Questions for my neighbors:
1. Do you enjoy having to yell conversations over your music? And if you are continually yelling conversations over music in your apartment, how is it possible that you have enough voice left to scream at your "man" in the middle of the night in the parking lot?
2. Why must you smash in the windshields of every car you own? Hasn't your insurance company questioned this practice of yours? Don't you get wet when it rains?
3. Do you like the police "visiting" your place of residence 2 to 3 times a week? Considering all the drugs and alcohol in your place, you'd think it would get annoying to have to constantly be hiding the stash.
4. Is it that you are blind and cannot see the other 6 billion people that inhabit the earth? Or do you just not care? I realize that when one is drunk, and cold, and angry with the man, and trying to stagger from cold, windshield smashed car to drug laden lair of an apt, perhaps "other people" aren't on your mind. But trust me, we behind the window blinds of the 6 apartments around you see you staggering along the
parking lot. We can't help it. When you vomit loudly in public at 3am, those "other people on earth" tend to wake up. And watch you. And laugh.
5. What made you think that setting off your car alarm at 4:30 am on a Saturday was an appropriate method of waking up your boyfriend? He was only trying to escape your drunk self by sleeping in that car. Did you realize that by standing right next to car while the alarm was going off tells all of "us behind the window blinds" that it was you who did that? Did you care?
6. What made you think it was appropriate to yell into a policeman's face "I wasn't doing nothing! Who called??? I don't see anybody calling!!" Why did you act surprised and offended when he threatened to arrest you? Oh...and that "weird clapping noise" you heard after the cop threatened you? That was "the ones behinds the window blinds" applauding the officer's efforts.
7. When do you find time to study? I have heard you are a college student. I don't consider "massage parlor techniques" college, by the way. Between drunken escapades that end at 4am every morning, your sleeping throughout the day, and the fights that begin around 7-9 pm at night, I don't know how you manage to squeeze in education.
8. Why do you think it's appropriate to respond to neighbors banging on the wall with "F them!"? You are the same person who will end up on the news, being interviewed from your hospital bed, telling the press, "I don't get why the neighbors shot me".
9. A word of wisdom for you: No one in the complex cares that "you have rights, too".
10. I hate you. So do the other neighbors.
