Not my note.

It's so easy to rip people down. Pump someone's tires. It means way more than you can imagine.

On the opposite end of this, I got this message taped to my apartment door after my mom, who was helping me when I had inflamed back muscles, accidentally grabbed some of a female neighbour's clothes from the laundry room (my mom thought it was my girlfriend's stuff):

"GIVE BACK THE CLOTHES OR I'LL CALL THE COPS AND REPORT SEXUAL ASSAULT!! I SAW YOU IN THE HALLWAY SO I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU'RE DISGUSTING AND TWISTED. Leave them in the washing room, folded and in separate piles so I can wash or throw them away without needing to touch them too much, I don't even want to think about what you want to do with them. You have 15 minutes to do as asked or I'LL CALL THE COPS"

I'd never felt so misjudged in my whole life and learned that I've got an absolutely nuts neighbour. My mom did as she asked and left a response letter explaining what happened, and added that the cops would pretty surely see her as the bad actor in this, as that's the truth, if she calls them and they talk to us all. The day after, our landlord called me and said she had reported me, and after I explained the situation he sighed and said this isn't the first time she had reported stuff like this and that he would put his foot down and tell her to get her shit together or be evicted, he obviously wouldn't say too much but she had been a problem in many ways for years.
