The Typical LA Attitude

I hate my neighbors for a lot of different reasons. My neighbors are constantly fighting, or screaming to call 911 over stupid dating related bullshit. Apparently it’s a dire emergency when you decide to break up with your boyfriend for the umpteenth time, and he’s following you to your car to ask you to reconsider.

Anyway... 2 weeks ago, I heard an unsettling scream for help. It was loud/scary enough that a few of my neighbors decided to peek out from their apartments to get a look. I couldn’t see whomever had screamed for help, but I could see a woman in a Prius talking to someone and asking "Do you need help? Do you want me to call 911?" I kinda shrugged and figured that whomever it was, was getting the help she needed from that nice lady driving by.

So I go back to my computer and my friends on IM guilted me into going downstairs. So I went, and no only was there no Prius, there was no lady anywhere. I was the only person on the entire street. AND GUESS WHO WAS THE ONLY PERSON THERE WHEN THE COPS CAME 2 MINUTES AFTER I GOT DOWNSTAIRS?! So naturally, they’re asking me a bunch of questions. It looks very suspicious when you tell the cops that someone on IM told you to do something btw. I don’t think they found anything, but they sure had fun questioning me.

Gee Prius lady, how about you show some fucking decency for your fellow human beings and stay around until the cops show up so I don’t look like a jackass, or maybe your time is just too important. I've actually called 911 for strangers before, and I've had the decency to wait around until someone shows up. Maybe I'm taking the wrong view of this. Maybe it was a neighbor of mine on an LSD trip, and she went back upstairs. I hate my neighbors.
