I just got back to my apartment from school, cuz my professor completely DITCHED us. He showed up and then mysteriously left without telling us anything. Inconsiderate fool. Anyway, that’s not the point.
I get to my building and go up the elevator, all while listening to Ashlee Simpson on my iPod, who is my beloved wife.
~Ding~ The elevator doors open. I’m on my floor, the 14th floor. I start walking through the hallway to get to my door, and I see a man who has a mop. So I realize he is one of the employees who is in charge of maintenance, and since I like greeting people, I smile at him. He then stops what he is doing and says to me:
-”Uh.. I’m waxing the floor…”
His tone was the tone of someone who was trying to tell you “Could you please not do that…?”
So I just stare blankly at him like this—> 8
What the hell do you want me to DO, man? I need to get to my apartment. What, do you want me to stay in the hallway until the wax dries off?? This is not my problem. Just REDO the spots I messed up after I get in my apartment. So what you’re telling me is that if it was the OTHER WAY AROUND, and I had to LEAVE my aparmtent to get to school or something, you wouldn’t let me go through the hallway either??? How does that work? I have to get to my door dude, just let me pass, it’s MY apartment. You can’t tell a resident when he can or cannot pass through the hallway. I bought the damn thing.
-”Is your door that next one?”
-”Yeah, it’s that one right there…”
All this time I’m thinking to myself, “Wow, he’s really not going to let me pass.” And then I thought, “If someone has to urgently go to the bathroom, what is this janitor going to do to prevent said person to go through his wax? IF I had to go do #2 and this guy is in my way telling me that he is waxing the floor I would seriously kill him. Because, dude, I’m in pain and I need to go to the toilet man… my apartment’s right there and yet you’re in my way.”
So at this point, after I tell him which door is mine, he kinda brainfarts and just gets all confused as to what to do.. He kinda starts looking everywhere not sure what to do.
-”Ok, um… ok pass…”
So I walk in disbelief as to what is happening and all I’m thinking is “Regner, you should try to be as light as possible to not screw up his wax… you should tippy-toe”, and that’s when I started tippy-toeing. It took me about half a second to realize how ridiculous I looked. And then I stopped, and walked normally. I don’t really walk, I more like strut… So yeah, I strutted to my door and decided everyone should know about this.
People here are crazy, man… What is wrong? You can’t not let me go in my apartment. It’s just… not normal. So apparently the hallway is off limits right now. I think what this means is that every resident of the 14th floor is basically stuck inside their apartments because the wax guy said so. So here I am until further notice.
