Who flew over the cuckoo's nest?

O.K. There are REALLY many weird people in the place I live...
I know I have already mentioned about that gentle middle-aged lady who is fond of staying late in the lobby dressed in her PJ's and slippers and who always asks me my name every time she sees me for the last year.
And there is always the other guy that would not let me use the lift, as he was keeping the door open, acting like he was scared or seriously under "something".
And finally, I should not forget the (unknown) person/people who a) stole my underwear from the dryer and b) put their own underwear in...
But today's event makes me really concerned...
So, here it is:
During last week, I had some really strange confrontations with a girl I believe she lives at the same building. It has been a couple of times (or a bit more) that as I was going out or going into the building, this girl would be at the lobby.
Now, as soon as she would see me, she would just totally FREEZE and keep STARING at me with a really weird look. Now, I know what you may think; maybe she was just checking me out.
However, that look was completely different. It was more like an angry look, resentful, and I have to admit, a bit evil.
The same thing happened all the three times we came to an eye to eye contact. (And, I assure you, I have never seen that girl before and I really do not know her).
Now, since I do not like people giving me the "look" (especially when I do not think I have done something wrong)I decided the next time she reacts the same way to my presence, I will ask her what was wrong...
Earlier this evening, as I was getting out of the lift,I saw her sitting on the bench in the lobby. Again, as soon as she saw me she started staring at me. I couldn't help it, I had to ask:
-"Is something wrong? Are you O.K?"
Her answer: She just started.... laughing out loud! And it seemed she was actually laughing at me in an almost sinister manner(!!)
"WTF?", I thought and I asked her again: "Are you O.K.?"
Again, no verbal response, just the same loud laughter. Since her reaction was surprising and a bit scary, I just left.
Now,I did not go out wearing my pants the wrong way, and I believe I left that T-shirt which reads "DORK" at home. Therefore, there are two options:

a) I am/look just totally ridiculous and for the last 27 years people are just kind to me out of courtesy! (Say it ain't so!)
b) That person has some serious issues...

P.S.:I just cannot believe how I turned to a magnet for wacko's, and BTW, Halloween coming makes the whole situation even more awkward than it is ...

Uhm, yeah. :)

Yes, it appears the "Le Plateau" building has an odd effect on the minds of its residents. You might want to leave before it's too late...
