Mr. Rogers Neighborhood




In the last year, we've had many new people move into our apartment building, and since it's a relatively small complex, you can't help but notice how strange people are. For example, our landlord's daughter's boyfriend likes to throw quarters at her bedroom window in the middle of the night. And the landlord's boyfriend likes to walk around the property in his sweat-shorts. I think our neighbor downstairs is clinically depressed. He never leaves his apartment. I think he lost his job and he just sits inside all day with the binds closed and the lights on. His poor cat is always staring at me from the window. I think I'm going to stage a rescue mission to get the cat out. The neighbor next to him is a crazy old lady that lives by herself and is a chronic hoarder. Her living room, car, and garage is full of crap. I think she needs an intervention. Plus, she's always hitting things with her car and forgets to close the garage door when she goes to work. I thought the guy next door to her was cool when he first moved in, but not so much. He broke up with his girlfriend and has friends over at his house all the time. They're always playing video games and the electric guitar. He really sucks at playing the guitar. He also has this guy that's living on his couch. That guy smokes cigarettes out in front of our apartment with his friends and likes to blow the smoke into our apartment. Also, last night I woke up at 3am to some chick yelling 'F* me harder'. I think it was someone in his apartment. The couple that lives upstairs to him used to be the weird ones of the building but since we've had all these freaks move in they are now the nice normal ones. I think they are both nurses. The couple next to them are nice too but I don't see them often. Now that I think of it, I've probably seen them once in the last 6 months. Where are they? The guy likes to surf and skate and has a pretty cool long board. And, finally, the lady that lives right next door to us is a giant turd. She never talks or says hi or smiles. And her cat gets confused and sometimes thinks that he lives at our place and sits in front of our screen door and meows. He also likes to drink from our water garden but I like him most because he chases the squirrels.
