Pretty sure there's someone with Tourette syndrome in my building

Every once in a while I hear somebody go on these ridiculous screaming fits. Not like something you would hear if somebody was really angry or being abused though. Just this… shrieking. Like a really bad temper tantrum, but the voice sounds much more powerful than a child. I can't think of an explanation for screaming like that besides some sort of mental issue. Comes up every couple weeks. Weird.

Sounds like an opportunity to make a friend.

That would be pretty nerve-wracking.

That sounds terrifying.

Well at least it's just one Tourette. Most people have multiple Tourettes.

That was a terrible joke.

Joke/misguided attempt at pedantry?

It's actually not too bad. I mean it's definitely unfortunate, but they're far enough away that it's not super disruptive. I honestly thought somebody had a bird or something the first time I heard it. It's just weird.

Yes. Pedantry at its worst.
