She lives in my building and walks around mumbling racism comments at us every time she sees us. She's all of 90 lbs, tops, and is less than 5 feet tall but she freaks me out so much I will find any excuse not to get into the elevator alone with her. I tried to be friendly the first few months, but she would glare at me and mumble incoherently about " haoles ruining my island." I think she has dementia, and she's probably around 80 years old, but she gives me anxiety. I know it's not just me and my husband, because I'm seen her glaringly mumble-cursing other people.
She was hanging out in the lobby today, so I went through the garage to get out of my building. I am a coward.
Re: I'm scared of a tiny little old lady.
This is a real thing.
There's a guy who works in the offices on the first floor of my apartment building and whenever I come home from work he's outside smoking. And he tries to talk to me. And all he ever wants to talk about is politics and/or the decline of the city and/or how much his job sucks. It's so super awkward that I will walk around the outside of the building to come in the side entrance or walk back up the stairs to exit through the side if I see him out there. My guy is also about 80 and probably just working so he has people to ramble at.
I feel you on this. I'm just trying to get to my car. Please don't talk to me.
