"My downstairs neighbor built a literal shrine to Trump in front of our building. It started with a couple of cheap American flags around Memorial Day, but it grew to include campaign signs, fake flowers, and a little platform with a framed picture. I finally got in touch with our landlord and had them take it down because he started leaving Catholic prayer candles (with Trump's face on them) lit overnight, unattended, under a tree. It was a fire hazard. He got evicted shortly after, and I asked the maintenance guy what happened. Apparently, he'd rewired multiple rooms in his apartment and built an extremely unsafe neon-and-candles shrine inside instead."
"I found out later he and his brother used to own a gun shop in the area and had been busted and shut down for selling illegal weapons to locals and several Russian customers overseas. That tracks."
"My best friend and I moved into an apartment with a common driveway that bisected the entire center of the block. Our parking was directly behind our apartment. When my roommate called me to look at the apartment, he told me, 'Make sure you park in front of the barn,' which was across from our parking spots. I pulled in and exited the car when this old lady came flying out of the corner house, yelling and wielding a broom. She chased me around the car, trying to hit me with the broom. I looked at our apartment, and there was my roommate laughing his butt off. This became an initiation for all our friends. We'd tell them to park in front of the barn. Then, we'd sit out back with some beer and wait for them to arrive. We'd laugh like fools when we heard the screen door and the screaming as she chased them around their car. I'm sure we'll burn in hell, but it was great fun."
