Woman Falls after Snooping Neighbor Gets Spooked by My Dog’s Bark

What would you do if you caught someone lurking around your apartment? My neighbor has been up to my landing several times, asking about my non-existent ‘aggressive’ dog. Today, I caught her bending down in front of my door and decided to open it while my dog was barking loudly. She got spooked and fell over, and now I’m being called an a**hole. Was I in the wrong or was she snooping where she shouldn’t have been?

Living alone in a pet-friendly building can have its ups and downs. For one woman, her dog’s barks provided a sense of security and even scared off unwanted lurkers. However, one neighbor seemed to be obsessed with the idea of her having a second, aggressive dog – despite being told numerous times that she only had one. The situation escalated when the neighbor was caught once again lurking on her landing and got spooked by the dog’s barking, causing her to fall. While the woman offered to help her, she was met with insults and profanity. Was she wrong for scaring her neighbor or was it simply a case of karma? Let’s take a look at what Reddit users had to say in the comments and reactions below.
