Today, I found myself sneaking into my apartment to avoid the old lady who lives next to me. Funnily enough, I moved into my own apartment because I was tired of sneaking into it to avoid my mom, who lived with me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I wanted to spend the day cleaning my room. My mom thinks that I was lying just to stay home, so she yelled at me to go to her shop. At the shop, she yelled at me for not being any help. When we got home she yelled at me for having a messy room. FML
Today, I got lost, and eventually noticed that I'd passed by the same house a few times. Apparently somebody who lives on that street noticed as well, because the next time I passed by, the police were waiting for me. FML
Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML
Today, the couple with three noisy toddlers in the apartment above mine finally moved out. A couple with a non-stop crying newborn moved in. FML
Today, I showed up for my first shift in my new night job; I now work at an apartment complex during the day and at a gas station at night. It turns out that our biggest problem tenant in the former happens to be my boss in the latter. FML
Today, I went to my grandmother's house to pick up her cat to take him to the vet. She forgot who I was and sprayed me in the face with pepper spray. FML
Today, I got in a huge fight with my mom, so I went to my room and locked myself in there and played loud music so I didn't have to hear her. She then started yelling at me on Facebook, so I logged out of Facebook. She then started yelling at me on Yahoo. Damn technology. FML
Today, I was walking out of my front door in the town where I intern. I live alone and know no one. As I'm locking the door, I see a golf ball wedged between my mat and step. I notice that there's writing on it so I pick it up to read, "You look hot when you sleep." FML
Today, my husband and I woke up to see my drunk mother passed out on our couch. She was wearing nothing but socks. FML
Today, I got on the bus to go to work. I managed to get a seat, but an old lady who looked tired had to stand. I offered her my seat, but she glared at me, frowned and said, "Go fuck yourself." Everyone laughed as I sat there in dismay. FML

if you can move out and live on your own you can handle an old lady

It's your place. Take control and be proud of your accomplishments. You can come and go as you damn well please. Your life, your rules. Screw everyone else. If she doesn't like that you're coming in past her bedtime, well to bad. She can deal.

Tell her to mind her own ******* business and leave you alone.

You taught her how to behave. the moment you let her needs over weigh yours you taught her its ok. Yes it will be hard to say no and sounds like she needs someone, so if you feel guilty, ask about her children and contact them, guessing that will go nowhere then contact the county or State agency and see if she can get a caregiver in once a week. My sister has one. Good Luck

If she's worse than your Mother I can see why you need to sneak but still it shouldn't really be necessary

I have this same issue. the old lady that lives next to me is nice, but super annoying, and she makes it a point to flag me down every time she sees me outside (she leaves her curtains/blinds open all day, so she can see when I come and go, and I have to walk past that window in order to go downstairs). every time she flags me down, she's begging me to buy her things with my foodstamps (im disabled and unable to work). I don't want to be rude to her, but I don't want to talk to her either
