Been accussed of smoking cannabis

[FreshFancyFrogglette]

Came back home this morning to a note from my upstairs neighbour saying "if you're smoking cannabis or doing something in neighbourly please stop as you are disrupting our peace".
I wasn't even in last night. I'm quite upset tbh. I work from home, but only stay here if I have my daughter. I have smellt cannabis in the past, coming from the bottom floor, but not for ages. I haven't smoked since my teens (and I'm 31 now).
I know most people will turn around and say "ignore it", but I'm pissed. I'm pissed at the assumption. Pissed at them not having the balls to address me directly. I'm just upset about it. Meant to be working from home today, but I can't stop thinking about it. I'm quite sensitive, but we've actually had pcsos come around knocking on the door about cannabis smoke about a year ago, I assumed that they were doing the whole block. But now I think that I was specifically targeted because upstairs have decided that it's me.
I raised my daughters in these same flats, when we had crack heads in the wash room, who used to shit on the stairs, and nothing got done for years. Now people have decided I smoke weed and I'm being targeted for it. It's just really upset me and I cant stop thinking about it.

Are you sure downstairs didn't get the same note? I'd probably knock, hand back their note and say wrong neighbour.

Why don't you speak to these neighbours and tell them it's not you? You're upset at them not addressing you directly, so go address them.

You're not being targeted. A note was put through your door, that's it.

Tell them it's not you and have done with it.

Do you know which neighbour put it through your door? If so write back stating you weren't even home and it must be another flat. If you don't know then put a note through every door

Don't let it get to you, they are not correct in their assumptions about you, it isn't true so comfort yourself with that.

I have messaged them on Facebook, I'll go up in lunch break when I'm a bit less upset.. I actually saw them yesterday, and they didn't mention it. I asked them after the pcsos turned up if they'd had them, and said I hadn't smelled weed for ages. They looked a bit shifty, but I didn't think anything much of it -(perhaps they were the pot smokers, I thought?!) I don't know, I didn't care too much tbh. But I am upset if it's being implied its me. We've had lots of general letters come around from the housing association, and from the police, but now they've decided its me. I just don't want the hassle.

Ah OK, so the upstairs neighbours I thought it was have denied all knowledge of it. I only have one direct neighbour upstairs. So am super confused about who this could be from?? Why would they assume it was me, if they are not directly above me?! I'm really upset now. I've had a few weird things happen lately, with my number being given out etc. And finding it on an "ex girlfriend" site on the deep Web, where ppl are encouraged to prank it. I don't know if this is connected or not...

Total overreaction. It’s hard sometimes to tell where a smell is from, especially in flats. More than one of you probably got the note and the note said “if you are” not “you are”.

Hopdathelf over reaction from them or me? They've sent the cops out, not that they can do much, but I've also had threatening emails from the housing association, I assumed it was to everyone, but now it's a hand written note, I think they've decided it's me. Which I am upset about.

You say you work from home but only stay there if you have your daughter, this bit has confused me

I work from home, then tend to stay the night at my boyfriends (who I don't live with), unless my daughter is staying with me, in which case I'll stay in my flat.

I’d write on the note.

“Think you got the wrong person. I don’t smoke cannabis and i wasn’t in last night”. Or words to that effect and post it back through the door.

Overreaction from you to receiving a note asking that IF you are smoking drugs you stop. There are no threats, they don’t say it’s definitely you. Notes like this are passed around all the time in flats.

@conchitastrawberry I want to do that, but I'm not sure who it is now! My direct upstairs neighbour said it's not them. And that they haven't smellt anything for ages. Plot thickens! No idea who would've sent it now.

@hopdathelf if this was the first thing that was mentioned about it, then perhaps. But weve had letters from the ha, visits from the cops etc. I've ignored it all, because it's not me. But this was personally addressed to me, and implied that the issue was me. I'm not happy about it.
