Knocking on the door.
She knocked on the door loudly for 5 minutes, every 15 minutes for two hours. Thats not determination, thats fucking stupid. I have one rule about the ‘outside’ here - don’t ever do anything that will create any kind of attention. Pretty simple huh? This list is pretty much a breakdown - applies to friends, not paying guests.
- no knocking on doors unless its really quiet
- no crying
- no loud conversations
- no ‘loudspeaker’ function on the cell phone
- no bringing people up here w/o prior notice
- if it’s daylight, generally stay the hell inside
- no talking to neighbors
- no-no-no talking to the landlords downstairs, just smile-say you don’t know-and don’t stop walking
- no cigarette butts on the ground (all trash included)
Pretty easy stuff. But the door knocking is my peeve with her. Every time she’s done it, I lose my temper in an embarrassing way. But it happens all the damn time. She looks up with these puppy dog ayes and says ‘I’m sowwy..” And that just makes me madder. Its a massive wooden door and a person has to beat the hell out of it to be heard inside the rooms. But by then, it sounds like construction going on nearby…which is exactly what I though it was today. You can tell I’m in a bad mood these past few days.
She knows its a pet peeve of mine, but still never connects the dots as to why I get pissed off.
