[quote=Anonymous]I just moved into a new condo off Connecticut Ave. Most of my neighbors are on the old side. When we were still looking, it seemed friendly enough. However, almost every day someone does/says something weirdly nasty. For example, as I pushed my stroller into the lobby, I had to ask a lady to move a bit. I smiled and explained that there was no other way to enter the building. She moved about a quarter of an inch. I said again, I think I need a bit more room. She rolled her eyes and ignored me. I pushed the stroller inside, and of course, ran over her foot. I apologized, but pointed out that I HAD asked her to move and there was no other way for me to get inside. Keep in mind she wasnt sitting on a bench or anything, but leaning on a wall, blocking the entrance. She just rolled her eyes again and ignored me. This other woman called me a Shithead for using the last communal washer (uh how was I supposed to know she had laundry to do?). I offered to stop my load so she could put hers in (i don't know why I offered, I guess I was trying to be nice since I just moved in). She just said I needed to get manners and waddled out. Um okay. My next door neighbor was wheeling in some stuff down the hall. I stupidly moved aside directly in front of her (it was 7:30am on a Sunday, pre-coffee). She snapped at me "it's a HELL of a lot easier for you to move than me!!!!!!". I immediately apologized with a smile and said "sorry brain not working!". She just sighed loudly and rolled her eyes. Yesterday as I wheeled my son in my apartment a woman walking down the hall glared at him for babbling. He wasnt crying, just making baby sounds. Keep in mind it was 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon and he wasnt loud. I smiled at her and said hello, but she just rolled her eyes and huffed off.

Is this normal?  I have no idea what could have caused these people to act like this. The only thing I can think of is that these are older white ladies an I'm a young Central American woman with a baby (my blond husband is ignored but he spends most of his time working anyway). Could that really be it?  Or do they act like jerks to everyone?[/quote]
