Now, this is already a red flag.
Anyone who is a self-proclaimed “watchdog” of a community isn't looking out for everyone's best interests; they're looking for the authority to squeal on anyone who doesn't align with their ideals. This shower monitor was no different, and what started as a minor grimace in the hallway and a rare snide comment turned into a controversy that the building would never forget.

Once the blatant tampering began, the passive-aggressive showdown started. Tenants who mess with their neighbor's things, even if it's a shared resource, should be reminded that they're crossing the line (sometimes even the property line). In many cases, tenants are left to fend for themselves and squabble without a referee present, but this clever tenant decided that there was one voice that could not be ignored in this argument.
The landlord, usually regarded as the unvanquishable foe in every story, turned out to be this tenant's hero.
