I think the best thing to do now is to talk to him. Keep your cool, don't act on the defensive or put him on the defensive. Just be honest and kind. Trust me, it is the way to go, if you wait too long you will make it worse. Tell him you weren't sure what to say after you left the note and you didn't mean to ignore him and are sorry you didn't say thank you for him being quiet and you have the feeling he is angry because of the way he is slamming the door now and can you both try again.
If things go well, I would even drop off some cookies with a thank you in front of his door.
I would say if that doesn't do it and it continues, you can say you did the best you could and call management.
Good Luck  |   |
