Free lunches around here usually includes some agency coming in trying to sell us something – insurance, health plan, senior transport, etc., so I’ll pass.
I went down to the Community Room today to sign up for the potluck.
Originally, my mind went to deviled eggs dyed green. However, at the price of eggs, the drama of eggs failing to peel, I signed up for guacamole (from Costco or the deli) instead. Someone has already signed up for chips but, if I can find green potato chips, that’ll be cute. I vaguely recall seeing red and green chips at Walmart upon occasion. Hopefully, this will be one of those occasions when specialty chips are available.
Older Sister was in the Community Room when I went down, so I went back upstairs, grabbed that starter needlepoint kit, went back down and got her going. So that's off my to-do list.
Elsewhere in the Community Room, conversation turned to the incident where a female resident threatened to kill Creepy Guy with a box cutter.
Turns out, the woman involved is a fairly new resident – barely here a month.
That figures. Creepy Guy always tries to snake up to the new females, and he doesn't take rejection well, usually retaliating with vulgar language. So it's safe to assume, she didn't like what he said to her, he didn't like being rejected and said or did something that caused her to become so fearful or angry that she wild-out and got herself arrested for pulling out a box cutter, threatening to kill him.
Turns out you can’t live here after threatening to murder someone.
She’s been evicted.
In fact, the blinds were closed in her unit not because she was embarrassed over being arrested and was hiding out, but because she wasn’t in her unit. She was notified, while in jail, that the law says she can’t return to the complex, that she should consider herself evicted.
All her stuff is still in the unit.
Some of the ladies who’d filed complaints about Creepy Guy, said they’d gone to the office to support the female resident, but were told, “There’s nothing we can do. It’s the law.”
I don’t get it. I get how the complex has to protect residents from threats of violence, but I don’t get how the woman is evicted and he’s still here -- even though one woman went to an attorney and had her attorney file, with the office, a formal complaint against Creepy Guy.
With that woman, Creepy Guy was told by management to not talk to her but, today, she informed me that he was still trying to intimidate her – coming up behind her, walking close, saying mean things.
It’s gotten to the point where she’s been advised to turn on her cell phone and tape when he approaches. That seems to be working in that he’ll turn around and go in a different direction when he sees her recording.
This takes me back to last week, when Creepy Guy all of a sudden began staring at me and I wondered if he was trying to intimidate me.
In this life, I've worked myself through and survived masters at the art of cruel, intimidating, evil machinations, so I hope this old fool is not so stupid or so sick in the head that he thinks he can intimidate me because, trust me, he doesn’t want a piece of this – well actually he does and is angry because he can’t get it but, at any rate, my plan for the next time was to stare back. However, I’m thinking that idea of taping will send him scurrying back to whatever hole he crawled out of.
