Just kicked the cat off my shoulder so I could type with both hands. 
On my way into the apartment a couple of hours ago, I passed a guy standing on the sidewalk who was having a conversation with my downstairs neighbor (hereafter, "DN") while DN stood on his balcony above. I've spoken a few times to DN (see the "Neighbor follies" thread -- it's that guy) but have never met the other guy, altho he lives nearby; he was carrying a couple of bags of groceries and it was obvious he had stopped on his way into his own place to talk with DN.
The gist of the conversation was that Groceries Guy had spent his day at a gun show and it was packed with people buying ammo, etc. He must have caught me rolling my eyes as I climbed the stairs, because suddenly he calls out, "Yeah, get ready, lady, we're coming for you -- f*ck you!"
Seriously, an eyeroll merits an F-bomb??
The best rejoinder I could come up with at the time was, "Nice to meet you too!" (Okay, I admit that I added, "@ssh*le" under my breath.)
What I *should* have said (I always think of this stuff later...) was, "Excuse me, sir, which apartment do you live in? Because if something happens to me or my property, I would like to know where to send the cops."
I'm *so* glad I'm moving soon.
Other than that, it's been a pretty good day...

I'd have asked him why he needs to shop for groceries? Isn't he MAN enough to kill his food?aliantha wrote:Just kicked the cat off my shoulder so I could type with both hands.

Enjoy, Caggy. In fact, if you'd told me earlier I'd have come over and hung out with ya. We could have gone and seen Avatar together. Sadly, I'm one of the few people on the planet who still hasn't seen it.Cagliostro wrote:Mama and baby are off and I'm alone this weekend. Debauchery and overindulgence is on the menu for tonight. And tomorrow I'll be seeing Avatar, if I can move myself out of the house.
WoW! Going all the way to Johannesburg, South Africa for the weekend! Pretty good friend!Cagliostro wrote:Mama and baby are off and I'm alone this weekend. Debauchery and overindulgence is on the menu for tonight. And tomorrow I'll be seeing Avatar, if I can move myself out of the house.
