In today’s story, a mom answers the door to see a neighbor she doesn’t really know claiming to be locked out of her home.

The neighbor wants to come inside, and that’s when the conflict between neighbors begins.

Let’s see how the story plays out…

My entitled neighbor wanted to join us for dinner

My husband wasn’t home and it was just me with my 2 children and my cousin who was visiting.

It was raining out and my neighbor rang the doorbell.

Let’s call her Elaine.

OP let Elaine wait in the entryway.

She said she was locked out of her house and needed to wait for her husband.

I don’t know this neighbor very well.

We recently purchased our home.

I said she was free to wait in the entryway of our home. It has a bench and she could play with her phone.

Elaine tried to invite herself for dinner.

She asked if she could join us for dinner.

I said I don’t know her very well and my husband isn’t home.

She said she doesn’t mind???

I said but I mind because it’s a safety issue.

Elaine didn’t seem to get it.

She she feels safe and I shouldn’t worry.

I said I don’t feel safe.

She got quiet for 30 seconds and said she is an occupational therapist and a Healthcare professional so we should feel fine.

I said no.

She can wait in the hall or leave.

I’ll bring her a bowl of food.

She was still there 3 hours later and got revenge.

She was on the phone for 3 hours and yelling saying how we were horrible people for not letting her in.

She poured the bowl of soup I gave her into my kids shoes in the shoe rack opposite the bench she was sitting on in the hallway.

I can’t believe she thought she was entitled to come inside a strangers home.

It really was a lot to invite herself in for dinner when she doesn’t even know this family.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted…
