Myxilplix Turbocharged June 10, 2014 Share June 10, 2014 I have only one exception to my hermit-like existence. There is a mentally handicapped boy/man living further down the corridor and he loves his basketball, everyday he'll be down at the court alone, throwing and mostly missing. He just loves throwing his basketball at the hoop, doesn't seem to bother him whether it goes in or not. He's my best buddy in the neighbourhood. I'll always wave to him and he happily waves back. Once he met me on the stairs and followed me back to my flat to have a peek inside (he was very impressed). Sometimes when I'm walking past he'll run out of the court to come shake my hand and he always gets a huge smile on his face. Awesome dude. I guess everyone else in the neighbourhood just ignores him, seems mentally-handicapped people are still a taboo in some walks of life. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess everyone else in the neighbourhood just ignores him, seems mentally-handicapped people are still a taboo in some walks of life. think that poor dude got hardly any friends looks like you are his only friend man! The floor at our place is like a playground.. 4 adjacent units all with kids (multi race - no need to mention who's who's race) - no corridor units kids play together outside our units and share toys. Thus, while looking after them we got to talk more with our neighbors... Even borrow tools from me if they doing some DIY at their place. Got one time one neoghbor wnent on holiday asked my wife if can look after the pet tortoise.. When our turn came to go on holiday they asked for my hp number to call or sms us if anything need. Their kids and mkne can also go to each othwrs housea to play.. Share snacks also.. Each one knows their "limits" in terms of space or talk so we get along quite well.. sometimes the "noise" from children playing brings cheer and positive energy to the households 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
