Ooh Naledi, SO true. Like I'm supposed to know my neighbour's gonnna be arriving home at 18:07, just as he arrives. When I moved into this complex there was not a single child. Now there's 9. And kids play outside. I can't chase them all. I have my side of things covered. I don't go walking around in my ad outfits. They know Nadia as the auntie who works in the garden in big old grey tracksuit and tackies without laces.
One day as a regular was leaving, this old oom from downstairs was shouting/calling me. Fortunately its a regular to whom I explained the situation next time he came. I'm the go-to person here. He had been trying to get hold of another tenant who was dying slowly but surely. And after phoning and knocking and getting no response, he called me in a panic...dunno what I was supposed to do, but anyway the client totally understood. Turns out the guy was in hospital.
