A few nights a week I pick up SS7 from BM's apartment because SO works late and SS needs to get to bed at a reasonable hour. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but I'm fine with it. I'd rather have him in bed by the time SO gets home, anyway. BM HATES the fact that I pick him up and won't let me come up to her third story apartment, so I have to wait downstairs outside (in the cold, mind you). BM walks him halfway down and he has to walk the rest of the way by himself to where I'm waiting.

Yesterday I posted on another thread that BM is an escort (yes, we have proof, yes, she's aware we know, and yes, there are lawyers handling it). Well, of course she lives in a somewhat shady apartment complex because we're not talking about a Julia Roberts/Pretty Woman situation here. Last night I arrived about 10 minutes early, so I waited in my car for a bit before texting her that I was there. A young guy was at the entrance of her building smoking a cigarette and I texted my SO about it. He thought it might be her new boyfriend. Next thing I know, this guy is walking up to my car, kind of smiling at me like he knows who I am...so I foolishly roll down my window a bit. Yes, I'm an idiot, but I thought ok maybe it IS the boyfriend? NOPE. "Hi ma'am. God bless you, how are you doing this evening?" I just frowned and stared at him. "My name is Johnny and I'm trying to collect money for community college..." I stopped him right there. "NOT INTERESTED" I said and rolled up my window. He walked away and went up the stairs to where BM's apartment is.

FIRST OF ALL, motherfucker. What are you doing at 8PM going around a damn PARKING LOT asking women who are ALONE to give you MONEY? ARE YOU FUCK NUTS CRAZY? (Am I also fuck nuts crazy for rolling down my window? Yes.)

I texted my SO what was going on and he was pissed but I told him I was ok and not to worry. When BM brought SS down the stairs, I said "Hey BM, um some strange man just came up to my car asking for money and that's really not ok." (I usually never speak to her during these pick-ups.) She said "Oh, they're here all the time! It's fine! He's actually up by my door right now." Like all cheery about it, as if it's no big deal. WHAT?? Then I hear the dude say "I'm not a stranger, ma'am. I'm just trying to pay for school. God bless you." I yelled back "Ok then. Goodbye."

I got on the phone with my SO, explained to him how inappropriate her reply was and how inexcusable this whole situation is. I said if he expects me to continue to pick up his son, this needs to stop. He then called BM and she said she's reported the activity to the police and apartment management multiple times. She said it scared her at first but she's used to it now.

I don't really have a question, I guess. Just more of a WTF and curious to hear anyone's thoughts.
