Then, a girl in the elevator was totally fucking with me, and trying to hold a conversation with me in Haitian. I also figured out my neighbor who I like is Trinidadian - not Dominican. Whoops. She came downstairs Saturday morning, and she was screaming because someone had put their garbage in the elevator. I can see her frustration. Apparently, she used to clean the building not too long ago, but stopped because it was like trying to sweep sand off a beach.
The ultimate battle royale of the weekend though, was being accosted by a 15-year-old GIRL! Banshee and her older sister - we'll call her Ugly-Fat-Monster-Who-Will-Die-Alone or (UFMWWDA). They are arguing on the 4th floor about whether or not to get in the elevator, and I'm standing there staring with the dogs. Finally, I say "can you guys just decide" and this starts UFMWWDA off on a rant, about how they are going in and going up. I said, "Well, I'm going down." She then throws banshee into the elevator and starts blabbering about how if my dogs or I come near her, she's going to kick us. I'm gripping Kielbasa's leash so hard to prevent myself from slapping her ugly, little mouth that my hands turning white. I say, "if you kick my dog, I'm going to call the police." She says, eloquently, "I ain't scared of the poh-lease. And I ain't scared of white people." The latter, became like a chant. So there I am, her screaming about us Whities, and Banshee screaming and Kielbasa barking at the mayhem.
I had to call my aunt and ask if I should genuinely call the police, which was an awesomely awkward call. We decided UFMWWDA has enough awfulness heading her way in life, and to add to it would be unnecessary.
