If you want something from another person or want to utilize the services of a resource they have, you always have to ask for their permission first. If they say “yes”, then you can go ahead and enjoy yourself but if they say “no”, their decision has to be respected and you should quietly walk your way back home. There is no third situation here where you can simply invite yourself and do what you want to do with the resource of another person without them having any notice of it. In case of property, this can come under trespassing and you may be on your way to jail in no time.
In today’s story, we get to see the third situation take place. Reddit user u/hippajibba shared she has a nice big house with a pool in it which comes in really handy when the days are hot, and they mostly are hot. One day while she was working from home and her husband was at the office, OP heard some noise coming from her yard. When she went to investigate she found out that her neighbor, a single mother of three, was in her pool having the time of her life along with her three kids. When OP asked them to leave the pool, she refused.
Find out how OP made this entitled neighbor leave her pool and do let us know if you think OP was in the wrong for doing so or not. Scroll down below to read the story!

1. I have a lot of questions so let’s jump in.
2. OP lives in a nice house with her husband. They also have a pool that comes in really handy in summer.
3. Their neighbor is a single mom of three kids. OP specifically shared that the neighbor’s house didn’t have a pool.
4. One day while working from home, OP heard noises coming from the yard.
5. When OP went out to check, she saw the single mom neighbor along with her three kids in the pool having a great time.
6. When OP asked her what was going on she said she wanted to spend quality time with her children on her day off.
7. When OP asked her to leave, the neighbor demanded OP give a justification for why she and her kids should leave the pool.
Is this single mom being serious? She is demanding justification from the pool owner herself on why she and her kids should leave the pool. Sorry, ma’am. This is not a public facility. You are on another person’s private property and have invited yourself which comes under trespassing. OP calling the police on you will be a valid option she could go for.
Just look at what entitlement makes people do. Let’s see what OP had to resort to in order to get that woman out of her pool. Scroll down below to continue reading.

8. OP stripped her of her entitlement by telling her she would call the police. This made the woman exit the pool.
9. It is scary the way this neighbor entered OP’s house.
10. The neighbor had since been defaming OP in the neighborhood.
11. OP’s husband and father supported her but her mom took the neighbor’s side. So OP took the matter to the AITA community.

Here’s what the internet had to say about this:
12. Just addressing the elephant in the room…haha…but it is okay.
13. They didn’t even ask. They trespassed and started enjoying themselves in your pool. You could’ve had them jailed.
