What’s funny is how fast the story mutates once it leaves the original witness’s mouth. A perfectly boring, explainable noise turns into “ongoing disturbance,” which turns into “escalating pattern of behavior,” which turns into a landlord firing off a warning email like they just cracked a cold case. Nobody asked how long it actually lasted. Nobody asked if it happened before. The complaint arrived, and suddenly it’s treated like gospel, no cross-examination required.
