Incompetent
I hate it when people ring my doorbell. If I were living here longer I would disconnect the thing. I sometimes even get my hopes up...maybe it's the postman with a present! But no, it's always just some stranger standing there looking purposeful.
This time, I don't know. Maybe a neighbor? But I'm still in my pajamas so I peek out the peep hole and stare and wait for him to go, but he rings the bell again. Fortunately the washing machine is running so I don't think he could hear me sneaking up and then sneaking away. When the washing machine's not running the floor creaks even if you tip-toe so they know you're peering and ignoring them.
I hate sneaking around my own house but I'd feel creepier if I didn't and I can't use the intercom effectively because I mostly wouldn't understand what they want without the requisite hand-waving and I don't want to let strangers know there's a deaf and dumb girl living here alone.
Tangentially Victoria says I quote Kurt Cobain far too often. Apparently I need a new quote: "Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you."
