Nasty Neighbor|討厭的鄰居|讨厌的邻居|やっかいな隣人

Ever had an unreasonably nasty neighbor? They're a pain in the ass, kind of like getting a splinter that you can't pull out. There's this lady who lives below me and she's one of those nasty ones. When I moved in three years ago, I was unpacking boxes at around 9:30 at night and she came up to complain about the noise. I told her I was sorry but that I wasn't actually making that much noise and I would try to be more quiet. Mind you they live two floors below me. Then just as I was about to shut the door she started going off about how her son gets up early and how I woke him up. I felt bad because she made it seem like he was a toddler that I woke up so I apologized again and shut the door. A couple days later I was in the same lift with them and saw that the son was a teenager, I highly doubt he was the one complaining because he had his ipod on blasting music.

So after that incident I thought, well I'm new here so I should be nice, so the next time I ran into her in the lift I smiled and said hi but she had nothing but dirty looks in return. She has also been very rude to my girlfriend as well. One time, while riding the same lift, she even had the audacity to cough back into the elevator while exiting. I mean she actually stepped out then turned her head back towards the elevator and coughed at us. Is that really neccessary? You would figure in the three years that I have living here that she would chill out. I even caught her twice snooping around and looking into the window of my car and the car of a friend of mine.

Then yesterday, as I was carring a very heavy box out of the lobby, she was on the other side of the door about to come in. When she saw me, she decided to take her time going in by slowly blocking the door and then pushed it inwards into me so I had to take several steps back. As I walked past her she told me that I needed to be patient!

 Not once in all the times that she has been rude to me or my girlfriend have we ever said anything back. We've always been polite and just ingored her nasty comments or looks or actions because I feel that people like that will get what they deserve. She's just a bitter, nasty, over weight, unhappy divorcee house wife that has nothing better to do than to hold a three year grudge for nothing. When she was messing with me yesterday I wanted to ask her what the hell her problem was but then I decided she did not even deserve that. When you come across idiots like this, the best thing you can do is ignore them because really all they want is attention and by responding you're just feeding the fire.

I'm moving in a couple months anyway but I truly believe Karma will get her in the end. Most of the people that have been nasty to me have always had something really bad happen to them later. It's simple physics, an action will be met by an equal reaction. If you're nice to people they'll be nice back to you. If you're nasty to people, nasty things will happen to you.

I know this because I used to be a real jerk when I was younger. I would make fun of people or say really nasty things to get attention. During that time nothing good ever happened to me. Once I got into college, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to try to make a change in my life, new people new environment. It could have been less of a conscious decision and more of me becoming more mature but you know what? It really worked. I started to get better grades and lots of great opportunites began to unfold in front of me. Now I've got an awesome career and really believe that's because I stopped being a jerk. Too bad the lady downstairs hasn't realized that yet.

可曾遇到不可理喻的討厭鄰居?他們就象你臀部的隱痛、拔不掉的倒刺。住在我樓下的一位女士就是這樣的討厭鄰居。三年前我搬進來,晚上9:30整理箱子時,她上樓來抱怨我制造了噪音。我告訴她很抱歉,但其實我沒發出那麽大的聲音,我會努力更安靜。順便提一句,他們住在隔我兩層的樓下。正當我打算關門時,她接著喋喋不休說她兒子要早起,是我吵醒了他。我覺得很過意不去,以為自己吵醒了小孩子。於是我再次道歉,關上門。幾天之後,我跟他們同乘一部電梯,看到她兒子已經是少年。我很懷疑是否是他在抱怨,因為當時他正聽著ipod中震耳欲聾的音樂。

 

這次事件發生之後,我想,既然我是新住戶,應該表現好一點,所以第二次在電梯裏遇見她時,我對她微笑打招呼,但她什麽也沒說,還以臭臉相對。她對我女友也非常粗魯。有一次一同搭乘電梯,她竟然在走出去時還回過頭對著電梯裏咳嗽。當時她已經走出電梯,但她仍舊回過頭,對著電梯裏的我們咳嗽。真有這個必要嗎?你可以想見三年來我住在這兒時,她所做過的事了。我甚至兩次發現她到處窺探,往我和我朋友的車窗裏看。

 

昨天,我搬著一個很重的盒子走出大廳,她從門的另一邊打算進來。當她看見我,決定放慢腳步堵住門,把門朝我推進來,讓我不得不退後了好幾步。走過她身邊時,她還跟我說我需要耐心!

 

她不止一次對我或我女友粗魯,但我們什麽也沒說。我們總是保持禮貌,不理會她令人厭惡的語言、臉色或行為,因為我覺得人會有因果報應。她只是一個尖酸、討厭、超重、不快樂的離異家庭主婦,沒別的事可做,三年來只是累積無謂的怨恨。昨天她對我使壞,本想問她到底怎麽回事,但我最後還是決定不問,她不值得。碰到象她這樣的瘋子,你最好就是不理會,因為他們就是想要引起你的註意,理她只會火上澆油。

 

雖然兩個月內我會搬家,但我相信”業”會給她因果報應。大部分曾對我使壞的人後來都發生了很糟的事。簡單的物理學,任何動作都會有相等的反作用力。你對人好,他們也會對你好;你對人壞,壞事就發生在你身上。

 

我了解這個是因為很年輕時我是個不折不扣的壞蛋。為了引起別人註意,我會取笑別人或者說非常討厭的話,那段時間就沒有好事發生在我身上。當我進到大學,我認為這是改變生命的極好機會,新朋友、新環境。這決定真是明智,從那時起我越來越成熟,而且你知道嗎?真的奏效了。我成績開始變好,很多好機會開始降臨在我身上。現在我有這麽棒的事業,我相信是因為我停止做壞人。真可惜樓下的女士到現在還沒醒悟。

                    |           理不尽でやっかいな人が近くにいたことがあるかい?奴らは抜けない刺みたいなもので、ケツをちくちくさすのさ。階下に住んでたのがそんなやっかいな種類の

