Ways to Keep Order and Intimidate Your Annoying Neighbors September 9, 2009
1. Wear an authentic military shirt, the workout t-shirts.
2. Be at least 34% bigger than them.
3. Eyebrows. Serious eyebrows. One skeptical arch I find works well.
4. Eye contact. Ok, stare ferociously.
5. Notoriously get a lot of packages.
6. Authoritative knocking. Use the heel end of your palm, no knuckles. Really shake those hinges. Not enough to crack door (if you want security deposit back).
7. Train cat to growl.
8. Always enter building on cell phone in mid-conversation such as, “I told him to do it, but he didn’t and you know what happens to people who don’t. … … Yep, bald as can be.”
9. Vanity license plate: APT RULR (get it get it, apt or apartment whoa two meanings)
10. Be besties with the super/landlord.
