No matter how kind we might like to be, we all know that there are going to be people in the world who we don't especially like, and who are not big fans of us either.
But it's not fun to overhear someone speaking poorly of you, especially recorded in a voicemail that you could play over and over.
That was the experience TikToker Grace (@www.slayy.net) had when she, as a tenant, received a phone call from her apartment complex's front office, accusing her of smoking in her apartment.
Not only was Grace not smoking in her apartment as the front office thought, but when the call technically ended, the employee who called her did not properly hang up the phone. According to the voicemail left on Grace's phone, the employee had some choice opinions about her that she had no problem venting to her coworkers.
In the video, Grace sits and awkwardly smiles while the employee talks about her:
"She looks like a little, innocent bunny, but really, she is an evil bunny."
"You know those cartoons where you see a bunny and it turns all like, oh sh*t!? Right?"
Another employee randomly adds to the conversation in the background:
"Isn't she Spanish?"

@In a follow-up video, Grace said that she wasn't looking for a confrontation or to get anyone fired.
She also said that she was "too scared" of stirring up issues, since the woman who had called her lived in the same building on the property as Grace—and even on the same floor—so they'd inevitably continue to see each other all the time.
But after telling her parents about the incident, her father called on her behalf to complain. As a result, the woman called Grace to apologize, and when Grace said she was not interested in having a conversation, the woman insisted on continuing to talk.
She expressed concern about things being "awkward" when seeing each other in the future, and she stated that she had "embarrassed" herself. To cope with the unwanted conversation, Grace started responding in rabbit puns, including, "I'm all ears for your apology."
The puns definitely would have made some of the TikTokers proud.

@When the woman would not stop venting her concerns, Grace responded with a pun she could not ignore:
"I promise I'll be a nice bunny... and she totally clocked that."

Though Grace was not interested in getting anyone fired or even getting free rent, hopefully the woman who spoke about her will think twice about speaking poorly about others in the future.
Or at the very least, figure out how to use technology properly.