女性だったんだ。僕が三年前に越してきたとき、夜の9時半に荷物を解いてたんだけど、彼女がやってきてうるさいって言うんだ。僕は謝ったけど、実際のとこ ろ、ほとんど音なんか立ててなかったんだよ。で、もっと静かにしようとしたんだ。いいか、うちの二階下に住んでるんだぜ。僕がドアを閉めようとしたら、彼 女は怒ってまくし立てたんだ。息子がどんなに早く起きなきゃいけないか、そして僕が起しちゃったって。僕は悪いと思ったよ。だってその僕が起した息子はほ んの赤ちゃんみたいな言い方をしたからね。だから僕はまた謝ってドアを閉めたんだ。2、3日してエレベーターでその家族と乗り合わせたんだけど、その息 子っていうのは10代で、僕はこの子が苦情を言うとは思えなくてね。だってその子はiPodを爆音で聞いてたんだぜ。

その小さな事件の後で思ったのさ。僕はここじゃ新参者だし、好印象でなくっちゃいけないって。だからその次に僕がエレベーターで乗り合わせた時に僕はにっ こり笑って挨拶したんだ。なのに、彼女は不満そうな視線を返しただけなのさ。彼女は僕の彼女にも失礼なんだ。ある時同じエレベーターに乗り合わせたら、彼 女はエレベーターを下りる時に大きな咳払いをしたんだ。どういうことかっていうと、彼女は降りる時に頭だけエレベーターに向けて、僕らに向かって咳をした んだ。なんでそんなことをしなきゃいけないんだろう?三年もそこに住んでたんだ。彼女はもうちょっと落ち着けると思わないかい。僕は二度も彼女が僕の車と 僕の友達の車をこそこそ嗅ぎまわってるのを見たよ。

昨日のことだよ。僕はロビーでとても重たい箱を外に出そうと運んでたんだ。彼女はドアからちょうど入ろうとしてたんだ。彼女が僕を見つけてね、わざわざ ゆっくりとドアの鍵を閉めてね、内側に押したから、僕は何歩か戻らなきゃならなかったんだ。彼女のそばを通り過ぎようとするだけで、彼女は言うのさ、耐え ろって!

一度ならず何度も言うよ。彼女は僕や僕の彼女に無礼を働くんだって。僕らはずっと礼儀正しくしてきたし、彼女のひどい発言や視線や行為は全部無視しようと してきたんだ。だって、こんな連中はきっと報いを受けるに違いないと思うからね。彼女はただの怒りに満ちて、最悪で、でぶで不幸な離婚した主婦で、三年間 も不愉快なことを言い続けるしか能がないんだ。昨日彼女が僕に意地悪をした時に、僕は彼女に聞きたかったんだ。何が問題なのかって。だけど考え直したよ、 彼女にはそんな価値なんてないって。こいつらみたいな馬鹿に出会ってしまったら、一番いいことは無視することさ。あいつらはまじで注目されたいだけで、相 手にしたら火に油を注ぐだけさ。

僕はあと2、3ヶ月で引っ越すのさ。僕は本当に業というものを信じててね、そのうち彼女は破滅するさ。僕に卑劣なことをする連中は必ず結局悲惨な出来事が あるんだ。これは単純なことで、ある行為は同じ反応を引き起こすってことなんだ。もしも感じよくしてれば相手も感じよくしてくれる。もしも意地悪をすれ ば、意地悪されるんだ。

僕はもっと若かった頃本当に抜けててね。僕は周りの人を面白がらせようとしたり、注目を浴びようと本当に嫌らしいことを言ってたんだ。その頃は何も良いこ とはなかった。大学に入った時に、僕はこれは人生を新しい友人と新しい環境で変えるとてもいい機会だと考えたんだ。もっと無意識的な決断だったんだけど、 大人になるにつれてどうなったと思う?本当に有効だったんだ。もっと良い成績をおさめられるようになったし、もっと運が開けてきたんだ。これまで僕は素晴 らしい経歴を築いてきたんだけど、これは僕が馬鹿をやめたからなんだって本気で信じてるんだよ。かわいそうに、階下の女性はこのことがわかってないんだ。

She sounds like a very sad, troubled woman who thinks the whole world is to blame for her unhappiness, and that attacking anyone else could lessen her problems. No wonder her son needs an iPod on full blast.

If only the law of reciprocity always kicked in in this lifetime. Sometimes, I think, it does not. I think you have to be kind, polite and tolerent of others because that is how you wish to be treated yourself, and you can't really worry about whether or not someone will get &quot;theirs&quot; for not being that way. Some people are greatly rewarded for being despicable and some of the best people suffer horribly for no apparent reason. One of life's mysteries.

Mannnn, we have this japanese biatch that lives next to my mom and dad. She yells when we swim or when dad plays music (in the afternoon with the windows and doors shut). It's really no point fighting back, even the cops come and hang out and laugh. Although I've cussed at her with dad, it really doesn't help. hahaha. Ryan will tell you all about it. In the meantime, how about a going away present? Stick a couple of &quot;how to be happy&quot; and some self help books in her mailbox.

You're a better man than me because I would've went G.H.E.T.T.O on her and put Jenny Craig applications on her door when she wasn't looking but I guess you did the right thing because I too believe in karma!

Daniel, I've never actually stopped by your page before, but I really liked this entry. No matter what our cultural or religious background, how we treat others is of paramount importance. Thanks for reminding all of us. Best, Elena Stevenson
