Often times situations can escalate more than we expect them to and even the most mundane activity can cause a huge drama for no reason.

This guy had to deal with his new neighbors only because he was washing his underwear in a shared laundry room.

Check out how cops got involved in the entire ordeal!

AITA for calling the police on a neighbor who destroyed my laundry?

I’m the new guy in an apartment, and I was doing laundry in a shared laundry room.

This old woman called me a per***t because I was washing my underwear in a shared washing machine.

That must be shocking for him!

I had never heard of this before and she continued to mumble to herself.

Then before I walk away she poor bleach into my clothes. My work clothes and everything.

This lady is going to have some trouble.

I have to dress business casual for work so it would cost me money. I now have to freaking replace them.

I call the police on the lady for destroying my clothes as she continues to yell per***t at me.

They come and say she’s in some sort of mental distress and are familiar with her and she leaves in an ambulance.

It did sound like something was off.

I contacted the landlord, who said he would replace my clothes and I thought that was that until a woman confronted me for calling the cops on her mom and she was placed on a 72 hour hold.

She tries explaining that her mom has issues and everyone else understands.

I said it’s not my Circus so not my monkeys.

The daughter kept convincing..

The daughter kept trying to talk to me and I told her to go away before I called the police on her as well.

I contacted the landlord and I want out of my lease and I’m not living next to to crazy bats.

He does feel guilty but isn’t sure what to do..

I feel bad because I have only been there less than two weeks but this is more than I signed up for and some of the neighbors are being crappy to me about what went down with the old lady and her daughter.

The lady was clearly wrong, nut was his reaction justified?

Let’s see what the Reddit community had to say about this.

This person thinks the daughter is fully responsible for the situation.

This person supports the man and claims that he didn’t know what the old lady’s situation was.

This person knows that the daughter is being unreasonable.

This person is also against the request of the daughter.

This person says that the neighbor’s problems are not this guy’s to deal with.

It makes sense that this guy was unaware of the condition of the woman called the cops on her.

This guy seemed to have handled the situation well enough.
