Okay, they were never openly horrible to me but they were to my neighbours and friends, and Their open kitchen window is right across from my very thin front door so I have heard many things I never wanted to hear. These people are clearly fucked up, but they’re also just plain weird.

At first, he said “wow - you’re a tough nut to crack!”, then “you seem so reserved - it must be difficult to get to know you, but I want to try! Say, Tuesday night?” (I said no). A…
