1. Let’s find out!

2. To satisfy her drinking needs, OP grabs a 24-pack of beer every time he goes grocery shopping.

3. One time when OP was walking upstairs while holding her pack of beer, she got stopped by a neighbor who straight up told her she should not be drinking.

4. OP simply told her it was none of her business.

5. OP’s response hurt the neighbor so much she was left speechless with that shocked Pikachu meme reflecting on her face. She could do nothing but quietly walk away.

6. OP’s partner and sister thought she did wrong and should apologize to the neighbor.

7. OP asked if she wrong for apparently being rude to the neighbor and should she apologize to the neighbor.

I hate people who poke their noses into other people’s business. Entitlement is so toxic, it has infected so many people on our planet and this neighbor is one of those people. Like OP was just minding her business and had nothing to do with that woman but she still had to trip OP. But I am so glad OP stood her ground and swiftly showed the neighbor her way.

NTA.
