It’s your first year in college, you move in, and your dorm neighbor turns out to be a complete dick. The guy that lives directly next door to you, shares a wall with you and everything, yeah, him. He plays loud music, has obnoxiously loud sex, laughs too loud at videos, and yells annoyingly loud at his video games. After a week of dealing with it, you finally knock on his door and ask him to keep it down. You know what he says? He tells you to fuck off and slams his door in your face. So you know what you do? You start blasting your own music, singing loudly to it. Playing horror movies at full volume, slamming your wardrobe too hard, talking too loud on the phone. Well played. Now he shows up at your door. What do you do? Exactly the same. “Fuck off”. Door slammed in his face. Now you’re even. He respects that. So next time you show up at his door for being too loud, he gives you his number. He says “if I’m ever being too loud, just text me. I’ll be quiet.” Then what started as mutual, unadulterated loathing, turns into something more.
