I live in an apartment complex and some of us have decorated our balconies for the holidays. I just have a string of twinkle lights wrapped around the railing. I received an email from the leasing office today saying that one of the neighbors who lives across from me would appreciate it if I would remove the lights from my balcony because they don't celebrate Christmas or any other holidays and seeing my lights at night is upsetting them. Is this a reasonable request? Because I'm enraged

Oh and if you need any help taking the decor to the next level DM me, I’m happy to help. I’ve done full Christmas themed rooms for a number of clients but for this level of petty, I’m happy to assist for free.

after reading this email. Should I just take the lights down to keep the peace or should I go out and get a bunch more lights to hang from my balcony, move my Christmas trees to the window facing their apartment, and basically make sure they can't look out their window without seeing pretty Christmas lights everywhere they look? Because I'm feeling pretty petty at the moment

Yes you must do this immediately. I suggest taking the morning off work for this extremely important project.

Take my neighbors route. They put multi colored strobe lights that turn off n on all night.

Christmas decorations are everywhere, so I’m not understanding how your lights are so upsetting. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t add any additional lights, but the suggestion made about putting a timer for them to turn off shows consideration and a willingness to compromise, at least to a degree. Otherwise said neighbor should invest in country living with no neighbors for miles.

Just leave it how it is as long as you’re not violating your lease.

If this isnt a ragebait post, and its true, then you have to put even more and even brighter lights up. Im surprised the office would even say anything -
