My neighbors across the hall had a nasty habit of stealing. This included my food deliveries, my shoes from the cabinet, and even my clothes drying on the rooftop. Nothing was safe from them. I had enough. One day, I placed a pair of shoes borrowed from my friend, who was battling an extreme case of athlete’s foot, outside my door. Not long after they stole them, they came banging on my door in the middle of the night, furious about the outbreak on their feet. They even filed a complaint at the hospital where I work. I was so furious that I invited a few homeless patients to move in. A muscular man with HIV, an elderly woman with syphilis, and a young man with severe mental health issues became their new neighbors. The thieves could not handle it and begged the landlord to evict them. However, the joke was on them. My family owned the entire building. If anyone was leaving, it certainly was not me.
Voir plusThe police arrived fully armed and promptly took everyone involved into custody.The once-arrogant man was a pitiful sight. His body was covered in bruises and not a single patch of unscathed skin.His wife, however, had managed to avoid the worst. I heard she had hidden in the bedroom during the chaos. Even so, she seemed mentally unhinged. She was trembling uncontrollably and scratching herself from time to time.Peeking out from under her pants was a pair of floral red underwear. It was clearly Mrs. Warren’s.I shook my head and focused on calming the terrified tenants. I reassured them that they could all move to the building next door, which also belonged to my family, while I arranged for this one to be thoroughly disinfected.Still visibly shaken, the tenants nodded in agreement.By evening, the entire building was empty. I sent a message to my father and asked him to have the building sealed off completely.It was not that it could not be lived in anymore. It was just
Early the next morning, before the sun was even up, I contacted a moving company. I was ready to kick that entire family out for good.I was exhausted. Vera had spent the whole night banging on doors, crying, and whining about her situation. Her incessant wailing had filled the group chat with complaints from the other tenants.With a cold, determined expression, I headed upstairs. I was fully prepared to order them to pack their things and get out immediately.However, before I could make it to their door, the doors of the elevator slid open.A group of people came out all at once.I recognized several familiar faces.I froze in place. Were these not the same battle-hardened reinforcements Vera had brought in before?Their faces were twisted with rage. Their eyes were filled with hatred. They surrounded Vera and slapped her hard across the face several times.“You didn’t tell us the man across the hall had HIV! We’ve all been infected!”“You wretched old hag, you’ll die a mis
I treated myself to a nice dinner and enjoyed a luxury steak before wiping my mouth in satisfaction.When I got home, I ran into that ridiculous family yet again.Kerry had not even stayed in the hospital for her surgery!I ducked behind a tree to avoid them. I silently resolved myself to call someone tomorrow to kick this entire family out for good.They were on a month-to-month lease anyway. I could have them gone anytime I wanted.Just as I was thinking about the battle I would have to fight tomorrow, Gregg suddenly slapped his wife, who was still hunched over in pain. It knocked her to the ground. He barked, “You useless woman! You couldn’t even keep the baby!” Vera, who was standing beside them, also gave her a kick. “Marrying you was the biggest mistake! And you want surgery? Dream on! Go sell your kidney or your blood if you want treatment, you infertile trash!”However, as soon as Vera said that, her son shoved her hard and sent her tumbling to the ground. She looked up
After the brutal fight, I transferred one hundred dollars to Victor as a token of gratitude.However, Victor stubbornly refused to take a single cent and insisted on returning the money to me.With no other choice, I decided to go upstairs to speak with him directly. Yet, as I stood waiting for the elevator, I suddenly heard police officers’ voices coming from above, followed by loud, wailing cries.“You have to help us, officers! My daughter-in-law is in terrible pain because of the stress they caused!” “That’s right! My wife’s stomachache came out of nowhere. It’s definitely because of the foot fungus! Arrest them now!” “Ahhh! Honey, it hurts so much! The pain is unbearable!”…I could not stand listening to their nonsense any longer. Before the police knocked on the door, I headed upstairs and walked straight over to them.I coldly glared at the three troublemakers and said, “Leave them alone. Talk to me instead. If there’s an issue, go to the hospital!”“You witch! You f
After I messaged the tenants, the group chat immediately exploded with comments that were aimed squarely at that troublesome family.It was no surprise. Vera’s family had rubbed everyone the wrong way. The tenants did not hold back.[I think someone’s just spreading lies. That young man’s perfectly fine. I’m not blind!][Exactly! Maybe they should focus on living their own lives instead of meddling in others. They’re so petty, it’s honestly pathetic.][If you ask me, they’re just mad they can’t steal from him, so now they’re smearing him!]…Reading these comments, I felt the anger in my chest dissipate completely. A sense of relief washed over me.Seeing all the tenants turn against her, Kerry shouted into the group chat in a furious voice message. “You idiots! Have you all lost your minds? You’re insane! Let’s see if you’re still laughing when that lunatic shows up at your door and chops you into pieces!”However, her angry rant was quickly drowned out by a wave of rebukes
That night, I had a great night’s sleep.The next morning, as soon as I woke up, I bolted up to the rooftop.For God’s sake! Every single piece of clothing was stolen! Not even a shoelace left behind!Just then, Mrs. Warren appeared out of nowhere. There was a sly grin on her usually kind face.“Dr. Young, don’t worry. I threw in three pairs of my underwear and eight bras. That’ll be plenty for them to share!”I stared at her, stunned for a moment, before giving her a big thumbs-up. “Mrs. Warren, that’s genius! Oh, and please just call me Maddie.”She took a step back. “Maddie, keep your distance from me. Don’t worry, once that awful family surrenders, I’ll move out. I won’t be causing you any trouble!”“Mrs. Warren, what are you talking about? I…” Before I could finish, my phone started buzzing.I opened it and saw a flood of angry messages in the building’s group chat.Kerry had launched an all-out attack. [Attention, everyone! Be careful! The lunatic who moved in across f
