Apartment Intruder!

Last night, when I walked into the front door of my apartment building, there was a girl standing in the vestibule.

She was standing next to the intercom, but she wasn't talking into it...she was YELLING! Obviously, she & the person on the other end were having a bit of a tiff...

Ummm...I do not want to be a part of this drama...Where are my keys??

As I'm standing there, searching through my bag for my house keys to get me in the security door, she begins to call out vulgar names to the guy on the other end, to which he is saying things like, "Just calm down."

But she keeps going...

Geez...take a chill pill, mama!

At this point, I figure that he probably doesn't want her to come upstairs, or he would've let her in by now. So, I stick my key in and open the security door just enough to squeeze my way in, and then give it a little tug to pull it shut behind me...this way Miss Crazy cannot rush into the building behind me.

HOWEVER, I made the mistake of looking back at her, because I can see that she had reached for the door in order to follow in after me. She looked a little shocked as the door slammed shut with her on the outside.

Then I hear her yell at me, "Asshole!"

Oh yeah...This is all MY fault here, isn't it...

Look...First of all, she was there to bug him, and why the hell would I let someone into my building to bother another tenant OR possibly do damage?

...and Second, she is not MY guest, so it's not my responsibility to let her in!

So...I stop at the mailboxes to grab my mail, and then walk over to the elevator to take it upstairs. Within this time, some other girl enters the front door and holds it WIDE OPEN for the screaming lunatic chick!

Oh Great...Now she is in the building, and she's taking the elevator up with me. I glance over at her, and she is giving me a dirty look. She said, "That was rude!"

Oh...Bitch wants to fight, now. Ok...

I know I should have let it go at this point, but I just couldn't... So I replied, "I don't know you...and clearly you don't have a key."

She told me, "Why don't you mind your own business?"

I answered, "No offense, but when you are trying to get into my building, it becomes my business!"

I don't know...

Would you have done the same thing?
Should I just have let her follow in behind me?

I mean...I am not a front door Nazi.

There are people who piggy-back their way in the door after me all the time, and generally I have to use my best judgement. If you look familiar, or non-threatening, then usually I don't do anything.

However, clearly this b*tch was confrontational...who knows what she could've done!

Also...what about Delivery guys? I find it VERY odd that sometimes a pizza delivery guy will be at the intercom, and then just walk in after me... Ummm, HELLO!...Don't you have to tell the tenant who ordered the food that you are here?

Look...I have no problem letting the door shut on certain people. I know it appears rude, but really, it's not personal...

I'm so glad that 'Psycho' didn't get off of my floor...because then I'm sure I would've had to listen to them fight and argue all night long! I prefer to watch 'Chelsea Lately' in peace, y'all...
