It’s okay to have teenagers as neighbors but sometimes these young souls take it a little too far!

The worst part? They don’t accept their mistake!

Find out how this girl’s teenage neighbors made her work life miserable.

AITA for Asking Neighbors to Hang Out Elsewhere

So, I live in a small apartment complex. My nearest neighbors are a group of college students. Nothing wrong with that.

I don’t know them well but we’re always polite to each other. This problem has only arisen recently.

They started creating a lot of noise…

For some reason, this group (and some additional friends) have decided to start hanging out in the hallway outside of my apartment.

Literally just hanging out and talking. Things they could do in their own space.

I work from home, and this has been a nightmare in meetings. I can hear them in the hallway, as can my coworkers.

She was okay with it…

They’re college kids, so some of their discussion isn’t exactly office appropriate.

Nothing wrong with that, I’m not a prude, it’s just not workplace talk.

Yesterday I got especially fed up after they were especially loud during an important meeting with my supervisor.

I went into the hallway and just politely asked them if they could please hang out somewhere else.

I explained my WFH situation and told them that I could hear them.

Things did not go well.

They took it poorly.

They started telling me that they live here too and can hang out wherever they want in the building.

One of the friends (not a resident) called me mean and told me to soundproof better.

One of them implied that WFH isn’t a “real job,” which is rich considering that none of them work during summers.

Their parents foot the bill.

However, her mother surprised her.

I feel like I was justified, but surprisingly my mom agreed with the neighbors.

She insists that they live there too and have a right to the hallway.

So, AITA? I’m at my wit’s end.

Yikes! You don’t want to mess with teenagers these days!

But is the mother right about this situation?

Yikes! That’s a lot of negative comments for the kids. They clearly need to start using the space they actually paid for!
