My last 2 downstairs neighbors, I've talked to regularly. I even got drunk with them a few times, and wound up smoking that sweet, sweet illegal mary jane with them.
My current downstairs neighbors? They can piss up a rope.
The first time I saw them moving in, I was walking from my car and saw them outside. I walked up and said "Hey, I'm <Bean>, I'm upstairs, how are you?". I got the death glare from her and she walked off. Okay, whatever.
A few weeks later, I woke up to the sound of glass shattering. The source? The neighbors had gotten in a fight and they wound up slamming they front door. Repeatedly. After I woke up I heard it slam at least 6 times, then heard a lot of screaming in the parking lot for several minutes. The sound of glass shattering? A $200 clock my mom gave me for Christmas that was hanging over my fireplace, it fell off the wall when they started slamming doors. I then heard glass shatter outside.. turns out she took a hammer to his car in the parking lot (they're a couple).
Occasionally when I come home from work, the male part of the household is outside sitting on the stairs, usually smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone. He's always been semi friendly to me - we say hello to each other, and he actually moves out of my way when I'm walking up the stairs.
Yesterday, I walked up to the apartment mailbox while she was there. Her mailbox is directly above mine, so I had to wait. While she was looking at her mail, I made the mistake of saying "Oh hey, how are you?".. and got the stink eye. Followed by her slamming the mailbox shut and walking off, while looking over her shoulder the entire time at me.
Since when is an openly gay guy who minds his own business so threatening?
I finally had to file a noise complaint on them tonight. More doors slamming, more screaming that I could clearly hear in my bedroom. I would have called in a domestic disturbance call if it had gone beyond some yelling, believe me. There's CONCRETE between the floors, so it takes a lot to be heard.
I'm on good terms with 5 neighbors in my buildling, and on bad terms with 2. One always decides to crank his subwoofer up at 6am, and I got in his face about it once. The other ALWAYS parks in my carport (I pay $25/month for it and it's labeled "RESERVED"), I finally gave up trying to talk to her and got her car towed one night. I warned her several times that if she kept parking in MY spot she'd get towed. The rest of my neighbors I've never talked to.
