My neighbors are an elderly woman who is obsessed with dragons. She lives in the largest apartment on the floor (that has no interior alley views!)
Then there's the new guy.
And then there's the unfriendliest family ever. Every single one of them is unfriendly. Like sneeringly so. At least dragon lady loves Jamie and Suzie the Dog.
Are they the type that see you and immediately look like they smell shit or the type that always look like they've just smelled shit? I always get the urge to "accidentally" trip the former.
The former. Assholes.
It's not just my family. Whenever they see anyone on the floor they make that face
I grew up in a place where you had to wave to passing cars (just the fingertip off the steering wheel wave, though). But in my hometown it always felt fake, like people only chat you up in the grocery store because they're looking for gossip.
The town where I live now is very friendly and small-town-feeling, which is an anomaly in DC. We lived in another neighborhood for 3 years and didn't know a single neighbor. We've lived here for 1 and we know a ton of people. And it all feels very genuine. I love it.
I know the people above me and the people below me both have babies but I have no idea who they are! I would love to k ow other moms and babies in my building, but most moms I see in the elevator have a little and a big so I don't think they're looking for FTM friends.
So my kitchen window faces the alley and directly across (not far away at all) is my neighbor on the floor (like I'm in the 2 line, that's the 3). The guys who used to live there broke up, and only one of them owned the apartment. They both moved out and the guy who owned it is now letting his brother live there.
I was standing in my kitchen eating baked ziti out of the pan with the spatula (what? H is out.) I looked up to see him staring at me. He waved. I gave a sheepish little wave and ran left the kitchen.
I was just wondering if we had another NYer that hasn't been to their many enviable GTGs.
I am in NYC a lot (H's whole family lives in the 5 boroughs) but I'm not sure if I would go to a GTG. I'm working on getting over my hesitation over meeting internet posters. I think there are a lot of great moms on here and adorable toddlers! My boys would have a blast with other kiddos.
