It can be pretty depressing not having friends and having a dysfunctional family. A weird added stress is thought that my crack-head neighbor could snap any day. It’s hilarious because he is the stupidest crazy out there, but not so funny because I get freaked out at night knowing he lives right in the adjacent apartment.
About a week ago he left ramen noodles out on our porch and put up a sign on a piece of paper that said health hazard. It was a stupid attempt at an intimidation tactic, because we complained to the authorities about him shooting guns in the backyard. He had spelt hazard incorrectly and my father and I had a good laugh at his expense. Just tonight I made myself some progresso soup and asked my dad if he was going to eat the few packets of ramen we had left. I did not put two and two together. My dad came into my room just a few minutes ago and ask me how much ramen I had eaten, we realized that our neighbor might have taken the ramen from our apartment, crushed it up and left that sign. He might not have, but we are not entirely sure.He is such a sleaze ball and he leaves all kinds of stuff (including food) on the premises so at the time we hadn’t thought much of it at the time.
I didn’t really have much choice in moving here, because my father chose this apartment. He knew we were going to be near this person, but thought it wouldn’t be that bad. I mean we are related kind-through-marriage, right? So since we are sorta family I thought he would be cool. He and my father have had arguments on numerous occasions since living here. During this year I have found out some pretty disgusting things about this guy that I had never knew. Him having a dealer here once a week is one of them, but the police don’t do anything about it. He is the most idiotic, crazy person I have ever had to be near. I can’t even hang out in my backyard because he is gross and skins animals out there like some kind of maniac.
On a more positive note only a few more weeks till I can move onto my college campus, so I won’t have to worry about him after winter break 🙂

Jeeze, that’s a shitty situation. I doubt the guy will actually do anything to hurt you, but you can never tell until something happens. He sounds like a total loon, though.
Yep some people can be very scummy neighbors. Since you said he’s some crackhead, just get him in trouble with the cops and they’ll lock him up. If you see that he’s in possession of drugs or something then call the police on him.
Lots of shitty people in this world. I used to have bad neighbors too, I’ll spare the details but eventually we were able to move out and get away from them. We live in a better place now-next step is getting our own house once I get a better paying job.
Life can suck-you’re basically forced into existence by your parents and you have absolutely no control over that. You have all their flaws and have to live under their rules until you’re old and wise enough to be on your own. But then what have you accomplished? Just gotten away from the people that put you here.
I admit I did have a pretty good early life, even my late teens and 20s were decent-but the rest was crap. The only reason I haven’t ended my life is that because I’ve experienced great things before I’m hoping to do it again. Otherwise I really don’t have much to live for to be honest.
And who said the human species is intelligent? lol
