crazy old lady at the end of the hall.

today’s been a particularly great day to over hear her.

frequently, she talks to her cat. aloud. loudly.

i woke up to:

“oh, SHIT. well, i don’t have my cell phone on me. [unlocks and opens door again] HI CAT. i’m not back i just forgot my phone. ok. GOT IT. see ya later.”

and just now:

“[knock, knock, knock on the door across from me] hello? [knock, knock] are you HOME? [pound, pounding away at the door now] your KEYS are in the DOOR. [pounding, furiously] HELLO?” at this point the resident came up the back steps, presumably with her laundry basket. “oh. HI. your keys were left in your door, which is definitely a safety concern. i could’ve GONE RIGHT IN!”

i do wish it wasn’t so hard to continue a conversation with her, i’m often curious why a 50-something year old woman is living alone, in corryville, in a 250 sq ft apartment with a cat.
