AITA for sharing pictures of my bathroom after my new neighbor urinated all over my bathroom (my drywall, toilet, and trashcan)? They say they now don't feel welcome in the neighborhood.
In the quiet hopes of forging new friendships, a simple neighborhood BBQ turned into a haunting lesson in trust and respect.
Two new neighbors, Blake and Jeff, were welcomed warmly, laughter filling the air as drinks were shared and common passions discovered. Yet beneath the surface of camaraderie, an unexpected betrayal lurked, shattering the fragile peace.
What began as a gesture of goodwill ended in silent devastation when the sanctity of a shared home was violated in the most disrespectful way.
The careless destruction left not only physical mess but a deep emotional wound, leaving the couple grappling with confusion and hurt. In this fractured moment, the true cost of broken trust became painfully clear.

When the Crowd Speaks, It Echoes Loudly:
The internet jumped in fast, delivering everything from kind advice to cold truth. It’s a mix of empathy, outrage, and no-nonsense takes.
The original poster (OP) is experiencing deep confusion and a sense of betrayal after inviting new neighbors over, only for one of them to cause significant, uncleaned damage to their bathroom.
The OP felt justified in sharing evidence of the vandalism with close neighbors as a way to process the event and warn others, but the neighbors are now accusing the OP of escalating conflict and making them feel unwelcome due to perceived discrimination, despite the OP's belief that the issue was purely about the property damage.
Did the OP overstep by sharing photos of the damage with other neighbors, thus escalating a private incident into a neighborhood issue, or were they entirely within their rights to inform others about destructive behavior demonstrated by people they had just met?
Does the neighbors' claim of feeling targeted based on their identity outweigh the clear evidence of property destruction?
