Fun with neighbors!!!
Friday!
A woman barged into my apartment without knocking. I asked if I could help her. She was obviously very very drunk and said "Do you know Wendy? Are you good with keys? And getting the right key into the door and opening the door?". I actually don't know the neighbor who's apartment she was going into at all, and have never seen her before, so I asked if she was staying here, she said something like "Kind of, but I just have to pee really badly. HELP ME OPEN THE DOOR". She's basically screaming at me frantically now, while bracing herself against the wall so as not to fall down and also doing "the pee pee dance". I told her I didn't know the neighbors at all so I don't feel like I should help a drunk woman into their apartment - keys or not. She said "Oh, some great neighbor you are!". Well, now she's just being mean, so I told her I wasn't helping her, walked back in my apartment and locked the door.
Of course I did watch out the peephole for a while and saw her sit down on the ground and burst into tears. I'm going to give her a tiny bit of credit in that the keys in all the doors in the apartment actually turn in the opposite direction of normal doors and I imagine that would confuse a drunk person, however that's no excuse for being rude!
Minutes later she is gone and the woman who is actually my neighbor knocks on my door to ask "Have you seen my cousin? She has my keys". I told her what happened and she started apologizing, and then the first woman came out of the elevator and started crying and pointing fingers and going "He was so mean to me!!!! THAT MAN MADE ME CRY!!".
Great, so now I'm the asshole neighbor who makes people cry.
Saturday!
Alex took a shower and noticed our shower wasn't draining, so he called the apartment manager. Well, manager came down and attempted to snake our tub, not knowing that the other end of the snake came out of our elderly neighbor's bathtub, whipping around and destroying her bathroom while spraying black water everywhere. Whoops.
I feel very bad. She is a sweet old lady (see, I am a good neighbor) and I think she my have had a stroke or something because she talks very slowly. She always says hi and visits with us - I can't imagine at 80+ or whatever, suddenly some alien technology-looking tentacle creeping up out of my shower and spewing up goo all over my bathroom. I'd be a little freaked out.
Roto-rooter eventually came and fixed everything, but it sounds like there was a lot of damage done next door that the building is going to need to cover.
Now it's sunday and I have a cold. I'm hoping for no excitement today.
