Neighbors pride themselves on protecting their community, but some people take the role a little too seriously.

One woman visiting her parents’ retirement neighborhood was caught off guard when a resident aggressively confronted her for “not being 55.”

The catch? She was 54 and 11 months!

You’ll want to keep reading for this one.

55+ community

My parents sold their home and moved into a 55+ manufactured home community.

This woman was happy her parents had landed in such a great spot.

Great community: indoor pool, gym, library, 150+ community rec room with industrial kitchen, etc.

My mom was showing me around and opened the door to the gym.

The gym is actually quite large; I was impressed (but considering they have an indoor pool, I should not have been).

Her parents were just starting to get adjusted.

One person was in the huge room full of equipment— a lady was on the rowing machine.

Mom commented to me, “Oh, I’d like to make friends with her.”

Mom likes to do things like that; for a 74-year-old, it’s hard to find others who enjoy the same workout.

That’s it.

It was then she realized the neighbors at this community weren’t the friendliest people ever.

Walking out to get my dad from the library, she confronted us.

“This is a 55+ community only, you have to leave! Now!!”

Mom told her she was just showing me, her daughter, around her new neighborhood.

We were not using the facilities.

That small fact didn’t seem to matter to this lady.

The lady rudely said, “I don’t care, she does not belong here, get out,” as she pushed me out the door physically.

I’m like what the heck??

Mom’s a pleaser, so she asked me to wait outside while she got my 80-year-old dad from the library.

The best part?

I was 54 and 11 months.

Some people take their jobs a little too seriously.

What did Reddit have to say?

This commenter agrees this lady overreacted big time.

Who knew senior living communities were so exclusive?

This commenter knows firsthand just how dramatic these communities can be.

Some communities are a lot more lax with their age requirements.

If this is how the residents treated their neighbors, then it doesn’t sound like somewhere anyone would want to live.

Turns out, not everyone mellows with age.
