Okay, I have to write this post right now or I won't be able to sleep...you don't have to read it. When we were looking for apartments in September we met the assistant manager here who we'll call M.L. She showed us around, she was a Michigan native, she was super friendly, and her service was part of the reason we chose to live here. She was really great in helping us get set to come out here and even came in on her day off to get us moved in on the day we arrived in Phoenix.
So, our papers are signed, she's going to take us over to the aparment and she keeps saying, "let's meet the dogs!" Now any of you who have ever "met" our dogs for the first time would understand why we were a little nervous...not to mention, she had her 2 year old daughter with her. So we try to hurry the dogs over to the apartment and get them locked safely away inside. She lets us unlock our door and we walk in...meanwhile she's standing outside. Everyone is sort of talking at once and she says something that sounds to me like we're all set - and considering it was her day off and I felt bad that she had to work anyway, I thought she was trying to make her exit. So I say, "Okay! So we're all set?" And she gives me this look like I'm being rude and says, "Yeah...enjoy your new place." I immediately feel as though I've made a mistake and thank her over and over for all her help, but she kind of hurries away. Other encounters with her since then have been curt and markedly less friendly than before that day.
Tonight, there is a knock at our door. After we stick the dogs in our room Dave answers the door. It's M.L. and she's pissed (she lives here too). She asks about a red pick up truck, Dan comes to the door and she barks, "Can you move your truck? You're in my spot." It seems he mistakenly parked in a reserved spot that was right next to an open/free spot. He apologized profusely and apparently she blatantly ignored him and went running into her apartment. I knew she was pissed about that first day!
Here's the real question...why do I even care?!?! I don't really know this person well, I didn't do anything wrong, and if she's pissy, it's because she's a petty person. I mean seriously, what kind of person gets jilted so easily? And what kind of person is so rude when someone is obviously apologetic about an honest mistake. I keep telling myself that she must lead a sad life, but I still can't stop thinking about it! How sad am I that I'm going to lay awake tonight thinking about this? Arrrggghhhhh! I hate myself!

build her a cake.
Yep, sounds like me. I am very adept and turning people off and not even knowing how or when I did it- only to fret and ponder it forever. I have a whole list and with each new person I must add to the list, I remember all the others on that list... I am some sort of antisocial wack job apparently.
Seems to me if you hadn't stumbled upon that side of her that day- it would have been soon after anyway. Keep your chin up. There are lots of sharks in the sea.
ah, you're probably right. She is probably a lonely person who loves the fresh meats in the apartments so she can suck the life out of them... You actually probably did yourself a huge favor in not meaning to shove her off so quickly... now she'll just hate you and you won't have to worry about being bothered/annoyed too much.
I get pissed when people park in my spot at my apartment and at school oh yeah and at work but i would never go up to some one and tell them to get out of it. I dont pay for these spots I just like to have them.
it's b/c we're cursed to be people pleasers
and she's probably horny and wanted to meet Dan but doesn't know how to approach men anymore since her horrible break up with her baby daddy.
so she hates you b/c you live with two men and have a well respected job and she's just a leasing agent who tries to make friends with new leasee's b/c they are forced to interact with her.
at least that is what i think.
Oh Teresa...I'm so glad you've come into our lives...I think that's the best advice/sympathy I've ever received!
