An update to the last post. I heard somebody in the apt above and I was so friggin’ mad about them having the last word that I opened the door to find the girlfriend there. I stared, she asked “Is there something I can help you with?”…she looked worried. We had words. She kept calling me a drug addict and that I burn incense (never) and still smoke pot (not since Sept. 27). It’s obviously the only bad thing they can think to say about me, and a lie.
Next thing you know, her boyfriend is knocking on my door, so I pretend I’m on the phone, I laugh and repeat stuff he’s saying like I’m talking to a friend about it, I also say I’m going to call the cops. He has the nerve to say “I’m only doing what you did to me.”
WTF?????
They left but not before ringing the buzzer for 5 minutes, so I’ve disconnected it since I imagine they’ll try that again. I’ve put a call in with the Realtor lady to see why they still have keys and tell her what happened. I really hate that their friends still live below me, that could be bad.
Yes, LA Runner, in answer to your comment on the previous post, I did cry and I am scared.
Edit: it’s 30 minutes later, I’m not shaking anymore and will not be scared by this. “I’m only doing what you did to me” is not the phrase of a dangerous person, just a total idiot.

It sounds like the boyfriend is a bully, and rather stupid. Those notes were a dumb move on his part. Keep them safe. I wonder what he thinks you did? Were they evicted? Time for realtor-lady to change the locks. If they continue to come visiting, then downstairs-lady is letting them in, and she’s in trouble.
Oh Flo, you don’t deserve this. Here’s hoping it’s over. Hugs.
Thank you for the hugs, I’m needing them. It occurred to me they might have thought I got them kicked out (their lease was not renewed but not because of me, they caused problems with the landlord) because that’d be worth being super angry over.
But from “I’m only doing what you did to me,” it seems my one, simple note under the door on October 9th was enough to require massive retaliation from that Cro-Magnon fuckhead.
I keep a handgun for situations like this. Sorry, but true.
If I had a handgun, I’d have gone Postal through the ceiling over a month ago. Sorry, but true.
So sketchy. What the heck were they doing back in the apt? Definitely time to change the lock!!
Ugh… I feel so bad for you. It’s so tough to have to deal with crazy people. I ended up leaving my apartment empty for three months once and moving back to my parents’ house because of a crazy ex-roommate back in the day. Down the road, you’ll look back and think that it was silly to be scared, but it’s completely understandable now. You wouldn’t be human if you weren’t. Hang in there and good luck.
OK, feeling much better now. Ice cream and quiet, a lovely combo. The situation isn’t important enough to warrant them obsessing over it, right? So maybe they’ll visit their apartment at 1:30am tonight to mess with me, but that’d be the end of it. Will have to wait and see…
They’re just idiots and bullies. Best to try and stay calm for a few days. Don’t go to Wall-mart and buy a gun! We can’t do that down here – hence a very small number of gun deaths each year. But there are knife deaths
Don’t go Postal! Hugs.
I know, it’s pretty crazy that you can just go out and buy a gun here, I wish it wasn’t that easy. Thanks for the hugs, Aussie ones feel totally different, but in a good way.
Glad to hear you’re feeling better. Wow, what freaks, Flo. Big hug to ya!
Wow! That is an amazing story, a bit frightening, too. It’s good that the neighbors have moved out and hopefully after some carpeting you will get nicer new neighbors.
Geesh – the notes. No, you are NOT crazy! They are idiots. Just be careful. (((()))) I suspect they’d try a few more times to escalate it, but if they don’t get the reaction they want, they’ll stop. Are they older or younger?
Oh, and super 7:53 pace!!!
Flo, I am so sorry that all of this has happened to you! I am glad to hear that they are gone.
If you open up a psychology textbook to the chapter on “projection,” is there a big old ugly picture of them? So sorry you have to deal with their ugliness – I hope the locks are changed ASAP and you have nothing but peace, quiet and the pitter-patter of raindrops to disturb your ruminations. Hugs to you!
Wow, that whole situation is crazy! I’m so sorry. But you are right, they are just idiots.
Seriously Flo how do these these things happen to you…….those notes where just Fing crazy.
I can only imagine how fast your heart was racing, but now they can go find another person to talk trash too (so sorry for that person).
I think the Blogging Gods decided to give me a whole lot of mess for 2009 so I’d have an endless supply of drama to describe. Never a dull moment.
ZOMG your neighbors are crazy! I was so mad for you after I read those awful notes they left. What total jackasses. I’m glad they’re gone for good! Here’s to a more peaceful new year! =)
