When a neighbor with seven kids demanded that I take the next elevator so she could fit in with her double stroller, I refused. She called me an a**hole, but was I in the wrong? I don’t think people should have to make constant accommodations for those with kids, especially when they are rude and demanding. Many people have thanked me for standing up to her, but others have called me unsympathetic. What do you think? Read on to find out more about this encounter and decide for yourself if I am the a**hole.
