There are only two people in this world who incur my wrath on a personal level. One of them is GFG who has lived downstairs for nearly two years. She is the most selfish, arrogant person I've had the misfortune to deal with. I despise her.
I can barely begin to list the things she has done. But this morning, she decided to let her doors slam so hard that they woke me and S from sleep, and she then decided to hoover, and sang "I'm hoovering on a Sunday morning." Singing? Well, wailing. She did this because her husband (poor bastard) is home from his job away (he's rarely home, wonder why) and she feels a bit more courageous and finds she can more easily act like a knob. She helps herself to our garden furniture though she has paid for nothing, and you can be sure that if we used anything that was hers, she's go mental.
I am so angry I actually don't know what to do. I find it's bordering on harassment now and am considering calling the police. I can't put up with this for much longer.
I'm ill and should be relaxed at home (S has just gone out as he had something planned for today) but I haven't slept well and every time I hear her move, I am on edge. I will have to go out to get some peace of mind. This is ridiculous. Ridiculous. I can feel myself simmering; soon I will explode.
I can imagine how you must be feeling.I have come across such people too,one being an aunt of mine.Sick they are!
ReplyDeleteDon't you respond to her dear,that will only encourage her crap.
Meditate or something and try to relax.Take care.
Horrid and impossible sounding situation, MD, you poor thing!
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing in a situation like this is how one starts to "fixate" on the offender - and then every tiny noise becomes like thunder. Such a very hard situation to deal with - I do hope you find a good solution and manage to get some peace and quiet!
Hi Sameera – thanks – but I am sorry to hear that you have encountered such a person. I won't respond in kind though I did get *very* angry last night and screamed through the floor at her to shut up (though using different words). I've had enough of her and her blatant disregard for anyone else...
ReplyDeleteHey Vanilla, thanks... it's so true about the fixation. I resent that I even have to think about her at all... she is by far the most annoying and moronic person I have met. I do wonder whether her husband knows what he has let himself in for...
ReplyDeleteGod knows we have been really civil and nice to her and that makes me angrier yet. Boiling angry. I won't be bullied.
Her behaviour sounds hostile, Mellif, and I'm guessing that this is what makes the whole thing so difficult. It it was just a thoughtless teenager who didn't realise what distress she was causing it might not be so bad but the thought that someone is deliberately out to "get" you is horrible. It might help if you could separate the actual noise from the intention - but that's easier said than done.
ReplyDeleteSigns, I was thinking of you earlier... I did a single Tarot and got the seven of wands. Change of tactic needed... my first instinct was to think, "Maybe I should talk to her" but then I recalled that we had tried that.
ReplyDeleteSo, a change of tactic is for me to let loose – to get the fury out instead of keeping it in. It is cathartic. She is a reminder of so many people who have treated me like shit in my life and who have got away with it, or had an easy ride. Those days are gone!
This resonates - truckloads of empathy in your direction! Seven of wands seems eloquent in the circumstances.
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear Signs. Empathy received and worn like a cloak.
ReplyDeleteI shall become a wizard as well as a warrior and see a way through this.
