AITA For Waking Up The Neighbors For Possible Gas Leak?

I live in a triplex, and tonight I smelled gas in my bedroom at 12:30 a.m.

I know this is very late, but everyone that lives here has small children.

I went and knocked on everyone’s door and was able to talk to my upstairs neighbor to have them check.

But their neighbor wasn’t appreciative at all.

I understand it’s late, but my neighbor got angry and slammed the door in my face, saying they didn’t smell any gas.

When I went back to my apartment, the smell was even more noticeable.

I tried to contact the landlord because I was seriously concerned.

This isn’t how to treat someone who’s only looking out for your safety…
