Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Okay, this is a hilarious story, so let me set it up properly.

I live in a relatively quiet building. There are only around 8 apartments, filled with single people and couples all under 40. Everyone keeps to themselves, so it's rare I really say anything to anyone beyond "hello."

My neighbors across the hall are even more extreme. There have been times when this twenty-something couple deliberately walks faster or averts their gaze to avoid even basic pleasantries like "Hello."

So imagine my surprise when, Saturday night, around midnight, I'm in my bed reading when I hear snoring. Really loud snoring. It sounds like it's coming from inside my apartment.

Did new neighbors move in, and this is what I have in store for me, I wonder. I get up and put my ear to the wall. No, it's not coming from there...but it's ...so...loud.

I go into my bathroom, with thoughts that maybe some wild homeless man broke in and is sleeping in my bathtub. You never know. No. No one in the kitchen either. Why is it, then, that while I stand near my front door. Oh. My. God. No way.

I look out my peep-hole and sprawled in front of my door is my neighbor from across the way. Snoring like a mo-fo. In shock, I open the door and try to wake him up. "Dude," I whisper, shaking him, "wake up! You don't want to sleep here." But apparently he does. Whoa. He's out. So I did what any normal person would do: I took a picture! Haha.

At one point (looking through the peep-hole, of course) I see his girlfriend come home. She turns around, sees him on the ground, looks at him for a long time...and goes back into her apartment. WTF?!

The next morning, he was gone. Thank God! But he left his keys. (How'd he get back in? So many questions...so few answers.)

So I put his keys downstairs with a note that said, "Someone had an interesting night." With a smiley face. Geez, louise, his alcohol shame must've been intense...

That is hilarious! I don't think I would've slept all night, watching out the peephole to see how it played out.

Ha! Yeah, I'm pretty nosy, I probably would have done that, too.

I always say, you know, you're never safe from ending up on the internet.

Giggle I had a similar thing happen to me!!

During my freshman year I lived in a co-ed dorm. My mom had come up to visit me and was staying in my room since my roomie was gone. So at 1 in the morning I hear this insane pounding on my door. I get up to check it out and find this guy ,that lived a few doors down from, sitting on the floor with blood shot eyes looking WASTED. I then look next to him and find the guy that lived across from me passed on the floor in front of my door. Apparently BS eyes guy dragged the passed out guy for about a mile back to our dorm and couldnt get into the room because his roomie wasnt there He asked me what he should do. I looked at the passed out guy and saw that he was lying on his stomach so if he threw up he wouldnt choke on it. Then I asked if he was breathing. Yes. I said to just leave him there and I went back to bed

Thank you so much for posting this! I would have taken a photo too! Excellent.

I'm with Rubia - my favourite part of the story is the gf ignoring him and heading off to bed alone. She was so right!

Giggle this is so freaking funny!
I love that she left him there.
My sister stripped her husband naked and left him on the porch one time with the help of a couple friends when he was totally drunk passed out once when they were dating. Why? Have no idea.

What would life be without the bizarre random occurrences often induced by extreme alcohol consumption?

haha she prob couldn't carry him!

JessNess I had a similar experience in college too- only my door didn't lock well so the guy came into our room! he tried to climb in my roomies bed (thinking it was his) and she was in it so he tried to climb in MY bed (again thinking it was his prob) and i was in it half asleep and i kicked him out. and then he laid down on our floor and passed out!! by this time we realized that it was the kid from across the hall- and he must have thought he was in his room- so we left him there. the next morning he work up and my roommates bf was sitting at her desk and he had NO idea where he was lol. ah college!!

Hahaha! I, too, have a few similar stories from college. One of my fave pics from back then is of a friendly acquiantance sloppily passed out in a hallway, but still firmly clutching his brownbagged "fo'ty" of malt liquor.

36

HAHAHAA, that's crazy! But really hilarious! HAHAHA!
But if I was his girlfriend I wouldn't just go back to my appartment. Really weird, that.. ;P

the girlfriend might have been used to that behavior from him and just decided to leave him there.

great pic!

That is really funny, but if I was the GF I would have rolled him over so he didn't snore so loud. HA HA lol. God i needed that. :

funniest thing i've heard in a while

Sat, 10/06/2007 - 4:18pm

46

That is so funny! I probably would have woke him up and tell him to stop snoring! I totally hate snoring! I probably would've freaked out when I heard snoring that sounded like it was in my apartment. I would have seached around with a baseball bat or something in my hands.

Poor man. Not only did he drink himself stupid, but his girlfriend ignored him AND he's ended up being a laughing stock on the internet. Bless. have you seen him since or has he died of shame?
