ha yes, L.A. apt dweller, i pretty much stay to myself in my rent controlled 3rd floor apt that i have lived for 10yrs, I have a psycho black lady living in the adjacent apt (bathroom wall connected) who likes to run water all the time, has never worked since ive lived there and sounds like she practically lives in her bathroom, the young people next door (share hallway) are in and out all the time and slam their door. The creepy asian guy (down the hall) who rushes to his car everytime im in his near vicinity. The white lady who "collects and sells" others people resellable trash also on the 3rd floor. I have some young girl, who i dont know, on the 1st floor, who trys to get my attention by saying "hi" everytime in our parking garage, last time, she got belligerent, yelled at me and said "im not very nice" in front of her boyfriend while i was going down the stairs and they were coming up. I made the mistake of telling her my first name a while back while i was opening the garage door to exit. Now she calls me by my first name when she wants attention. Apparently, she is now upset that i dont acknowledge her back. I think she likes me but i dont think she knows im gay, i dont live in the "gay ghetto" of west hollywood and to my knowledge i dont have any gay neighbors. I just want to be left alone and go about my business. Nosey neighbor(s) that prob wants to know my business which i am not inclined to give, im sure that is what is upsetting her, but why do i care, or am i supposed to? she had no business yelling at me esp in front of her boyfriend, was this a power play on her part, show off to her boyfriend?.

i dont know their business or anybody else in my building for that matter and i dont want to know. I once had a "kids" drawing placed on my divers side window in my garage saying "smile", where do these people get off? We dont live in the south or very north where people wave to total strangers, between the psycho bathroom water lady and now this needy attention girl is borderline stalking.

I dont want "relationships" with my straight neighbors, some questionable. If im waxing my car in the garage and someone approaches me, or doing laundry, sure, i'll chat. But when im going somewhere and its obvious, why do i need to stop and acknowledge when im in a hurry. Sometimes, in the elevator, i'll make small talk, but when that door opens, good bye.

i am sure during cases of emergency, like power outage, fire or earthquake "the building" would come together and we prob would help eachother like all people do in an emergency. But until that happens, you keep to yourself, i will do the same. Otherwise, ive usually had no trouble and have enjoyed living there. I think just some people have to know others business, the only one should know is your manager, limited of course.
