Please post about all of your neigbors that YOU positively LOATHE!

My upstairs neighbors are so incredibly loud! They clomp around, move furniture in the middle of the night, blast music (big bruce springsteen fans) and the tv, and [***kids don't read***] have sex so loud right above my room all the time! They woke me up at 6:30 this morning!!!! I have knocked on their door so many times, it's ridiculous!

I love my apartment building, but one thing I have issue with...

this will sound racist at first, but hear me out. The folks that live on my floor are very multicultural which in and of itself is fine. Except... when people start cooking... a lot of different things... sometimes you get some pretty icky smells. Heavy curry mixed with honey-glazed ham cooking, then someone baking a spinach dish, and all these different smells plus others on top of each other... granted, around dinnertime, it's bearable. But to wake up to a mixture of ethnic dishes that would smell okay on their own but which combined smell kinda gross... at six in the morning... ugh.

My downstairs neighbors are the worst.

There are 10 people living in a small two bedroom apartment on the first floor of my building which is a three story townhouse. There are 4 adults and 6 children in one apartment. They are from the middle east. They just let there children do whatever. They have torn up our mail and written on the walls in the hall in crayon.

Their door is always open and instead of going to the laundromat to do laundry, they boil their clothes on the stove top in a big pot. They open the door and it makes the hallway humid and moist. Not only that, we share a thermostat and they crank the heat and almost suffocate us. It could be 59 degrees outside and they will crank it up to 90.

My landlord who also lives in the building is over them too but he won't kick them out because they are from his country and he doesn't want to be responsible for putting 6 small children out on the street even though it is illegal for them all the live there and he could get a fine.

my old next door neighbors were an older middle aged couple who fought ALL the time. And when I saw ALL the time, I mean for hours and hours and hours. Omgosh, it got so incredibly annoying. One time another neighbor had to call the police to make sure nothing bad was happening over there. And they'd say, "Oh everything is fine we're just having a lil spat." Psshh, lil spat? Please, they kept the whole neighborhood awake one night.

M_E, have it towed...he'll never do it again

[Mary_Ethel]

Unfortunately, Elphaba, the Manager of my Apartment Complex does not believe in towing resident's cars... BELIEVE ME, she and I have had NUMEROUS discussions about this situation!!! Grrh!

Could you park perpendicular behind his car? Blocking him in might be an alternative to towing. (hmmmmm.....on second thought, it that legal? Wouldn't want YOU to get towed!)

Key the bitch. That'll learn 'im.

Y'know that's FUNNY, Jailyard.


One night, I almost lost it and was about to pour Tomato Soup ALL OVER his damn SUV...

And you stopped because you remembered that chicken noodle is harder to clean off?

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 3/31/05 at 3:43pm

Well, no, Blue Moon, I actually stopped because I was in fear of getting caught by him and/or Apartment Management.


I KNOW, I'm so pure its downright SICKENING!!!

use shaving cream- then it can be blamed on local kids messing around, and it will ruin the paint job

[JailyardGuy]

Posted: 3/31/05 at 3:44pm

Darlin', you REALLY ought to hang out with me a bit.

[shameless]

Posted: 3/31/05 at 3:44pm

flatten a tire or two, just don't get caught

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 3/31/05 at 3:50pm

I like liotte's shaving cream suggestions best. When you blame it on the nieghborhood kids you can tell your neighbor that you've had a run in with them and they were obvious trying to get back at you. They naturally thought the car in your space was YOURS - since it IS your space. Then thank him for taking the hit for you.

Good call Bluemoon!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 3/31/05 at 3:55pm

Don't you just love poetic justice?

And M_E - this problem better be cleared up for we go for our steak dinner!

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 3/31/05 at 5:55pm

STEAK DINNER, Blue Moon??? OH YES--the one YOU'RE PAYING FOR!!!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 3/31/05 at 6:13pm

Oh course I'm paying - I'm Phyllis George!

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 3/31/05 at 6:15pm

You sound like you're badgering a Maitr' D' in a restaurant for a BETTER table, Blue Moon--


"But I'M Phyllis George!!!"

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 3/31/05 at 6:38pm

Well, if the restaurant is very dark I can be taken for Phyllis George on her worst day IF it's my best day. It helps if the maitre d' is half blind and thinks good old Phyllis is on her deathbed! But, hey, if it gets me a steak at Kirby's, fine by me! I take it your neighbor won't be coming with us? I understand there's plenty of parking!

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 3/31/05 at 6:40pm

LOL!!!

Don't worry, bluemoon. I'm sure with the sensibilities that my neighbor has thus far displayed, his idea of fine cuisine is a Big Mac and a Super-Size order of fries.

[liotte]

Posted: 4/1/05 at 1:19am

Do I get to go to dinner too?

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 4/1/05 at 1:23am

OF Course Liotte.

The more the merrier.


After all, Blue Moon's "Phyllis George"!
