OT: Neighboors Should Be Shot!

[Katchoo]

Do you hate your neighboors? Well tonight takes the cake for me:

The ungrateful teenager living across from me almost died tonight because he was passed out drunk after leaving food on the stove which started a fire.

I was laying in bed (around 4:30am est) when his smoke alarm started going off. I looked out my bedroom window and saw his livingroom lights on, but nothing else. The alarm went off, but came back on again after a minute or so. This time I got dressed and went outside. I peeked inside the livingroom window and saw him passed out on the couch, and a whole lot of smoke building up.

I called 911, and after hanging up with them, a couple of my other neighboors woke up too. We banged on the door and windows but the drunk wouldn't wake.

At that point the Fire Department arrived, and took over for one of my neighboors, who was trying to rip the windows out of their frame so we could get to the teenager.

Now, just as the Fire Department breaks down his door, the drunk a$$ wakes up, and starts to curse and mouth off to the Firefighters! The Fire Dept is trying to ask him if there's anyone else in the house (which there was: his mom and her boyfriend) but all this kid can do is worry about the broken window and door.

I've lived in this neighboorhood for over 10 years, and this kid (I can't think of him as an adult) has been a growing pain in our a$$. He's always drunk or stoned, and the friends and lowlifes he attracts are always drunk or stoned or starting fights (they smashed a neighboor's car winshield earlier in the year). I've heard from the other neighboors that his mom has gotten a few warnings about being evicted if this crap continued, but after tonight's display i'm gonna make sure the landlord knows what's going down. We've already had 2 other cooking fires happen from other nearby neighboors over the Last 4 months, so i'm sure this won't please the landlord at all (we live in a row of two-storey townhouses, if you're wondering).

I just can't believe how he treated the Fire Deptarment: he curses at them for trying to save his family's life! A vengeful part of me wishes I hadn't called 911, and let the little **** die of smoke inhalation. Christ I hate alcoholics...

Anyhoo, that's my 6:00am rant. There's no point in sleeping now, so i'll catch up on some PBW games and try to calm my nerves.

Feel free to share your stories about your horrific neighboors here. I'm sure you guys have doozies too.
