Another ring camera popped up and the genius of its location gets my respect…
It’s been months since the next door neighbor, with the open blind policy, moved in. I spoke about complaining to the leasing office about their double doorbell cameras and they were repositioned. So after a while I just decided to accept the fact that their blinds are permanently open because…I don’t own the building. I’ve come out at midnight…and I’ve come out at 6am…no matter the time…the blinds are open. Since my complaints…I found out there is a why-hee-tay person living there and there is now furniture that’s visible but the blinds still stay open. This apartment faces the parking spot I park in so every time I got out my car I felt like I was being watched. But there’s been so much going on these last few weeks that I had stopped paying attention to my paranoia. Then…yesterday came. While I was backing into my spot…I looked up and saw another neighbor, in the building across from mine and directly across from my apartment, now has a ring camera…on their window sill. True…story.
At this point I feel like a cELeBriTy because…“who you know?…I’ll wait.” I took a picture of it and sent it in an email to the leasing office because…Karening is a passion of mine. I did my best not to sound like the paranoid lunatic that I sounded like when I complained about my other neighbor that still has her camera pointing towards my door but…I am who I am. The office was closed when I sent the email and they’re closed today so I’ll have to wait and see how they respond to my request for them to answer why someone, who doesn’t stay on the ground floor, would need a camera monitoring the parking lot. I promise I wouldn’t assume that I was this watch worthy…if I didn’t have so many other examples of me attracting this kind of attention in the past and present. I’m honestly THE MOST boring person to watch because I literally do nothing but…here we are. I leave out to run errands, get my niece, or to exercise my body and/or my lungs. Outside of that my car doesn’t move. I rarely wear real clothes because yoga pants are comfortable and I have no sneaky links. Literally nothing to see here. Why anyone would put this much effort into making me think I’m being watched is crazy.
The positioning of the window camera is so obvious…that it looks like they wanted it to be obvious. ?! These neighbors have been here for at least the last two years and all of a sudden…there’s an obsession with the parking lot. I told y’all…this sh*t keeps getting weirder. This is honestly one of the reasons becoming a homeowner scares me because ‘spied and seek’ has obviously become a thing. Living next to people that I feel are monitoring my movements makes my skin crawl but I’m now wondering if I’m being asked to mentally prepare myself for this inevitability…so I’m not as stressed out when I find myself in this situation…with a mortgage instead of a lease that will eventually end. I can’t do anything about my disdain for the persistence of the Neighborhood Watch…but I can find ways to get comfortable living around discomforts that I can’t change. But…I don’t waaaant to.
Love,
Choosy
