AM I THE IDIOT?

So basically i just arrived home with heavy bags, almost fell down the stairs as my ponytail got caught on the stairs, so when i came in my flat i released everything started un packing.
I heard banging noises on ceiling💥
I went and knocked downstairs and asked if it was them and if i'm ever noisy give me a knock and was hit with the "Oh i never heard any banging but we hear a lot from you"
Me: "Oh really what today sorry i just got back?"
My neighbours son: "All the time and today"💁🏾‍♂
And we went back and forth for a bit then i stated my reason for knocking in the first place and he was going on about all the things I've done, meanwhile my mum is on the phone hearing all of this🤦‍♀and then i was like "Okay i said what i needed give me a knock if I'm loud bye" and he was still trying to combat that so i just went upstairs, it was over, im not standing and arguing.💁‍♀

I honestly did not appreciate that, he was pretty calm mannered but very passive aggressive and combative i did have to breathe out for composure😂 because that is willlldd.
And obviously his mum will speak to me that is fine, but better come correct because i don't argue with people at that age, but my mom do and she can talk to her🤷‍♀💁‍♀

I'm actually hurt that I've been described as a neighbour like that and they hate for me like that, real annoyance from suppressing it all
But doesn't that come from poor communication too? Because I'm genuinely blindesided.
(I do not wash my clothes late, hoover, jump, do any walking, standing workouts late, i even wear slippers and just today got a bedroom rug)
I do not go out of my way to be an ass,

So I'm hoping this clears up and i get to talk to her and clear the air and yes be aware and mindful, they don't have to like me,but at least communicate to me about stuff, so at least I know, IM AN ADULT, I AM REASONABLE.

Part of me wants to start and all out war with them but that's not the way, I'm just MEGA ANNOYED tbh!

What I learned with neighbors is escalate upward, not outward. If there is an issue, reach up to the landlord, not out toward the neighbor..

They won’t ever see your side of the story..

@soulrespite Honestly our landlord is rubbish, we are all dealing with another neighbour next door, who litters we have nappies and food all over the ground and that's not being dealt with.

And yes your right about never seeing your side of the story that's very much true but the issue at hand is the noise they can't stop me living here and they are going to have to hear some noises vice versa but I can minimise it with things like area rugs and being quiter later in the day.
I am willing to do that, that's reasonable.
