A Neighbor Tried to Steal My Power—His Next Demand Left Me Speechless

Now I’m hearing he’s been telling other neighbors that I’m being tight. That I’m making a fuss over “a bit of electricity.”

But I can’t shake the feeling that this isn’t about money at all. It’s about boundaries. Respect. And the fact he thinks he can steamroll right over mine.

Have I really gone too far by locking my own socket—or is he just unbelievably, outrageously rude?
