Won't You Be My Neighbor?

When you live in the close quarters of an apartment building, you can become pretty intimately acquainted with your neighbors. But like the old saying goes, familiarity breeds contempt. These are a few people with whom I've become too familiar over the years:

• The Vacuuming At 7:30 On A Saturday Morning neighbor
• The Screaming Obscenities At Each Other for 45 Minutes Straight neighbors
• The Skinheads Who Party 'Til 4 A.M. neighbors
• The Having Noisy Sex In The Bathtub neighbors
• The Let's Give All The Kids Whistles! neighbor
• The Running An Illegal Tattoo Parlor Out Of His Apartment neighbor
• The Shitting In The Laundry Room Dryer neighbor
• The Killed Her Ex-Husband neighbor

To be fair, that last one was actually a very sweet lady and she claimed it was in self-defense. Although her second husband died suddenly and unexpectedly, and she moved out shortly thereafter . . . hmmmmm . . . .
