Quitting/putting collecting on pause

It used to bother me, but I mostly let it slide anymore, unless people are just really being a dick about it. The older I get, the more I see that most of the time, it really is either jealousy or curiosity that manifests itself badly. God knows I'm not the smoothest person when it comes to expressing myself at times. My biggest thing with the Super and his guys is I just don't like people in my personal space. I know it's literally their job, but for the most part, unless it's a super serious issue like this, I prefer to just figure out how to fix it myself. Especially in this day and age, my apartment is like the one place I have control over, and when I don't have control over it, I just feel wildly uncomfortable, and that's when I'm susceptible to the little things.

I anticipate tomorrow to be a particularly rough day, because not only will I have the guys back in my space, but I'm not allowed to use my shower or bathroom sink until the plumbing issue gets fixed. Joshy needs his hot showers, let me tell ya. They're lucky I'm still able to use the toilet, otherwise I'd just piss on them the moment I start to feel any judgement. You know, really assert my dominance and mark my territory.
 
The only a-hole experience that I have had as a collector was from a cashier at Wal-Mart. Early morning. On the way to work. Had found the helmeted Big Barda with the mega-rod held up. (Gives you an idea of how long ago it was. ) Paid. Bagged. The cashier comments: "I hope you enjoy your doll." I smiled as sweetly as I could and said: "I'm sure I will." And went to work. None of her business what I am buying. It's my money and my hobby.
