One of my neighbours is a young married couple moved in I think 2-3 years ago. He seems ok, but she has some real issues. She is probably in her mid-20s. She made a huge fuss because my (then) 7yo son stepped on her doormat. The doormat was in the common corridor space (only later she moved to her d...
