Seeing too much of my neighbor — Brooklynian

Seeing too much of my neighbor

So my downstairs neighbor, a very well-fed gentleman in his 60's, has taken to hanging out in his underwear. I guess it's too hot for clothing or something.

I've never been very comfortable with him to begin with, because he hits on me and tells me how he sees my comings and goings every time I see him. I also can only understand about a quarter of what he's saying because he has a really thick accent.

So on Saturday I went into our building's laundry room and he was sitting in there in his underwear and he started hollering at me. I *think* he felt like I was taking more time with one of the dryers than I should, but it was hard to make out what he was saying. Plus I was trying not to look at him. I think he thought we were just having a conversation, but he was practically shouting, and I was beyond uncomfortable. I ended up grabbing my wet laundry and bolting.

He seems fairly harmless, but still -- now that he's all Captain Underpants all the time, it's becoming a little creepy.

I would just complain to building management, except that our building management is a bunch of idiots. Plus -- get this -- he WORKS for building management. So I really don't trust them to not tell him who complained, which just seems like it would cause more problems.

I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?

  • What would happen if you started taking pictures of him and posting them on the buildling noticeboard?
  • Have any male friends who can hang around a bit? Especially when you know he's in his underwear in the laundry room?

    Then again, "Hey...this is a public area. You need to put some clothes on" might work.
  • Yeah, I'd feel a little more confident about a more direct approach if I could understand what the guy is saying when I talk with him. But one of my friends suggested mentioning it to the super, who's a really nice guy and can probably be trusted say something to him without revealing who he heard it from, so that's what I'm going to try.
  • Good luck with that and let us know what hapens.
  • "Captain Underpants"

    That was hilarious! Maybe you should just start calling him that.

    On a side note, at least he wasn't naked. I saw was too much of my nekkid landlord when I lived in a hippie town and we shared a 2 floor house.
  • hummmmm, that sounds a little creepy...good luck
  • I hope we're talking about boxers.

    Sadly, we're not.

    He's been a bit more clothed lately since it got a bit cooler, but one of my neighbors *swears* he was standing in his living room window buck nekkid a couple of days ago.
  • For the building message board:
    Dear APT 2R
    PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!
    thx

    Good luck with Capt Underpants. Inside his own apt is fair game, but in the laundry room? Hell no!
  • he he

    used to live nextdoor to two cute lesbians who sat down to their Christmas dinner naked, their trussed turkey was clearly visible from our adjacent living room window. Ahhh.
