Yesterday, as we both returned to our respective abodes at the same time, she gave me the bird in an aggressive fashion for no immediate reason … I would like to take some minor action to nip things in the bud such as write to the Strata Manager, the Chairman, the Secretary or something. I would appreciate any suggestion about what I might do.
This would come under unacceptable behaviour on common property and you could ask the EC to issue a Notice To Comply … but only if there were witnesses to back you up. Otherwise it’s just your word against hers.
You could raise a motion at the EC to the effect that residents are reminded that the by-laws forbid offensive behaviour on Common Property. Or you could confront her in front of witnesses and ask her what exactly the gesture meant as you have never seen it before.
Or you could let it go … fret over it and she has won.
With that in mind, I offer you the three pieces of wisdom by which I try to live these days.
1. Sit by the river long enough and the bodies of your enemies will float past.
2. If you go seeking revenge, remember to dig two graves.
3. Never do anything from short-term anger that will cause long-term pain.
