This neighbor in my apartment keeps getting in my face and is super passive aggressive. I'm afraid I might lose it one day and punch him in the face.

How would you guys handle a situation like this? Serious question here.

Getting in your face of over what? Phrasing it that way makes it seem more straight up aggressive than passive aggressive tbh.

I would completely ignore him or her. Literally walk right past them everyday without acknowledging their existence. They’re your neighbor not your landlord. Even then you have your rights as a tenant in NYC.

Could you give us some additional context here?

You gotta know how to deal with people - never lose your cool, never engage in an argument with a hot tempered individual. All you have to do is listen to them and tell them you understand. You have to do the opposite of your intuition. Odds are they are just going through a tough time and if you are even keeled, they will eventually feel bad and possibly even apologize. Never escalate the situation, you don't want to always feel awkward around them. We all have to live amongst a variety of crazy personalities. If you can just remain cool and be cordial and understanding even though it seems counter intuitive, you will control the situation in the end. Same goes for any type of interaction with humans.

My complex has an 80% carpet rule that he’s not following (I literally saw nothing but hardwood floor in his place when he opened his door).
