New Neighbour OMG

No, not the same neighbour who showed us his massive woody.

We live in a big old converted convent, on the second (top) floor. We've been here for 3 years now, and in that time, we've had 3 new neighbours downstairs in the apartment directly below us. So, last weekend, a new tenant moved in.

And here's the thing. I ran in to her today and I know her from university (which we went to in a different city, ten years ago). The real kicker? I freaking hated her. Like. Seriously. She was a huge b!tch.

I'm so bummed right now! I feel like my personal space, that little patch of area I call home, has been violated. I wouldn't want to live above my friends or family let alone someone I don't like! I feel like I'm going to have to make civil small talk... and frankly, I don't want to have to do any more than wave if I see her and say hi on the way down to the laundry. Tongue Tied

  • Man that totally sucks! Maybe she won't live there very long. And at least you live on top of her so you can stomp around :-)
  • Why did you not like her?  I know for me, years after I graduated college, I bumped into 2 girls that I completely disliked then and immediately all the emotions flooded back.  Well they were now friends of my friends which meant they would be around alot.  I had to dig deep in my soul and make peace with it.  One night we finally had this huge long talk and I admitted to them that I had had previous issues with them.  What I realized though was the issue from years back was exactly that..........an issue from YEARS back.  They were different now and so was I.  And I totally ended up with some great friends.  Is that something you could imagine or do you hold harbored feelings?

  • There was no huge drama, if that's what you're asking. She was merely a terrible human being who had to criticize everyone for everything. The way she treated the guys (who were all my ex-bf's roomates) in her life was just ridiculous too.

    I think what's getting me more is, I just don't feel like my apartment is my own anymore. Because we live in a converted house, the walls are thinner, meaning she can here our voices (though it's muffled) and whatnot. That makes things... awkward... especially in the bedroom. We're pretty quiet, but still... I'm much more comfortable with a stranger hearing us than someone I went to school with for four years.

  • that sucks, I can imagine I would feel the same if certain people moved to my neighborhood.  I think it will be ok though, have you had to talk to her yet?
  • yuck. Sad  i can totally see how your home doesn't feel like your own space anymore.  that totally sucks Sad  here's to hoping she's changed and grown since you last saw her...
