So I am apparently a magnet for the worst neighbors the city has to throw at us.
In our last apartment I had the window overlooking the apartment where Parking Lot Rapstar liked to hang out. Plus there was the Tejano Audiophile. I was pretty glad to be away from them.
In this apartment I have once again selected the bedroom with the DRAMA WINDOW. I don't think I've posted about 'Fuck You, Nigger' dude before, mostly cause I thought he was 'one off' crazy.
He first appeared something like a month or two ago. I woke up to the sound of someone shouting "FUCK YOU NIGGER" over and over again. So I look out the window and there's this scrawny kid holding a baby screaming at the what turn out to be the world's most patient (and white) cops while he's hollaring his head off. I think the patience had more to do with the toddler he was holding than any benevolence on their part. It was about 3 am and they were at this for a food forty minutes before they got the kid away, gave her back to her mom, and got him into the back of the squad car.
Apparently he's a night owl. He showed up again a few hours ago. Fortunately his target was already in her car and slowly (but persistently!) nudging him down the street while he hollared and beat his fists on the hood of her sedan. Fortunately he realized that the car was bigger than he was and she was able to drive off. He then ran off in the opposite direction hollering some more.
Now... maybe I'm nosey or whatever, but that didn't look like anything was resolved to me so I decided to sit up for a little while with my cell phone in case he came back. Sure enough...
I realized he was back when I started to hear more banging and noise. Turns out she'd arrived home and he was waiting! (Aren't they always) Although this time there was someone in a black SUV trying to peel him off her car and stuff him into the backseat. Whoever the other guy was, he had to wrestle him back in the SUV twice that I saw because whenever she looked like she was going to try and get out the idiot in the back seat would jump out for more. I was on the phone with the cops for most of this. Fortunately for the idiot, his friend got him into the car and drove off before the squad cars actually showed up.
Once the idiot was gone, the girl got out of her car and I realized she had the baby with her. Poor kid. Both of them.
... however sympathetic I feel, it's tempered by the fact that I REALLY wish that this didn't have to happen right outside my bedroom window.
Since this is apparently going to be a THING, I have made an appropriate icon.
drama window,
really? seriously?
