re: #105 Vicious Babushka

Make a batch of something, muffins or cookies and knock on his door. If he answers, give the gift and say you haven’t seen him around, how’s he feeling? If he doesn’t answer, knock on the neighbor’s door. If necessary call the super.

That’s what neighbors are for.

I’ve knocked on his door before when I knew he was home and been ignored. I think he’s mostly deaf. I’ll give it a shot but I think he just won’t answer. The neighbors on his floor are pretty self-absorbed jerks. I think I’ll give a knock and then escalate it to the super/apartment management company, they’re decent people and probably deal with this stuff a lot.

It’s weird, I don’t know this guy, he’s frankly pretty rude and a little creepy, but I’d be really sad if he’d just died alone in his apartment. I keep wanting to find out something good about him.
