"The dog runs and keeps me awake" complaint filed by neighbor
Afterwards, rooftop blocked off and thumbtacks scattered
A story has emerged about a neighbor who scattered thumbtacks on the rooftop accessed by residents, all because they were "being noisy."
On the 24th episode of JTBC's 'Case Captain,' this story was introduced. Informant A, who revealed that they live in a row house in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province, began by saying, "I have been visiting the rooftop daily with my pet dog for the past year." According to A, the rooftop is a freely accessible area where residents grill meat and enjoy short walks with their pets.
However, recently, A heard from the building manager that "a resident living on the floor below the rooftop works at night and sleeps in the morning, but the dog running around is disturbing their sleep." Afterward, A explained, "I put a leash on my dog to prevent it from running."
Then, on the morning of the 18th, when A visited the rooftop as usual, they were shocked to find that someone had blocked the rooftop entrance by piling up items. A immediately filed a complaint with the management office, and that evening, after confirming the items had been removed, A went to the rooftop with their dogs only to find thumbtacks scattered around.
A claimed, "The resident living on the floor below the rooftop scattered thumbtacks there because it was 'noisy.' The only person who can feel the noise from the rooftop is the resident below." They added, "When I filed a complaint, the manager said they would tell the resident who had previously complained to clean it up." A speculated, "They must have been displeased with me for bringing my dogs to the rooftop and acted this way."
A said, "I usually go up to the rooftop in the morning when people are active, and I stay there briefly, about six minutes, with my dogs." They lamented, "Other residents have also taken their dogs to the rooftop before, and since it was noisy, I even brought a leash, so it's absurd that something like this happened."
Netizens who came across this story showed mixed reactions. Some criticized the resident who scattered the thumbtacks as going too far. They commented, "They can't even tolerate someone staying for about six minutes?" "Are they crazy? What if someone gets seriously hurt by the thumbtacks?" "It's a blessing to have good neighbors these days." "Why not just talk it out? There are too many strange people." On the other hand, some said, "If you want to walk your dog, go outside." "We need to hear both sides." "The dog noise in villas is really loud." "I really dislike selfish pet owners."
