amateur hour.

So it's saturday night amateur hour (just after 2, when the club down the street has kicked everyone out to begin their fun evening of drunk driving) and I go over to the window to see what the latest ruckus is about. Just below, there are these two guys kicking the doors and windows of an SUV, and screaming ``you stupid bitch!'' I can't see inside the car, but I'm guessing these two are looking for some ass kicking, and the person inside doesn't want to participate. This goes on for some time, but they're not doing anything really damaging; like, I'd expect the car's mirrors to be broken off by now. Then one of the guys goes over and pees on my building. This does not seem to be an act properly of the moment.

Then I figure out that what they keep screaming is in fact, ``wake up, you stupid bitch.''

They've been at it for twenty minutes now.

60 minutes. Though now they're mostly leaning on the car and looking sad.

90 minutes, and they smashed a window. They then stood there for another ten minutes shaking their friend, who still wouldn't wake up. Then they drove off. I assume to dump the body.
