Back a few years ago I lived with a woman who I met in college. We lived in a pretty run down 4 unit apartment building. The owner of the building was very old and lived in the apartment next door to us with his daughter, who was very quiet and somewhat socially awkward. I think in the two years we lived there I only even saw the dad a couple of times. The younger daughter basically ran the place. My girlfriend really despised her since they were always haggling over rent and repairs. One evening I came home from school and work and was annoyed that the owners daughter who Ill call V, had parked in a strange way directly in front of our unit's window which made it horribly hard to pull into the other empty spots. I didnt think anything of it but noticed over time it was becoming a usual thing. Due to the age of the building and the poor construction the walls of our unit were horribly thin. It wasnt an issue until a woman moved into the unit above us and I occasionally heard her having sex in the early hours of the morning. The owner of the building and his daughter V next door never had ANYONE and were always dead silent. I always left later in the morning after my girlfriend and one morning as I was drying off just out of the shower, I noticed in the reflection of the bathroom mirror the neighbor woman V walking past our bedroom window to her car which she had started parking outside our window. I quickly covered up. I knew that this woman didnt work since she lived off of the money they were making on rent but noticed nearly every time I was getting ready, she was either getting into her car or retrieving something out of her car? One weekend morning going out to pick up coffee for us the landlords car wasnt parked in front of our window as I walked to my car. I noticed with the blinds turned the way that we always did them to keep the desert sun out, you could see directly into our bedroom since it was slightly elevated from the parking lot level! I immediately wondered how many times the landlady might have seen in? Not long after my GF wasnt feeling well but we needed to drop off a rent check so I was sent next door with the envelope. It was a little late and so I softly knocked on the door and was about to slip the check under the door when all of the sudden it opened. The landlady was nice enough and actually made some small talk and I left. A few nights later while GF was out working, there was a knock at the door and it was the landlady asking if I could help her move something heavy since her dad was too old to do it. I followed her next door and she had a heavy box in her room that she wanted help carrying upstairs to the storage room. As I entered I made a comment regarding it being the exact layout as our unit, except backward. To my surprise V said yes our bedrooms backed up to each other and shared a common wall which the headboards of the beds sat against. I immediately felt embarrassed and to my surprise V said the due to the layout it sounded like my GF and I were "very happy together"! I stammered out a sorry, but she smiled and said, 'its not a problem at all"? I left and thought that comment was weird? A couple weeks later while in the shower one morning, I hears my GF come into the apartment while I was showering, we always left the doors open since it was in the desert southwest and was really hot most of the time. As I was drying off I yelled something to my GF, but the landlady answered saying she was the only one there and needed to check on something that my GF had reported to be broken in the kitchen!! She stood in the bedroom doorway and said she yelled when she entered but I must not have hears her! That creeped me out so much that my GF and I moved out shortly after that! I think back to that time and wonder how many times the landlady next door listened to my GF and I have sex, which we were young and was often!
