Joys of Apartment Living, Part 2

Friday, November 11, 2005

You may remember the other day I wrote about the couple downstairs. Last night, things got hardcore. My husband and I had just laid down in bed to go to sleep. We were having our nightly bedtime conversation where we catch up on the day. Downstairs was a "commotion". At first I thought maybe they were playing around but soon I heard doors slamming and some serious yelling. I crept out to the living room to see if I could hear better (yes, I was being nosy).

All of the sudden they both go out the front door. I sneak to the window and can see them. The girl, I'll call her Marla, is screaming from the front stoop about calling the cops. The guy, I'll call him Tyler, is out in the yard wearing boxers, no shoes (in 30 degree weather) and yelling that he hopes someone does call the cops. Marla informs him that he'd get taken to jail but he said he'd never go back over a woman and he already spent 3 1/2 years there. Oh nice, Tyler is a jailbird.

I run back to tell Josh all this because now I'm a little freaked out. They seriously look like they could hit each other. Josh and I go back out to the living room and OH.MY.GOSH...Tyler is NAKED. That's right, folks, I have a naked man on my front lawn. He had pulled off his shorts and was standing there in his birthday suit. I'm sure he was trying to prove a point but he pretty much just looked stupid. I mean, it was really cold! There was more yelling where they used some words I could NEVER repeat. Eventually Tyler put his shorts back on, got in his car and drove off.

Whoa, that was some serious action at the old apartment building. Once Josh and I finally went back to bed, I think we were both thankful that we would never act like that towards each other. I for one, am thankful that I never have to worry my husband is going to stand naked in the front yard and call me a lying, cheating [beep].
