[@DrinkYourNailPolish]

One of my mom's friends told me how when she and her husband were newlyweds back in the 70s they had their first apartment. Well one day her husband came home from work and the landlord was in their apparent snooping around. He literally told her husband that b/c he owned the building he had the right to come in whenever he wanted. They moved out of there like a week later.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Smart couple.

[@christinepettett9138]

​@Nanimo Smart couple my ass, someone broke into their apartment and they didn't inform the police; great! In moves the next victim. Are you in the market for a new apartment? Got a great local for you.

Wow.

[@PsychGirlRaven]

Okay but why are you telling us? Not exactly a scary story, and depending on the state he may have been correct.

[@pamelameckley5040]

I feel bad for the grumpy old guy in the last story. To be fair, he gave her a good reason to think that he was guilty because of how upset he was about having to share. And her things being gone through and him wearing a similar scarf made him look guilty. Her lesson was to not judge a book by its cover but I would add to not to give anyone a reason to think that you would be capable of and most likely be guilty of such things as stealing and pilfering through other's belongings. Try to be kind and considerate to others, even if you don't necessarily feel like it. Thank you Let's Read! 💯🙏

[@ZephyrinSkies]

I agree, so glad it worked out and it had a wholesome ending, but yeh don't go antagonizing people.

[@cornerofyoureye1885]

These stories are creepy! Especially story 3! Seeing someone you've just had a date with, yet alone your neighbour behave like that outside your door through the peephole. No thanks! I'm surprised that some of the people in these stories haven't immediately moved out! Great job Joel! 🖤

[@gogglepeewie9125]

These stories are made up and the narrator needed to fill his time slot, that's why the people didn't move out like most sane person would do in actual reality

[@mudkipman1]

Story 3 stuck with me. Not going to lie when you hear cute woman stalker stories sometimes I wish that were me, but it's clear that she had actual bad intentions. Probably wanted to Rob him or even worse.

[@c.w.8200]

My worst story is, I moved into a pretty nice apartment in a good area, next door is a family, the woman is a complete psycho and starts fights almost daily, she throws stuff at the wall, yells at her little children for nothing, like when they don't get dressed fast enough, absolutely awful person. As long as her boyfriend is there it's not bad enough to move out but pretty soon he's had enough and leaves. She has a friend move in to pay the rent and they escalate into alcoholism, chain smoking in the hallways, raucous fights during the weekend, I complain and tell the friend that it's not allowed to smoke in the hallway, she loses it and chases me two flights of stairs, I write a letter to the landlord, they let me out of my lease early.

[@rmi222]

Had my front door kicked in by a drunken man looking for his girlfriend at my previous rental. We had been there just one month and our daughter was only 3 months old. I’ll never forget her crying while I was on the phone with 911 as this man pounded on our door thinking that was it and hiding her in our closet. Pretty traumatic, we broke the lease and moved out at the end of that month because it just didn’t feel like a “home” anymore.

[@LakeReeder]

I wouldve been terrified irl but the image of him rocking back and forth in a dim, dusty and concrete floored storage room, wearing the scarf and then hearing "this is my scarf little lady" in Joel's gravely old man voice cracked me up so hard.

[@taesha896]

I need closure on story 3! 😆 What was she doing and why!? What did she want? Why didn't she ever respond again? How did you never run into her again? Go over to her door right now and ask all these questions! I NEED to know lmao 🤣

[@fleacythesheepgirl]

I know like what was her plan? You can’t really rob someone when you live in the same building unless she was planning to kill him too? Like what was in her back pocket? Taser? Knife? Adult toy?

The third story was hella creepy. What was that chick playing at? He definitely dodged a bullet, all thanks to his 3 am bladder. :)

[@sarahoshea9603]

Mines 3am too, we should take a poll n see if that'd the preferred pee time

I have a scary apartment story…finding out the heater barely works and telling my landlord about it and she said “it’s fine it’s just old” and seeing the temperature inside my house drop so low that the bottle of honey froze in the kitchen…oh and I have kids lol.

[@danielkosko2908]

Our landlord turned the heat off upstairs after the neighbors moved to save a few dollars. Then 2 pipes burst on Christmas Eve and it took him 4 days to fix it🤦‍♂️ our heater used water so we lost heat and we also have a kid

"I texted her a few times after I avoided her murdering me and I also left a note under her door but unfortunately she didn't respond." "I know I'm not the best at dating but I felt it was unusual for someone to stand outside my door all night." Dude, I refuse to believe anyone is this naive. Naive isn't even the right word it's just....I don't even know.

[@kristoffseisler2163]

Only a normal person would've texted her again after her "Clever boy" text to bait more evidence for the cops but not this guy; he thinks he must've misunderstood the whole situation.😆

[@PraiseThaDon]

He's a fool, the moment he saw her at his door he should've been otp with 12. 3 options. This stories fake, he has 0 experience with women or he was desperate. He also stated he stayed there 6 months after that situation and, you didn't see her once? Man whatever

[@ladydee1andonly]

Thank you 😊

[@luckiestunluckypersonever4278]

@@ladydee1andonly I found KZbins scary videos a couple years ago. Before I found it, I was always thinking about when I was a little girl, sitting in my moms bedroom listening to the AM radio. She would have these weird stories playing, with a sound track of creaking floors and squeaking doors. Basically scary stories. I wished I could hear them again as an adult right? But I just didn’t think that was ever going to happen. Lol Then my daughter asked me if I ever heard of mrballen. After that you could say my wish was granted. I never knew that KZbin had anything else other than music. Boy am l slow! Ever since I have been here listening in my bedroom to every thing I can get my hands on. So I was around 51 when I found out that I had been missing out on so many wonderful things KZbin has to offer. I didn’t even know what a podcast was. I’m 53 and I’m enjoying my life so much better now. LOL

[@bioshawna]

​@@luckiestunluckypersonever4278so glad you can enjoy everything now, this is so wholesome! 😂🎉

[@levinetral]

I really appreciate the really cool back ground You have during the video, mainly because it’s so dark and doesn’t bother me while I sleep bc youtube won’t let me close my phone while listening…

[@virusanity4168]

The pad comment was rude and sexist.

[@stevenandcarminabeedle9089]

For the skeleton key story, that’s not being nosy, that’s having situational awareness. Everyone needs a neighbor like that 😁

[@Pit_Wizard]

I'm about to move to a new apartment in a new city, so this is exactly what I needed 😂

[@ZephyrinSkies]

I appreciate ending it with a wholesome story, nice reminder to still have faith in people rather than being left depressed at someone's violent and unjust end.

[@madinashynaliyeva4635]

Omg! Strangely the last story is so funny to me, the guy was wearing his own scarf but got blamed 😂

[@Just_1_me]

Story 3... I was just curious if that lady had an issue with sleepwalking? People can look really possessed and do all sorts of things, including making calls, driving, etc. I would be so embarrassed if I had been sleepwalking and done something like that. It's better to be safe than sorry, though.

[@aaronnikels5706]

There’s no way a sleepwalker could coherently text all of that and lie so effortlessly

[@80bbygrl]

Question... If that guy in the 2nd story was scared of her, WHY did he keep trying to contact her and leave notes for her??

[@cornhole3way694]

He’s terrified, but still hopes to hear back from her? Weird.

[@taesha896]

I have so many questions! 😅

[@ZephyrinSkies]

Man discovered his yandere fetish. But for real, maybe he was hoping to get a normal explanation for it or to be shown it was a misunderstanding.
