I live in a condo where there are several amenities. Some of them (like party rooms and movie rooms) require a reservation but are not locked so it’s common to see people there when no one has it booked.
Yesterday was a family members birthday and we booked one of the party rooms. Due to summer this amenities are very busy and we need to book it weeks in advance. We even put a sign on the door saying there was a private event going on (this is common so people that like to hang out on the places when there is no reservation know they should look for some other place).
At some point a lady enters the room with a few beers, opens the fridge and starts putting her stuff in there. We had the fridge full of food, deserts, beverages, so it was annoying to have someone we don’t know just entering and going through our stuff. Then I, as the host, went to talk to her:
Excuse me?
Yes?
What are you doing?
I am putting beverages in the fridge. 🤡
I can see that but can’t you see we are hosting a private event here?
So?
So you can’t just enter here like that.
Why not?
I just told you we are having a private event. There is even a sign at the entrance.
But the fridge is public. Everyone can use it.
When there is no reservation, maybe, which is not the case right now.
You are telling me I can’t use the fridge?
Right now no, you can’t. At least not like that.
So I can’t use the fridge?
As I just explained to you, when there is a reservation going on like right now, no, you can’t.
You are REALLY telling me I can’t use the fridge? (here I got tired of her attitude)
Yes, I am telling you that you CAN NOT use it. Is it clear now?
Then she got her stuff and left.
After a while another lady came over and asked to talk to me.
Hey what happened? Why did you kick my friend out?
I just explained to her that there was a private event going on.
And what is the problem? Everybody shares the fridge.
The problem is I we need to book this place in advance, before you can start security comes in and makes an inspection and I also need to leave a CAD 500.00 cheque with property manager as a guarantee for any damage, so I think its fair for me to just want my guests to be using this area during the time I reserved it for. Also, we are having a familly gathering so having people we don’t know wandering around the room, and going through our stuff is not something I want to happen.
Then she apologized and left but her attitude showed she thought I was being a petty AH. So AITA?
