I Don’t Know You
When Reddit user Shileka’s boyfriend tried greeting a dwarf resident in his apartment complex, he was gutted by her unfriendliness. But when she needed a friend, he gave her a tiny dose of her own medicine.
“We live in an apartment block, and occasionally have new people move in and out. Yesterday we encountered a new resident, a short red-haired lady who, through dwarfism and food, manages to be about as wide as she is tall.
My boyfriend greeted her with a simple “Hello.” He also tried to say “welcome” but she cut him off with, “Shut up, I don’t know you.” Okay, not the sociable type, neither are we, best not get friendly then!
Today when returning from grocery shopping we found her trying to pick the lock with what looks like a piece of a paperclip because you know, that’s going to work. She’s apparently been at it a while because before we could open the door with our key, a patrol car stopped and an officer called out to her.
The officer asked her why she was breaking in, to which she responded she lived here. She turned to us and said, “They know me.”
My boyfriend smiled and said, “I don’t know you.”
We entered the building after the officer asked us to confirm, and my boyfriend repeated: “We don’t know her.”
Can’t wait to have more contact with her…”
