I have opened a business that is in a complex of shops like a small arcade, there is a beauty business upstairs and a clothes shop, the clothes shop previously occupied the space we have rented, when we took out the lease the shop upstairs was given permission from the land lord to place a large sign for her shop on my window.
I said this would be fine for a few days and I then returned it too her as I was painting facias etc. The sign reappeared no more than five or six times after, even after I has asked another member of staff to keep it, this came to a head last Saturday when my hubby returned it and told her in a firm manner (not shouting I was there) not to place it back. Then she told us we where the reason she was quiet as while we have been doing the shop fit, she the moved the sign which kept falling off so I asked for more fixings so it would keep up. She scowled and stomped around while she put it back up.
Since then she moaned to the land lord who seems to think that we should appologise etc (so theres no tension), making us look bad. She has given us attitude all week too.
Tbh I dont need the stress, would you applogise even when you feel you dont have too just to keep the peace, or ignore her as I dont need To deal with her day to day.
