Ok here goes....it starts two weeks ago. It's freaking 6AM and I hear this DING-DONG.... DING-DONG DING-DONG
"What the hell? I'm not answering that, I'm going back to sleep."
DING-DONG
...30 minutes later...
DING-DONG DING-DONG
"What is going on?!"

My neighbor from downstairs is there. She was meditating and felt the ground under her. It was hot. She wanted to tell me all about.
"Huh?"
She went on, "Right before you moved in there was a leak. Have you noticed your gas bill being for more than usual?"
"Huh? Hold on."
I handed her my landlord's number.
"Give him a call he will straighten it out. Or call a plumber, sorry I can't do anything. Yeah, give him a call."


8AM rolls around.
DING-DONG
DING-DONG
"Coming...."
It was my landlord.
"So I just wanted to let you know I called the plumber and he is coming out here. Remember that leak I told you about before you moved in? Well that was the cold line. Now the hot water line has a leak and that's what she felt down there. The plumber will need to get up here and re-route the line." "How's Monday for you?"
Well we settled on Wednesday of this past week.
"Oh you won't have hot water until then."

Finally the guy comes over. I have about 8 holes in my walls but I have hot water. Tomorrow they are going to patch up the walls. My 4 foot by 8 foot bathroom mirror is not mounted. There it sits on the floor. My place has crap everywhere. I have this urge to clean up but not yet...not until they get the walls fixed.

On the bright side, when I move I don't have to worry about my security deposit. What a week. Oi vey!

glad not to live in an apartment

Yup it's a "condo" but they are basically the same thing. First the neighbor behind me saying my music was too loud, now the lady below me.

The neighbor to the south used to be really nosy. One day I walked outside and looked over towards her place. Her 60 year old bod was in this black silk panty number. She was leaning over snooping on the neighbors below. Sweet mother of all that gave birth!!!!!
"Hi!" I made sure she knew I saw her.

Well, since then she doesn't bother me any more. In fact she stays inside her place most of the time. When I see her we avoid all contact and my eyes instinctively dart in the other direction.

me too

used to be up in colorado.left windows open in summer and they just loved my music dam next store neighbors stole my trash cans while I was moving well I went right back and stole them back

I would have found some road kill and placed it inside, preferably a skunk. You're helping out the city and giving the thieves a nice hello until the trash collectors come.
"Oo-oo that smell, the smell of death's around you"

I'm telling you, it's a condo!




Tina! See what you've done.

The plumber knocks on my door at 11AM today...

"Yeah, I'm running late today."
Me thinking: *yes I know*
"I won't be able to start for few more hours yet."
Me: "Oh? I was hoping on getting out of here in the late afternoon."
"Yeah, it will probably take me a full day to do it all."
Me: "So you're saying you can't do the job today?"
"Yeah..."
Me: "...and we should reschedule?"
"Yeah..."
Me:

Long story short...my <condo> looks like a hurricane went through it and the handyman is going to be here Sunday now. I have learned that I can not live in a messy place. Ugh!

The countryside cures all!

Come live with me in the middle of cornfields, with patches of woods, creeks, and wildlife a plenty.

Uh whats that thing over his shoulder? My god it's like in that movie!! They are starting to take over and using dating sites to do so!!! <cue music>

Luckily most of my neighbors keep to themselves. I had one neighbor that lived above me that called the cops once. Because he said I closed my door too loudly. Yeah... they came out, checked the door and laughed.

Wowsers , I would have locked the frickin' door at that point

MY back neighbors? They are AWFUL! They know my mother and everytime someone comes over to my house or I leave my house they were calling my Mom and telling her. I was thinking wth? Amazingly they stopped doing that when I started going over to her house and letting her know. Hey, it WASN'T a strange car in my driveway. No it was not a man, therefor I did not get lucky. If that were to happen then I will hang a towel from my door knob just so that you know whats going on in my house! And hey, by the way. I'm on my way to the grocery store, and maybe Walmart. I should be home by mmmm 4 or 5 pm so ya might want to keep an eye out around that time so you can dutifully report back to my mother!

She said absolutely nothing to that, her face got red. Her jaw dropped and since then she has stopped calling my mother. Sheesh!
