Can we make all the bad neighbors live next to each other in the same building?[/QUOTE]

What a lovely thought . . .

I mean, who the f**k vacuums at 12:45 AM on a Friday morning? Why aren't you sleeping? Don't you have a job to go to in the morning?

Wait, that would explain a lot . . .

I really hope the furniture I see going out is you moving.

It's not even 9:00 am on a Sunday and you're at it with the bass again. I can't even be in my own living room. It's my only hope that when I get home you'll have found something useful to do with your time. I'm not even sure you work, given that you slam the door going in and out all day every day, like a cat. Oh, and was that you at 4:15 am??

Can we make all the bad neighbors live next to each other in the same building?

FL--we think this is their job...every time we see them exit the building it's to go on can patrol. They even take the wine bottles from the trash room...my state has no deposit on those, so what do they do with them? I don't even know if there are any recycling places that just give money for glass anymore.

ETA: I went over to the store earlier to take our accumulated cans over (just a few bucks, but it keeps us in Dunkin coffees) and ran into the male party...he was watching the bags I was carrying quite intently. That's a tad creepy; he never actually approached me but still--!

Mom's said that over the past year or so this place has become an expensive tenement...when we moved in it was billed as a 'professional' building--strict noise policies/quiet hours enforcement, fast crackdown on loud parties, students had to be vouched for, etc. Now things are such that a friend across the street has been calling in noise complaints to the offices on what sounds like 10 people in a 2-bedroom apartment (we told her to just call the cops next time). The can collectors must be getting beaucoup assistance as I doubt they're coming anywhere close to making the rent (~3K/month going by what we pay) just from whatever they do.

Dear Neighbor to the Left:

Please control your damn grandchildren, because they are going to get run over by a car one of these days [I'm surprised that they haven't already]. Also might want to sit them down at some point and tell them that its not okay to be playing in someone else's yard, even if said someone is not at home. I have already told them half a dozen times since Thanksgiving to get out of my driveway, if I had been at home it would've been more. And I know that the three neighbors in front of us have had the cops called on your "precious little babies" numerous times in the last several weeks because they were trespassing on their property.

Don't look surprised that I know that happened, I DO talk to people even if you falsely believe I'm some type of hermit who doesn't come out of her house. You are NOT winning brownie points with your neighbors, or anyone in the neighborhood for that matter. Because if the Thanksgiving holidays were any indication of how well you, and the grandkid's parents, watch them, they'll be running around the neighborhood screaming and carrying on during the Christmas holidays as well.

I'd rather have a second job than have to collect cans.

[Dreamstalker]

We have annual safety inspections next week...I wonder how the can-collectors will fare (I can't see them paying for one of the basement storage rooms--where the hell do they put all those cans?).

[Food Lady]

No one needs to hear your boomboomboom car stereo at 12:30 am on a Sunday night. Those of us who have jobs and have to pay rent have to work in the morning!

This is why DH and I own an office-grade shredder.

That's why I take all of my old bills and other sensitive things to the office. I'm not about to get a shredder, when I can use the office one for free

I do own a shredder BUT now once a summer I have a stuff-that-needs-to-be-shredded bon-fire. I went to the second had store and bought a nice bin type (maybe a magazine holder) box with a lid and I put all of my shred stuff in there for storage the have a bonfire.

Mom's now concerned that whoever-they-are (I know what building they live in and have narrowed it down to two apartments) is rummaging through the recycle bins before the bins go out to the curb; we take all our sensitive paper trash to Bent Staple for shredding, but a lot of tenants don't... If they're picking cans out of all the other flotsam here what else are they pawing through?

That's gross! My downstairs neighbor has taken to leaving garbage bags and grocery bags of who-knows-what on the sidewalk outside the door we share to get into the basement laundry room. It's super gross, even not knowing what's inside them. With the recent snow, I've had to shovel around them. I'm scared what would spill out if I caught the shovel on one of those bags!

[Dreamstalker]

I could care less than you're roaming the neighborhood at all hours collecting returnable cans...well, until the unrinsed cans cluttering up your apartment (I once saw them bring 10 garbage bags full out the front door) start inviting vermin into the building. But do you have to sort them loudly under my window? At 2 AM?! One more time and I'm calling management.

[Food Lady]

That's it. I just wrote a long letter to the manager stating I was doing so because I didn't want to call the police with a noise complaint. But I may have to. It is now 10:42 pm. I can hear it all the way across my apartment in my bedroom. I put up with it Saturday morning and this afternoon. There is no peace on weekends. This is not right. I may not be home a lot, but I pay rent to be able to have some peace when I'm at home. I really, really do not want to be that lady but I would like to watch a movie in my own living room rather than being relegated to my bedroom with a laptop. Why do I own a TV if I don't get to use it because I can't hear it??
