baking bread as a rather quiet activity, this home baker managed to get her neighbor all worked up over the noise created by her bread-making. This did not stop the neighbor from requesting the fruits of the labor.

I like to imagine that every older generation is struck with a deep-seated fear upon seeing that their new neighbors getting out of the moving truck are millennials… As they experience a strong visceral realization that they're going to wind up with a chicken coop next to their home.

And it's fair enough, for several complex cultural reasons, we aging millennials have a draw, a desire to be more connected with our lives and the natural world.

Egged on by this feeling that we're disconnected from the lives and experiences that the humans before us had had for many thousands of years. Baking, knitting, embroidering, canning, taking up pottery and woodworking, we're all looking for ways of slowing down and disconnecting from the World Wide Web that turned the world on its head over the last 35 years.

AITAH for refusing to share my homemade bread with a neighbor who complained about the noise of making it?

Many a chicken coop has been erected, and a lifestyle block has been envisioned as we turn our sights not toward the future but toward the past, away from the computers we're stuck at for our entire working lives. We have turned to the skills and methods of production that maybe not even our parents practiced, but that certainly our grandparents and great-grandparents would have.
A persistent noise can be a nuisance in any neighborhood, and a crowing rooster and hens can certainly be one of them. But we wouldn't normally expect baking to make that long list of noisy, disruptive activities. That is, unless you have decided to take up actually milling your own flower in the confines of your apartment like this.
While I like to think that, especially in close living conditions, we could all be a little more tolerant of one another, we could also all be a little more considerate. Vibrations and especially low bassy noises travel a long way and through a surprising number of walls and solid objects. In an apartment building or other living situation where there are shared walls, floors, or ceilings
The occasional optimist in me wants to think that perhaps the neighbor it trying to mend a bridge over troubled water here while struggling to come to grips with being vibrated out of her apartment for 10 minutes at a time. Who's in the right here? Who knows, probably no one. But you be the judge.
