i live in an apartment complex and smile and say hi to everyone bc they are alive. even the sparrows and squirrels. and even the annoying bitch across the way
a couple years ago, she bitched at me for something. i cant even remember ohhhh it was for feeding birds actually. she told me that we arent allowed to feed birds
i said "okay" and walked away. no apology. no fight. but i wasnt willing to waste another second on someone like that
we havent spoken since. but a day or two ago, i heard her come outside and yell at kids for making noise.
they were laughing and shit. just kids being kids. i was working at the time, but in hindsight, their innocent happiness was pleasant background noise i guess
but she came outside and told them to stop. they said okay. but no apologies. im guessing they were shocked and scared bc her delivery was aggressive and she is huge woman. but they did say "okay" in scared voice. then q pause. then she started going off like "you are rude. do you realize that? you are very rude"
i almost freaked out. should i have? or would that make the situation worse
im not even suggesting i beat her unconscious. just words.
if i went out there and told her to "shut the fuck up and leave the awesome kids alone," would that have made the situation better or worse?
