AITA for barging into an office and telling them to make stop their f**king kid from opening our office door?
A frustrated employee in a shared office building confronted another office after repeatedly dealing with a disruptive child slamming their door daily. They angrily yelled at the child and then entered the neighboring office, demanding that the child’s parent stop letting him disturb their workspace.
They followed up with a complaint to building management, but now they’re the center of attention for their reaction and are questioning if they were in the wrong. read the original story below…
‘ AITA for barging into an office and telling them to make stop their f**king kid from opening our office door?’
So I work in an office building with different offices on each floor. Every afternoon one of the lady’s in a different office brings her kid and allow him to run up and down the halls constantly opening and closing our door. Yesterday I f**king had enough.
I opened the door just as he slammed it and I yelled at him to stop f**king opening and closing our door. I then barged into their office and told them I didn’t know whose f**king kid that was but they better make him stop opening and closing our f**king door. I then filed a complaint with building management.
This morning apparently I’m the talk of their office. “That’s her… that’s the lady….” Yes it’s f**king me and maybe if you weren’t such a useless f**k of a parent maybe your b**ch ass kid wouldn’t have gotten yelled at.
This kid is at least 7 or 8 and should at least be taught some f**king common courtesy. I work in a law office while they’re nothing but f**king telemarketers.
Here’s the comments of Reddit users:
marbel − Um—I grew up having to spend the day in my dad’s office sometimes (he’s a dentist, but same type of deal). In no way were we to act feral. We were allowed to bring homework, do office chores, help out, and be polite to patients. Maybe in the 80s we were allowed to stuff bills. Otherwise we were SOL. What the hell, no one is raising their freaking kids anymore.
Key_Apartment1929 − NTA. Kids have no business in a law office unless they’re relevant to a case. Parents like that need to learn a lesson.
I_ship_it07 − You will never be anything but NTA. How was it even allowed?! You did what everybody didn’t dare to do and many must thank you
Esmer_Tina − The only reason you would be TA is because you let this go unaddressed until you reached the boiling point.
LadyA052 − I worked in a large corporate building years ago and one of the directors would bring in her daughter who was about 7. We had bathrooms with multiple stalls, and when this little darling came in to use the bathroom,
she’d pull a handle, and if it was locked (someone using it) she would drop to the floor and climb underneath the door. We could periodically hear screaming from the bathroom and we always knew what was happening. The mother didn’t care at all.
PFic88 − NTA people need to step up and f**king parent their kid
TheLastWord63 − NTA. If they were going to bring the kid with them, they should have kept them in their own office and not let them run around to other people’s offices. Most likely, they didn’t want the child disturbing them in their office, so they let them go out and do whatever to other people at their work.
Dark54g − NTA. Next time, present the Mom with a legal bill for interruption of service.
MCRemix − NTA 100% But as a former lawyer….I’m not sure that lawyers are actually much better than telemarketers, so that last line doesn’t land for me lol….
saveyboy − ESH. Your reaction while understandable was over the top. You could have easily told them off professionally but chose not to. Now you look like an unprofessional crazy person.
Did the employee handle it poorly, or was it a justified reaction? What’s your take? Share your thoughts below!
