　　Being interesting could mean different things to people, and obviously there is good interesting and bad interesting. And one of my neighbors fell into the “bad interesting” category.
　　I don’t remember when she moved in and what I do know is that she is a renter and comes home late at night around 9.30 PM. Supposedly, she is a lawyer, and I have seen her in the elevator but she has never said a single word to me other than giving me a hostile stare. The reason I know she comes home at 9.30 PM every day is because every time she opens her door, she will slam it really hard so the whole floor can hear her. Many neighbors have complained about her but nothing could be done legally since it is her home and there is no definition on what “loud” is.
　　Then things got worse. She started to bang on her door randomly throughout day with either her hand or some sort of bat, no one knows. And I also noticed that she would talk to herself from time to time.
　　The other neighbors have called the police many times about her and the police did show up. But what the crazy woman did was to deny all the accusations and apparently, there was nothing the police could do either. So finally, I moved out and no longer had to deal with this “interesting” neighbor.
