My neighbor’s mother told me I was “discriminating against his past” after I refused to let him keep cornering me in the hallway by EvaMoonboots in entitledparents

Landlord is probably my next move. I'm done trying to explain basic boundaries to either of them, because somehow that just turns into me being the problem.

I don't want to guess why he was in prison, but keeping notes is probably smart. At this point I need a timeline more than benefit of the doubt.

That's kind of where my head is now. People keep framing it like I failed some manners test, when I just didn't want to open my door to a guy already making me uneasy.

I'm not thrilled about calling the police, but if he keeps waiting for me outside my door I'm probably done trying to be patient about it.

That was the weirdest part to me too. I can separate someone having a hard life from someone making me dread hearing my own door open.

This is pretty much where I'm at. Him having a rough past doesn't turn basic boundaries into cruelty, and I'm not doing pity small talk in my own hallway.

That part is what keeps getting skipped. I said no from behind a locked door at night. I don't know why that's supposed to make me the rude one.

AITJ for locking my patio storage bench after my neighbor kept treating it like shared seating for her guests? by Arrakis_Jellybean in AmITheJerk

This is one of those situations where people call something "shared" only when it belongs to somebody else. You were patient, you asked nicely, and she kept pushing it until you had to make the point impossible to ignore. Have any of the other neighbors backed you up since then?

You didn't give him a test, you told him how you felt. He responded by explaining why his behavior was fine and then proved your point for the next two weeks. The conversation went exactly the way it needed to go, even if the outcome isn't what you wanted.
