i hate being yelled at

[rabidsamfan]

even when I deserve it.

My upstairs neighbor is angry because he's ended up doing most of the maintenance in the building. It's condos, and he's not paid for it, but no one has defined whose job is what.

There are a bunch of boxes in the basement to go out which are mine, and I haven't done it, because I've pretty much felt like hell for the month they've been there. I heard him in the hall and poked my nose out to say that I was confident I'd be able to do it on Monday and he yelled. He doesn't want to talk to me any more.

*sigh*

I wrote him a note, apologizing, but I don't think he'll read it. It's frustrating though. I see his point entirely, but I've just not been in a place where I've cared about the hallway or the basement enough to do anything about them.

Isn't there a condo association? Usually they decide who does what and what the condo dues pay for. I don't blame him for being upset if he has ended up stuck with most of the work and no pay! :( But obviously you have been in no shape to do it yourself.

Meh. He'll get over it. And you'll take care of the basement when ou can. *hugs*

Man, it seems that if he's been upset that he should have let you know before he got to the point of yelling. :-( I hope it gets resolved soon! *hugs*

He may be right in one sense, but you've had good reason not to do it and he ought to calm down long enough to understand that. Small condos are the very worst for this sort of conflict.

He could have told you earlier before yelling.

I hope he'll get over it soon.

You know, really, even if you do think that you are to blame for not dealing with your boxes, he still shouldn't have yelled.

I'm sorry, but it's just rude; I don't care how angry a person is at someone. He owes you an apology.

*bristles on your behalf*

*whispers* What's a condo?

And I'm sorry you got yelled at, I usually feel the same way when it happens to me.

Try to get some help; of course you weren't able to do anything about those boxes; you had some other problems, hadn't you?

Well, gee whiz, RSF, you shoulda moved those boxes despite the fact you've had a major medical crisis! (glowers at fussbudget tenant) You don't owe him an apology, he owes YOU one for being such an insensitive jerk. But that's just MHO because I don't like to see any friend picked on. ((hugs))

Well, he has no reason to get upset if it's not anybody's job to do it... no one told HIM to go do the maintenance! And really, he should be more sensitive to your health issues, since you said he knew what was going on.

It's a basement... he's getting way too upset about a BASEMENT, for goodness' sakes.
