Attention Seeking or am I wrong?

[MollECoddle]

I bought a holiday home last year and regretted it as soon as I arrived and met the others. It was sold as a quiet family run park with everyone being friendly and welcoming.... WRONG. Its only quiet for 3 months a year, the others are selfish, entitled and insular, glaring at new people and treating them with suspicion. There are stacks of rules so to avoid wrong doing I asked on the WhatsApp group who to go to for window repairs, and someone provided the name of the secretary in the office. So jokingly I replied, she does window repairs too, what a busy lady, laughing emoji. Anyway, she's read my reply and gone ballistic saying to someone else who answered, apparently I'm such a busy lady I can't do my job. She then went on to block me from the group, send me a rude message and is throwing all kinds of tantrums. I know no way said that she can't do her job, what should I do?

Give her a big bunch of flowers, nice ones, not from a supermarket. Apologise as sincerely and effusively as you can manage. You'll have to take the blame, although tbh she sounds batshit.

What's she apologising for?

It was quite clearly a light hearted comment.

OP should consider apologising for upsetting this woman. Even though she didn't do it on purpose and the woman is clearly way too sensitive. Because making peace is the only way OP will ever get to enjoy this holiday home. Even if she is, as I totally agree, in the right here.

Sometimes things come across badly in text/messaging. I would speak to her in person and say that your sorry your comment upset her and that you in no way meant she's not good at her job. In the longer term, I'd look at selling your holiday home if the people there aren't friendly and welcoming.

OMG these holiday parks are like a secret society, we once took a motorhome to one and all the ‘owners’ were so rude because we had rented a pitch and didn’t own it. They were so insular and cliquey that we left 2 days early. Not sure how you get ‘in the gang’ when you’ve actually bought your accommodation, I think they make a sport out of picking on newcomers and tourists. I’ll never go to another one.

Of course she’s overreacted. What you said wasn’t that bad, but tbh, you don’t know these people well enough to make this kind of joke.
Also did you realise the secretary was in the group?

OP is presumably a customer, why on earth should she apologise to this ridiculous woman. I’d be looking to get advice if the reality is so different from what was promised at the time of sale

Sell the holiday home and chalk this one up to experience. Sounds like an awful place to spend your time.

It was a bit of an arsey reply that you sent when she gave a valid response to your question. I would think the secretary would be the best person to contact about repairs too.
