Wyrd Lady on the First Floor

[ceebeegee]

I entered my building last night right behind another resident, Fran, who lives on the second floor. She was telling me about the weird lady on the first floor who yells at people through the door. Apparently she really IS weird and has been in the hospital a couple of times already this month. Fran also said she's had problems with alcohol. My latest annoyance with her (besides the screaming through the door when the door slams and we don't struggle to make sure it closes quietly--it's heavy as hell and slams on its own) is her constantly leaving SHIT out in the hallway. There is always something out there--right now it's a chair and a metal grocery cart. For a couple of days her fucking mattress was sticking most of the way out of her door, blocking the hallway. I called the landlord about that.

So, Fran filled me in, and I complained about the lady. I mentioned Duncan and Doug's encounter with her, and complained that my friends shouldn't have to be harassed. She said she'd witnessed that, and had nothing but good things to say about you guys--said you were very polite and tactful. Which really wasn't my point (of course you were polite) but was nice to hear. She said I should complain to Milt, although I'm not sure what he can do. She's not really breaking the law, and if she's sort of crazy, I don't think anything Milt says will make a difference. Fran mentioned her cat so I had to meet the kitty, who looks like a mixture of Calico and Russian blue. She was all ducking her head under my hand for head skritches, and then dancing away. Quite the head skritch tease.

Yeah that was fun. She wasn't hostile with us and insisted she wasn't drunk but still....I don't think drunk or sober would have made a distinction. She's froot loops.

Yes, when someone's weaving back and forth, barely articulating the words "I'm not drunk" it's difficult to take them at face value. She is truly unnerving.
