Over Thinking

For several nights stupid first years have been coming by my apartment window, be loud and obnoxious and smoke pot. While usually the process of smoking a joint doesn’t take longer then hmmm 7 minutes especially with 4+ people. That confounded with the freezing temperatures and rain one would think they would hurry up especially since the time rang in which they would do this was between 2:30-4:00 am.
Now I wanted to say something, but I wasn’t sure if I should right off the bat say “shut the fuck up or I’m calling the cops” or toss a bucket of water out the window. Now the reason I didn’t do any of these things is because I don’t really enjoy confrontation, belong only on a second floor I had to consider that one would be able to throw a brick through my window.
So basically I did nothing and just stayed up till they took their shenanigans away my window so I’d be able fall asleep again.
Until last night when I decided to not be angry and actually do tell them to go.
I opened up my window and said “hey guys do you think you could go somewhere else?” and I hear back “yeah sure sorry” and I said “thank-you” and then they walk away each saying “sorry,” “sorry,” “sorry,” as they walked by my window.
The moral of the story: I really need to stop over thinking things. Not over thinking things will lead to better sleep- in a variety of cases.
But I still hope they never come back.

If they come back, you should just bug them over and over about "wanting some of their pot."
