The Neighbours Downstairs

The neighbours that live below us are crazy. They fight all the time. Over the past few months, it used to be just the woman yelling at the man. Recently, after some soul-searching, he's discovered some of the vertebrae in his spine and has started yelling back. At times, it's hair-raising, the things they say to each other. I couldn't imagine anyone saying things like this to their partner. For example, this morning:

Woman (with a wailing contemptous voice), "WHY do we have to argue all the time?!?? Do you know why?!?

No reponse.

Wailing continues, "It's because you're an ASSHOLE! YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!!!!"

I ponder whether the poor guy downstairs prefers being branded an "asshole", versus the reigning violent insult: "sub-human."

No kidding - she called him "sub-human" a few months ago.

Ridiculous
