Random Sucky Neighbor Thoughts

Thank god I have my own machines now because when someone touches my shit to leave it on top of anything it really pisses me off. Do NOT touch my laundry.

If someone leaves their laundry in the dryer for hours, then as much as I dislike rooting through their unmentionables, I will, because I have laundry I need to finish too.

It's 3:00 AM, why are your kids suddenly stomping through the halls and engaging in loud conversation?!

Thank god I have my own machines now because when someone touches my shit to leave it on top of anything it really pisses me off. Do NOT touch my laundry. But I have my own now and it has been great for the last decade plus.

Ye gods.

I had some clothes in the laundry ... some in the dryer and some in the washer. I went down to check on the dryer and see how the washer was doing.

I walk in and discover I haven't turned the dryer on. I said something joking to the other woman in the laundry room. No response. Okay, well ...

Then I went to get my clothes out of the washer.

Crazed Neighbour: "Oh, those are yours too??"

Me: "Yes."

CN: "You need to watch your timing! You're late! Your clothes have been sitting here!!"

Me: "Uh ..."

I go over to toss them into a dryer.

CN: "Oh, NOW I have to go to another floor ... " *mumble mumble rant*

Me, as I leave the room: "You have a LOVELY day now!"

Soooo ... she scurried off to the office and complained.

Office lady: "I said 'What did she look like?' She said, 'She's short and has gray hair.'" Office lady was laughing and said to me, "Yeah, THAT will narrow it down ..." This is a seniors' building ...

CN repeated that she had TIMED my laundry and had been waiting HALF AN HOUR and blah and blah and blah.

I said:

1) I was pretty sure it was more like 10 minutes;
2) Why didn't she do what a lot of other people do and take the clothes out of the washing machine and pile them on top?
3) If she was also complaining that I took up the dryer she wanted, why didn't she just say "Excuse me, I was about to use that dryer"? I had just started the other dryer (the one I'd forgotten about) and would've tossed the second load into that same dryer.

Office lady just laughed and said not to lose sleep over it.

When I went back down to check on my laundry, guess who was there. Pacing in mad circles around in front of her machines.

Neighbour is not terribly sucky ... yet.

However, Dear Neighbour, no, I did not see an influx of pigeons on my balcony on the day in which you approached me. More than likely because I was at work from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.

He informed me that he has a personally concocted spray mixture of dish soap and (I believe) ammonia or bleach or something equally nasty, and that I am welcome to borrow it.

Thanks, but ... no. As annoying as pigeon poop on the balcony can be, I do not wish to make the little buggers suffer miseries untold for merely doing what pigeons do.

I sincerely hope this is not what I turn into when I finally retire ...

THAT IS NOT A SERVICE DOG. It should not be barking continually. It should not be left home.

It could very well be a service dog. Trained service dogs are NOT supposed to be left alone, they're supposed to be with their person. They'll get rather upset otherwise.

Let's just say that there's a good reason that sadism is named after the Marquis de Sade.

[dalesys]

... direct descendant of the Marquis de Sade.

... that was one of the times he used the whole chicken instead of just a feather, right?

A few nights ago, I saw a Dodge Caliber parked in front of my car.
I thought, "Oh, no! It's back."
Then I realized that it was silver. I know that car was being used.

BTW, I believe that the interior of the Dodge Caliber was designed by a direct descendant of the Marquis de Sade.

We had two cars in the parking lot sitting completely unused. One was a white Dodge Caliber and the other was a red Chevrolet Cavalier. The Chevy was messed up when one of our neighbors backed into it. It took about three months for the owner to have the cosmetic damage fixed and another four months before the owner started driving it again.

To be fair, if they were on a limited budget it may have taken the owners of the Chevy that long to save up the money to get everything fixed.

No excuses for the Dodge, though. If they couldn't be arsed to fix it up they should have sold it; heck, they probably could have got scrap value for it.

It's finally gone!

I moved to an apartment complex. We had two cars in the parking lot sitting completely unused. One was a white Dodge Caliber and the other was a red Chevrolet Cavalier. The Chevy was messed up when one of our neighbors backed into it. It took about three months for the owner to have the cosmetic damage fixed and another four months before the owner started driving it again.

The white Dodge was sitting on a jack in an effort to hide the fact that it had a flat tire. It had been that way for almost two years. The owners couldn't hide the fact that it had no license plate and the temporary tag was 2 years out of date. The landlords finally took action and put a green sticker that said that they had four days to get the registration up to date or it will be towed. Four days later, it was hauled off by a tow truck.

I don't have to look at that eyesore anymore.

I do understand that sometimes people have to take a shower at 1:15 a.m.; everybody has different work schedules. But you don't have to have a loud conversation about it in the bathroom. Some people sleep at night. Imagine that!

I'm happy to report that I'm going to end up being friendly with the neighbors next door. Both of them have reached out to me with promises that if I ever have any issue, I can come to them. I said in my note that I still consider them good neighbors and they seem like the type of people I'd like to get to know, and that I over-reacted because of all the problems with previous tenants over there. I should have just talked to them first and I apologized for not doing so. They are open to hanging out and getting to know each other and because I know their cars are iffy right now I texted that if they need rides to ask me. I haven't spoken to them face to face--just haven't really run into them--but we all have each others' numbers and at some point I will probably invite them over for a snack or something. This is something I don't do so that's growth for me. They really could label me as the nasty older lady next door who calls the cops and they'd be partially right, but instead they chose to make peace with me. I haven't heard Godzilla in two weeks. I didn't mean they can't EVER play!

OK dudes, so this time we actually saw your "customer" taking something out of your mailbox and putting something else in. Drugs out = money in, I'm guessing.

Assholes.
