A little kindness between neighbors can make apartment living feel much more welcoming.
In this story, a woman moved into a new apartment and received a loud doorbell from her neighbor on the second day of living there.
She went down and saw her 91-year-old neighbor standing in front of her Amazon packages.
Although she didn’t really want to be disturbed, she appreciated his kind gesture.
Aww… that was really sweet! Check out the full details below.
Our 91 year old neighbor…
The guy that lives below us rang our doorbell.
This was very loud due to us being on the second floor coming through an intercom.
They did this on the second day we moved in.
We didn’t know who it was, so we went down, opened the door, and he’s standing there in front of our Amazon packages.
This woman told her neighbor they don’t mind him ringing their doorbell.
We have a specific instruction that says, “Please don’t ring doorbell. Thank you.”
Because sometimes it makes our Mountain Cur do her very loud hound bellow.
He asks, “Do you guys mind me ringing your doorbell if I see your packages out here?
I just want to make sure you guys know they’re here!”
We of course respond with, “Oh my gosh, no, we don’t mind at all! Thank you so very much. That is really kind of you!”
She believes his intentions were pure.
Obviously, it’s not always the best hearing it at 5:00 am.
But we know the intentions are incredibly pure.
He is such a nice gentleman, and we are honored to live above him. 🥹❤️
Just wanted to share this story because not all apartment living is horrible! Lol.
She also reminds everyone to be kind to elderly neighbors.
Also, if you live next to, under, above, or near someone elderly, it is always nice to offer a hand if you can.
We told him when we first moved in to please call us or ring our doorbell if he ever needs anything.
And we will help if we are available!
We have to take care of each other. 🫶
This is the kind of neighbor that makes apartment living feel nice and comfortable.
OP knew right away that her neighbor’s approach was unusual, but he clearly meant well.
