You’re not overreacting. I would be completely weirded out as well, which weird-out would not be tempered at all by the compassion I would also feel for what is almost certainly moderate-severe mental illness.
I’m sorry he’s right in the middle of what should be a safe space to enter and exit your home.
People are weird. My first real job out of high school was on the lawn/maintenance crew of a nice 350 unit apartment complex.
That was 350 opportunities strangeness, 24/7-365.
A lot of people were/are perfectly normal and go about their regular life stuff.
Then there was the lady who would throw her babies diapers off of the balcony.
And the guy who would leave naked Polaroids of his girlfriend in conspicuous places.
All of the drunks.
The exhibitionist couple.
Someone who would poop in the washing machines.
The guy who just got out of prison for breaking/entering and suddenly a rash of b&e’s break out in all of the buildings around his apt.
The naked guy.
Anyhow, I feel for you. The guy seems to have some real boundary issues.
Maybe spritz the hallway with some pepper spray?
Lol I’ve been craving donuts for 2 weeks now.
Yeah, I suspect this is the case given that my landlord had to contact his family in the past. It’s a weird position to be in. He looks sixty-something and rarely has company.
It’s definitely been interesting (and good) for me after college to live in apartment buildings not dominated by students… no longer living in that bubble.
Yes, thankfully! I haven’t met characters as unique as those you describe.
Haha, I dunno. I feel bad for him, but he also really creeps me out (clearly). I might say something to my landlord soon and see what he thinks.
My senior thesis advisor to be just shot down my idea.
I now have a month to come up with a new one and write a proposal
@ChongLordUno looks like Sheamus from the WWE to me, and that pops in my head every time I see one of his posts
Earlier today I was looking at @SvenG ’s log and I kept seeing how much snow he has to shovel. So in my mind I’m like “I hate snow! How annoying!”Snow saved me from having physics from 5 pm - 9:40 pm today so thank you snow.
I was a CS professor for almost 6 years at a small college only about an hour from where we live now (so similar weather patterns), and only once in that entire time did classes ever get cancelled because of snow!
Count yourself lucky, my dude. (That said, physics is awesome, haha.)
I confess that I just broke my own silly rule that posts in this thread must begin with, “I confess…”
I confess that I just witnessed @SvenG break his own silly rule that posts in this thread must begin with, “I confess…”
I’ve had college classes cancelled for a few days because it was too cold, which was historic. Never for snow.
I’ve already consumed a 500kcal surplus. There is bacon in the fridge and I’m seriously considering going f it and finishing the bacon
I’m not even hungry. I just want tk stuff my face
He sounds weird but my first thought is that he sounds lonely, or mentally unwell like @EmilyQ said.
And creepy.
But lonely.
And creepy.
A (almost) 5-hour long night class? Jeez. I’ve only ever had 3 hours.
Do you go to a university or trade school? I don’t remember.
Yeah, it’s sad. Good to know that I’m not weird for being weirded out 
I won’t speak for @tlgains, but long lab sections like that were the norm for me in college. Glad they never happened on my Fridays!
Yeah… that sounds horrendous.
The longest typical undergrad classes go at my school is 80min. Some of my profs actually give a 5min break during those 80min classes. That’s excessive imo, but highly appreciated
There are studio classes that last 3hrs and some lengthy labs, but nothing like 5hrs and certainly not ever on a Friday
I don’t think I could physics sit for 5hrs lol 
I do have a weekly meeting with a pseudo business partner of sorts that sometimes go 4+ hrs, but even so it’s not a class and most of the time js spent talking about life and stuff
They probably smoke.
My night classes were all like 4 hrs. long and the profs that smoked would call breaks about every 45 min.
I had a 3 hour long college math class. I would always sneak out after the break and eventually stopped showing up. I still got a C in the class, so I guess I got the gestalt of it.
I had two eight-week classes in college that were 8 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. every Saturday. The first was wilderness survival, taught by retired Air Force pararescuemen (PJs), and the second was wilderness medicine, passage of which conferred a Wilderness First Responder licensure.
Wilderness survival, and the spring semester follow-up of land navigation, each required day and overnight trips to practice and demonstrate the courses’ core skills. Those were some of the best classes I’ve ever taken.
