Life’s quirks and humorous moments are what make it all the more enchanting.
Life often surprises us with unexpected encounters, and sometimes, these encounters lead to unforgettable stories. In the bustling world of apartment living, one resident found himself embroiled in a peculiar situation that has now become a whimsical tradition. Our protagonist, whom we’ll refer to as OP, was at a crossroads in his life when his girlfriend was about to move in with him. In the midst of handling small repairs and touch-ups, OP found himself confronted by Ms. Headcase, a new neighbor who mistook him for an ISP technician.
Despite OP’s earnest attempts to clarify the confusion, Ms. Headcase demanded he set up her internet immediately, threatening to report him to his company. After calling building management to resolve the situation, OP discovered the root of the problem, a simple mix-up. From that day on, Ms. Headcase intentionally avoided any interaction with OP, leading him and his wife to create a light-hearted tradition of comically greeting her in the parking garage. This tradition has endured for over five years, much to the amusement of Ms. Headcase’s knowing husband. Read the full story below and let the laughter unfold!
The story OP is about to share happened to him in 2013.
OP was about to have his then-girlfriend (now wife) move into his apartment and decided to do some touch-ups and small repairs while between jobs. As he was unloading his car, he noticed a lady from a nearby parking space staring at him but he greeted her politely before proceeding with his work.

About 20 minutes later, someone rings at OP’s door, and the lady from the parking lot demands OP to move his car for her move-in and install her internet access immediately:
OP was taken aback and bewildered by the situation, trying to comprehend the lady’s demands. Despite explaining that he had no connection to her request, she insisted he immediately set up her internet.

OP attempted to reason with the lady, but she threatened him, claiming she would report him to his boss and have him fired if he didn’t comply with her demands to set up her internet immediately.
OP tried to reason with the lady, suggesting he could call the building management to clarify the misunderstanding, but she insisted that he call them immediately as she found the situation unacceptable.
OP called the building management and handed his phone to HC. She complained about him, falsely claiming he was refusing to do his job and loitering in an empty apartment.
HC becomes visibly angry and leaves without saying anything after the building management clarifies the confusion to her and confirms that OP is a resident, not an ISP technician.
OP humorously moved his car to the guest parking area to give HC more space. Since that incident, HC has intentionally avoided eye contact and greetings with OP while OP and his wife now make a lighthearted tradition of greeting her in an overly friendly manner whenever they encounter her.
Embracing the unexpected and finding amusement in the quirks of everyday life can enrich our experiences and create lasting bonds with those around us. As we encounter the Ms. Headcases of the world, let’s remember to approach them with grace, understanding, and a sprinkle of humor, for it is through these small gestures that we can forge connections and make life a little brighter.
OP should invite her over for a dinner sometimes:
Ms. HC complained to the building management again about OP.
In response, OP left a note for her in a plastic bag, inviting her over for tea:
Such entitled women always have husbands who tolerate them:
