How stupid do you have to be...
My next door neighbors are idiots. Do I need to elaborate on that? Ok.
So tonight I was just sitting in my room watching TV, when faintly over the noise of the TV I heard this annoying beeping. So I tried to figure out where it was coming from, and I soon realized that it was my next door neighbor's smoke alarm. I went out the back door and I saw some smoke, and I saw that all the lights were off on that side of the house. So I went out front, and at the same time another neighbor had come out to investigate the noise. The smoke at first wasn't as noticeable on that side, it just smelled like something cooking, but it got to be a lot worse while we were out there. We quickly came to the conclusion that no one was home, because it was impossible to ignore the noise from that smoke alarm and we tried banging on the doors and windows and got no response. Then the neighbor I was outside with said that the people who lived there have 2 dogs, so I called 911.
The emergency dispatcher said to get out of the house (because they're condos and all connected), so I got my cat and then went back outside. Another neighbor came out right then and she said that the guy who lives next door to me might be at another neighbor's house, so she ran to check. He was there, and he came running up right as the fire trucks got there. There was quite a bit of smoke at this point, and the first thing they did (thank God) was get the puppy out of there. The guy's wife or girlfriend or whatever had taken the other dog for a walk. But apparently one of them (I couldn't figure out which) had left grease heating on the stove, which is what started the fire. Which brings me back to my above point - my next door neighbors are idiots.
Anyway, it was an eventful Monday night.
Hope you all are well, f-list.
