Yep, and then pull a "cornerstone Caroline" on him.

You'd roll over for someone asking why you're entering her building?

Who the H is she that you think it would be appropriate to show her your ID? I wouldn't want her to know what unit I was in. She's nuts.

This gent responded far more politely than I would've. I'd tell the old bag to go copulate with herself and pushed past her (after having keyed in).

That said, I don't understand people who wish ill will on her. Her employer was certainly well within their right to fire her, and I sure as hell wouldn't hire her, but let her accept whatever reasonable consequences she faces and then move on in peace.

And if I don't recognize someone behind me, I just don't hold the door open behind me and open it minimally so it quickly closes behind me. There was one lady (Indian, if it matters) who got frustrated and said something about how "snobby" the people here are. I apologised and fibbed, saying that the last time I held the door open behind me for someone who didn't key in, I got a nasty letter from the manager. She was surprised by how strict the rules were, but by the time we were in the elevator, she was fussing over my dog lol.

Ease up on the porn there, bud. In real life, that would result less in "The Naughty GILF Next Door" and more in false claims of sexual harassment.

You're not making any sense.



Yes you're behind on the technology.


She's standing blocking his way at the doorway.
What don't you understand?
He said he already buzzed himself in and she was blocking his way yet he was still "on the street".

If I go up to my communal door (I do this everyday BTW) and buzz myself in I can either...

A. Proceed to go in clearing the way for others

B. Stand there with the communal door remaining unlocked but obstructing any other person who may want to enter

C. Stand there and allow my buzz in to expire resulting in the door re-locking while remaining as a human obstruction for others

This is why his story makes no sense. He claims he already buzzed himself in but was still on the exterior of the communal door. How is it possible that she buzzed herself in at this point? Unless he's a hologram and she walked thru him to get to the buzzer and he then shape-shifted back to a regular human.

The answer is obvious: he's lying.

He tried to piggyback on her opening and she didn't want to do it. Since both participants are morons it escalated to what we have now.

Luckily the guy had a camera. She got fired. He dude got in. Move along.
I’m not defending her at all. This 24 year old has to learn life is full of interactions with all kinds of folks. The way he handled it...not cool for a man.

It’s not illegal in any way to proposition someone for sex as long as you are respectful..yet anyway.

I totally agree--a white woman in a grocery store had a black 9-year-old boy's backpack bump her in the store and she accused him of groping her.

With all the boo-hoo poor-us-white-guys victims, it is much much worse for a black males. I would have automatically started videotaping as well in that situation. It's really the only way to tell if people are lying these days, now that lying is so acceptable, with alternative facts and all.

I see both sides here. I have lived in a few buildings with a keypad entry, and we were told, by the landlord, never to let anyone in on our opening of the front door. If someone wanted in, they would have to buzz themselves in. If she had not questioned, and something did happen, everyone would be calling her an idiot for allowing someone in that she didn't know.

I can also understand the frustration of a resident who lives there being harassed about coming in the door to the building he lives in. And even when she saw him open his own door to his apartment, she still kept on him.

This incident didn't even need to be an incident. If someone told me I had to buzz myself in, despite how annoying it would have been to have someone assume I was trying something, I would have just let the door close and buzz myself in. It would have taken far less time for him to do that. I also would not have gone to social media to complain about it.

The keypad is there for a reason.

Another one who didn’t watch the video. Refrain from posting when you don’t know what you’re talking about.
