I live in an apt build. on the 3rd floor. Someone had thrown some trash, (2 cig butts and a paper towel) on the stairway leading up to the 3rd floor, which also happens to have 3 other apts besides mine. Someone assuming for some reason that this was me littering put the garbage on my welcome mat.
I angrily threw it back where it was and shut my door. (I know I could have thrown it away, but I did not want this person to put all future garbage found on my mat. A few hrs later I open my door and the garbage was again put on my mat. I then attached a note on my door to the garbage patrol that it was not my garbage and if they had a problem to knock and we'd settle it. I also mentioned they should get a life.
Is there any better way to settle this? Should I knock on the other 3 doors? I really mind my own business and would like to live in a peaceful environment with no hostility.
Thank you for your time.

Yes. Contact your resident manager immediately and tell them the "harassment you are suffering." Most likely, if they have a brain, they will investigate it to discover who may be lying. Take pix before you go and document what x's you noticed this being done. This will help them pin down who's at home when its happening.
P.S. do not take vengeance into your own hands. 9 x's out of 10 it always gets out of hand. good luck.

Yes, you should have just tossed it in the trash the first time. Tossing it back was childish. If it happened another couple of times, you would then write a letter to the landlord detailing the fact somebody is dropping trash at your door. It could have been anybody in your building playing a dumb joke. Please don't go knocking on doors. If somebody knocked on my door looking for whoever dropped 2 cigarette butts and a paper towel, I would consider that to be an act that wasn't very neighbourly. If that somebody ran into me at the mailbox or in the hall, and asked casually if I had seen anybody tossing trash, I would be happy to answer and say I would keep an eye out for it.

Report the matter to the people responsible for the maintenance of the apartment bldg. OR Install a camera and
record with anti-theft frame sorrounding the camara or still you can focus the camara from your closed door directl on your door mat.

that's a lot too lots of a muchness for particular and the only one that could end it is your boyfriend. large that he's a effective guy, yet it is at or previous the ridiculous point magnificent now and could in user-friendly terms worsen till she strikes in with you bodily. He could refer to her without you there and thank her for the presents, etc yet to any extent further she shouldn't touch him this lots. He needs his privateness, he has his own existence to steer and he needs quiet time and privateness time none of that are achieveable along with her interruptions, and that's how he has to declare it, interruptions. She could have understand for him and for you and decrease her touch to as quickly as a week, if that.

As you said, you could have thrown it away...be the bigger person and get over it. I doubt that, unless there is a reason for it, that you'll find any garbage left around turning up at your door.
The note is just inflammatory and won't help resolve the situation. Breathe deeply and move on...

If you live in an apartment complex you're going to have to deal with annoying people like this. If it bothers you, just move out into the woods like me.

I WOULD KNOCK ON THE OTHER DOORS AND FIND OUT WHO IS DOING IT IF THAT DOESN'T WORK SET THEM UP PUT TRASH OUT THERE AND MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THEM AND THEN SURPRISE THEM. THEN LET THE MANAGEMENT DEAL WITH IT OR POLICE AS ARGUING WILL NOT SETTLE IT.

leave a note stating that if it continues you will file a harassment charge against whoever is doing it.
