Maturity

Funny thing: the very night I post the link to the “hugs” video, a war begins with my neighbor. Three occupants of this building (that I know of) have now lodged complaints with the office regarding her (and/or her boyfriend’s) behavior and, as I am surely one of them, I’m the lucky (and obvious) target of an immature retaliation.

The stereo is up even louder than normal tonight, so I needed to go over there again (this is perhaps the 10th time) to ask that the volume be lowered: which I did, calmly and respectfully. I was greeted very coolly when she opened the door, but I smiled and quite evenly suggested that if she could lower the volume, it would help me out a lot. She replied “well, I’ll see what I can do to help!” …whereupon I had the door slammed directly into my astonished face.

So, here we go. Unfriendly. AND noisy. Great.
