Good times
This guy’s story sounds like anything but “good times.” Usually, a dude wearing a yellowed wifebeater while stoking the flames in an oven isn’t good news. He could be burning evidence (our initial thought after reading this post), or maybe he’s just some madman who’s always hot. Either way, there’s nothing particularly wholesome or positive about the situation.
But you probably had to be there to feel the vibes. Maybe ten years into the future when you’ve made it out of your first apartment, the crudeness can be somewhat endearing. Sort of like what happened to the guy whose neighbor’s apartment got shot up. It was dangerous, but looking back, it was actually pretty nice.
