WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!

so, i just heard some voices in the hallway outside my apartment.

it was a man and a woman, and i imagined perhaps omar was out there with one of his "dates."

i decided to go look through my peephole to see what was going on.

and what i saw blew my mind.

my FORMER next-door neighbour, the weird guy with the (welcomed) hall-monitor tendencies, was walking down the hall with a normal-looking woman (i.e., not a strung-out hooker), laughing and chatting... AND THEN THEY WENT INTO HIS APARTMENT.

the one next to mine.

the one where, i thought, omar the creepy guy had moved. because, AS OF THIS MORNING, omar was still coming and going FROM NEXT DOOR.

but, moments ago, my not-so-former-after-all neighbour was once again heading in. and without any indication that he, you know, no longer lives there.

he must still live there.

the mind reels. REELS, i tell you.

what the hell is going on????

[edited to add: to be clear, i'm not 100% who lives where. i keep hearing the door of the next-door unit opening and closing (and slamming), which is the only reason i suspect these guys are both coming and going from the same place, as i can't *see* the door from my peephole.]

See now, this is the kind of situation where I sit around in the dark, petrified, creating scenarios in my head in which I just open my door and say, "So, who has the privilege of being my next door neighbor?" And of course, I can't do that, even though I might write such a scene in a story.

honestly, i have no idea what's going on.

what i do know is that the door next door opens and closes at LEAST 20 times a day. slamming every time.

and i ask myself, "why would someone come and go from their apartment that often every day???"

my super is on vacation, but i can't wait for her to come back so i can find out who lives where!
