Random Sucky Neighbor Thoughts

[Dreamstalker]

Two of the asshole families moved out a few days ago...and gifted our management with a violation from the town for "blocking a public way" (they hauled desks, bedframes and all manner of shit to the sidewalk at midnight and just left it). I saw one of the notices the day it was left in the back courtyard, and I'm guessing that the family on the front side got one too.

I'm pretty sure the unit # was identified on the notice...I'm guessing that management can withhold the security deposit for those stunts, but did these people have to pay one?

You're always welcome to have a look at my ghoulies... 😈

I'll give that a shot thanks!

If you lived near the other Washington I'd invite you over for a movie night.

Have you perchance seen the movie When Good Ghouls Go Bad?

Halloween decorations play a part in the movie.

I'll give that a shot thanks!

Meanwhile I'm slowly putting out Halloween/witch oriented decorations out there, bit by bit. I plan to make it as obnoxious to her as I can.

Sooooooooooo recently a new neighbor moved in next door I guess, I posted about that. Still haven't laid eyes on her/them/whatever. BUT get this.... a couple weeks ago when I was at work my partners said that there were two women outside, cleaning the shared front stoop area. Their side and our side, like scrubbing down with bleach, on the walls and cement floor. Ok that's cool. I thought it was something the apartment management was doing for some reason. Up to now I have been the only one to even bother sweeping up out there! So I come home, and my doormat is gone. I can't find it anywhere, and then I think....could it be in the dumpster? Sure enough it had been thrown away. Well I took it out, shook off the dirt and put it right back where it belongs. I thought the apartment management people had thrown it out, so I was complaining to them, and the manager had no idea what I was talking about. It seems it was the bitch next door who was cleaning that area, including in front of my door, on her own, and she was the one who threw out my doormat. I don't take kindly to people throwing out my property. So I haven't seen her, haven't met her, and I hate the bitch. Touch my shit again and there will be consequences.

Now the dogs get out regularly and typically end up in our immediate neighbor's yard (same house with the creeper husband). Which is making my dogs go nuts. Mine are digging under the fence--which they haven't done in years--trying to play with their new friends. And the huskies are digging from the other side. I can't leave my dogs out in the backyard to play like I have been because I don't know if they'll be there later. One's already gotten out a couple times and ended up in the next subdivision over.

Is there anyone you can report them to? Sooner or later one of the pups is going to run into the street and get run over or cause an accident. They might also end up tangling with some other dog that isn't well socialised and get attacked.

Huskies are big dogs when they're grown; if they run up to the wrong person (however innocently they mean it) they could end up getting put down for "attacking" that person. If this family aren't giving them the attention and exercise they need (and huskies need a lot!) then perhaps it would be better if they were re-homed.

A family down the street got two husky puppies. They suck at keeping them in their own yard. The first time the pups got loose, we didn't know who they belonged to as there was no address on their tags. Thankfully, there was a phone number, but the phone was turned off. So it took a few hours before the owners came home to get their dogs.

So, TL;DR, if the people down the street don't find a way to keep their dogs contained, I'm gonna lose my ever lovin' mind.

We're moving soon, so there's that at least.

I don't know why it bothers me--maybe I'm the sucky one--but I'm sick of looking outside and wanting to see trees and grass and instead seeing...you...again. Why are you always out there? I'm not opposed to people sitting outside to be on their phones or whatever. But that's why you have a porch. Instead, you are on the stairs every day, right smack dab in the middle of my view. It' sounds mean, but I'm just sick of looking at you.

Our place has a few "watchers"...the same family that we suspect has 10 people in a two-bedroom. One of them will just lay down (seriously) on his building's front entrance smoking...and occasionally looking intently up at my bedroom window. If I happen to catch him doing this he immediately goes back inside. What the everloving hell...?

[Pixelated]

I keep seeing these handwritten scrawls posted on the building's bulletin boards: "BRING BACK MY CHAIRS NOW!" with an apartment number on it.

I finally asked somebody WTF happened, here's what she told me: tenant (who is on my floor, not that it matters) apparently put two chairs from her apartment out in the hallway while she was cleaning her house. (No idea why she would need to do that.) When she went to get them -- and she swears it was no more than five minutes -- they were gone.

Moral of the story: do NOT leave stuff out in the hallway and expect it to stay there.

People have put furniture into the atriums at the end of each hallway as a free giveaway. This was most likely outside her apartment door rather than in the atrium, so yeah, it would've been nice if the person had knocked and ASKED ... but they didn't. And unless she really lucks out, she'll never get them back.

Maybe the watchers and creepers should move here so they can teach the "parents" that 6-year-olds shouldn't be running around at almost 10:00 pm.

[notalwaysright]

Omg, we have a "watcher" in my complex, too! I've nicknamed him both Rubber Neck and Crazy Eyes because when he walks through the parking lot he's always craning his head back and forth looking all around him.

I don't really get a creeper vibe from him, more like an awkwardness? And if he sees me he just nods and moves on, which is normal.
