Random Act Of Unexpected Kindness...It does exist 1994

There was a woman that lived in my building years ago! she was such a B!!! she would get cars towed,complain about noise,call cops on new years eve??? mean mean...long story short I was having the worst time in my life...not being able to focus and trying to survive. one day I was about to leave for work and I saw her through my blinds put this poem in my mailbox...I didn't read it until I got to work thinking it was a nasty complaint or one of her talks about...blue could you not have your tv on after 9 pm? Yes 9! Or my favorite... your cat and you make too much noise...my cat? when I got to work I read it. Later after coming home from work I asked her...I said... did you leave this in my mailbox? she immediately said no! (defensive) I said really? not telling her I saw her put it there...then I realized she was turning flush...I said oh OK...gee I wish I knew who did...I'd really like to tell them Thank You! she just kept watering the pavement...I said...well sorry for bothering you...she was silent and looked away. remembering her makes me smile. fyi she still was a complainer...yep.

Dear complainer...(s) You liked me...you really liked me!!! :)


Here is poem she put in my mail box...
