He utterly despised the residents of apartment 2C.

It wasn't just because they fed his insomnia each night, but they always seemed to use the bathroom when he showered, making the water scald his skin as he washed his hair. Not only that, but they took advantage of his mother's caring tendencies and always managed to take off with some of their food and toiletries.
