i didn't get much sleep last night due to my crazy korean fob couple neighbors that were so loud and obnoxious, which led me to become so fed up that i marched over to their apartment, knocked on their door and asked them to please be quiet at 3am in the morning. this isn't the first time that i've lost sleep over these two, but i've only spoken to them about it once before (just the guy, who was pretty friendly the first time around). the door opens, and i realize that the guy is now DRUNK (does he not have work on monday? wtf does he do anyways...), but it's no excuse for him being hostile with me. pretty much the second i told him that i had just woken up due to how loud they were being, he threatened me and said that he doesn't really care much for what i have to say, and that if i wanted to call the cops that i should go ahead and do it. the girlfriend, realizing that i'm complaining about the noise started apologizing immediately and asked me not to say anything, as she's physically holding her boyfriend back from stepping forward. honestly, i wasn't really SCARED but this guy is just a complete punk, and i hate him so much. drunk or not drunk, what a coward to act that way. what was he gonna do, hit me?
not to mention that after i asked them to keep it down and went back into my apartment, the guy tried to crank up his music (now 4am in the morning) definitely just to spite me. i could hear the girlfriend asking him to quit it and he only lowered it slightly. this guy's even hit our adjacent wall so hard that my hanging paintings started to shake. pretty much he's just scum, and he makes me so ridiculously angry.
so while at work today i kept contemplating whether or not i should call management about it. to be honest, the guy's loud voice and hostility towards me does scare me somewhat, given that i live by myself and clearly he's not mature enough to realize that he shouldn't be so inconsiderate of others. their apartment is adjacent to mine and to be honest, he could easily come through my window from the balcony that we share... and... god knows what..
i wanted to resolve the issue but not create more drama with these people. after all, being a good neighbor is so much easier when you have good neighbors. home is supposed to be a place of relaxation. i don't want to be stressing out about these two, let alone lose sleep because of them. it's just not right.
after work i decided to get coffee since i was exhausted, but needed energy to write a formal complaint to management. i came home, and was about to make soup that i had bought yesterday. i'm looking around and i can't find the two cans of my favorite amy's soup but i swear i brought them home from the store. i find the receipt and confirm that i bought them, but they're no where to be found! the grocery store is literally a block away from my apartment, so i figured it wouldn't hurt to ask them just in case. when i start explaining to the manager that i might've left my soup at the store for whatever reason, she looked straight at me and didn't even hesitate when she said that i could take the two that i had bought yesterday off the shelves, no problem.
yeah, i know it's just soup (2 cans were almost $6!), but here's a complete stranger believing what i had to say, and pretty much replacing something that she didn't have a reason why she had to believe me. her act of kindness put such a smirk on my face, mostly because i still can't figure out what happened to my two cans that i bought.. and how silly it all was lols. being in such a good mood i didn't feel like sitting down to write the complaint to management, and headed to the gym instead.
went to the gym, came home, showered, worked on a project that i've started and it's now almost 1:30am and i've noticed through the thin walls that the couple next door have definitely been doing their best to keep it down. i can barely hear them!
all that stressing at work wasn't worth it, and i need to let go of things more easily.
i'll forgive them, and not call management this time.
but i won't forget--and if they cause another ruckus, i'm calling the cops.
in the meantime, i'm just glad i have my peace and quiet back.
(: one down, four more to go
