"The lady"

The other night, when I asked the neighbors to turn down their jarring music (and I just wanted them to be quieter overall, truthfully), I unexpectedly got much nicer about it than I had intended. It felt like something calm came over me when I asked them to turn it down, and it was almost a pretty experience. The next day my roommate was approached: "We're sorry we were so loud and it was bothering you." Roommate: "Oh, who complained about the noise?" Neighbor: "It was the lady."
