*Raises hand*

Well this is obviously gonna be a rant so if you don't like rants... well then, bye ;P

Now let me set the scene for you. Me and my fiance live in an appartment in a 3 floor building. In our building there are 6 appartments, 2 on each floor. So 3 appartments are to the left of the stairs and 3 are to the right of the stairs.

The people who live to the right of the stairs are all wonderfull neighbours. On the first floor to the right lives a mother with two teenage girls who never makes a sound. They are very friendly and easygoing. On the second floor to the right lives our next door neighbour who is a woman in her 50's. This woman is amazing. Really, she's the best neighbour you could ever have. And she has two cats that she lets us visit anytime we want :> On the third floor to the right lives an elderly couple who also never makes a sound. Really sweet old couple who just minds their own buisiness.

Then there's the people in the apparments to the left of the stairs...
On the first floor to the left lives a family with two kids. I'm not a big fan of kids in normal cases, and these kids are just horrible >.< One of their favorite hobbies are to bounce a basketball indoors. All day... After 4-5 hours of hearing "thud, thud, thud, thud, thud" you start to get abit anoyed. I'd rather be put through Chinese water torture tbh... Oh, and even though these appartments are just 3 room appartments they somehow manage to run around nonstop - also for hours. The kids are pretty slender but my gawd it sounds like they were elephants running around. Come summer it should be better when the kids are outside playing shouldn't it? No.
Because apperently the parents haven't botherd to teach their kids how normal people close a door. These kids just have to slam their door as hard as they possibly can every time they close it. And every time the pictures on OUR walls shake. Now if they just staied outside that would be all well and good but they don't. Nono, they have to run in and out, in and out, in and out nonstop. Slamming the door with all their might every single time.
Yes I know kids are kids, but these kids do seem to have some issues. Because a few months back my nextdoor neighbour walked past the boy who were laying on the ground just screaming bloody murder. She stopped and asked him if something was wrong. Then he just looked up at her and didn't say anything. So she told him he shouldn't just be laying there screaming because it makes people worried. The kid continued to look up at her and his only answer after a while was to continue to scream his lungs out. I mean seriously?
The parents do try to controll them I guess because every day I can hear them through the thick concrete walls screaming at their kids to pipe down. And I can't really say I blame them for it >.< It is to no avail though as the kids always contine to be as noisy and anoying as they possibly can be, day in and day out.

On the second floor to the left is our appartment. And both me and my fiance are very quiet and calm people. We never play loud music, never have parties or even people over as I have a difficult time having people in my home. The only thing we ever do that does make some sound is watching movies, and that is on normal avarage volume. We are renovating though, but every time we're about to do something noisy we make sure to put up a note in the stairs saying we will be renovating our kitchen/bathroom whatever and that noise may occur which we appologize for.
I'm not saying we're perfect neighbours, but at least we do what we can to not bother the others.

On the third floor to the left there used to live this sweet old lady which sadly passed away early last year. So around summer last year a man in his late 30's moved in which I swere has a fetish for drills and hammers. So he wants to renovate his new home, I get that. We've been working on a full renovation of our flat too for quite some time. But he has been drilling and hammering NON-STOP since he moved in. In the 1,5 years he has lived there by now there's been quiet for about tops 3 months in total. Othwerwise he is constantly drilling or hammering. At this point I honestly can't understand where he even find space to drill in his walls anymore. His apparment has got to have more holes than a Swiss cheese by now.
8am, he's drilling. 1pm, he's drilling. 9pm, he's drilling. EVERY DAY. Want to sleep in on a sunday? Forget it. Want a nice relaxing evening after a long day of work? Forget it. Need to rest because you have a blinding migraine in the middle of the day? Forget it.
And there's absolutely nothing we can do about it because people are allowed to make noise from 8am to 10pm.

As if all of this wasn't enough there's a family who got a dog about a year ago in the building that is connected to ours but has its own seperate stairs. I love dogs with all my heart, but this little fella seems to hate noise as much as I do because every time the guy upstairs starts to hammer or drill or the kids downstairs slam their door the dog starts barking like mad. And he doesn't stop untill he tiers himself out which can take up to 1 hour.

So in conclution, this place is a freakin' circus >.< And I'm slowly but safely loosing the little bit of sanity I used to have :p

Now tell me I'm not alone. Anyone else who has anoying neighbours?

Yes. The building I live in only has two apartments. And it always seems my neighbor is really loud or really weird. I've had four different neighbors so far. First was a lady that was getting a divorce. She had a boyfriend that came over all the time. At night I could hear the bed bumping against the wall. :confused: She only lived there a month. Next neighbor was a guy who walked around like an elephant. I could hear him stomp across his apartment all the time. And he always slammed the down stairs door. One winter he caught a cold and I would wake up at night because he was coughing so loud. The walls in these apartments are not soundproof at all. He lived there for two years. Argh. Then came another dude who played his music really loud and asked me for my wi fi password. Uh, no! He moved out after almost a year.
Now I have this new neighbor, a lady, who has moved around town a lot. Apparently she doesn't pay her bills. She's a bit strange and I have trouble talking to regular people. She has all her stuff in the apartment next door, but she's hardly ever there because she hangs out at her boyfriend's place who lives down the street. Apparently he won't let her move in. o_O
Can I just have a normal neighbor who is quiet and doesn't bother me??
 
Yikes! So much noise and racket! I couldn't take it. I have panic attacks and I would run away screaming over such a fuss. I'm sorry you both have to put up with that. Like your own lives aren't busy enough without having others intrude.

Funny, you think living rurally as I do I would have little problems with neighbours, but I do as well. I have an awful fellow on the farm behind mine that allows his dogs to roam about, everywhere. They've recently killed some of my cats and three puppies. I admit, the pups should have been in their pen, but they squeezed out and while they were playing in the front, his dogs attacked them and killed them. I'm spoilering the next part to spare the tender hearted:
Then they ate the puppies' heads, leaving their bodies for my poor son Cameron to discover. He was heart broken. And one already had a home arranged so I had to call the family and break their hearts as well. They took another needy dog, but still. Animals should be safe in their own front yard.
He refuses to feed them well, so they roam and are semi feral. They've very aggressive. The sheriff says until they bite us, they can do nothing. I'm enlisting another neighbour to please arbitrate for us. This fellow doesn't think he needs to do anything to address the situation, and I know it's because I'm a woman. Ugh. I feel bad for the dogs. But I need them gone. My animals are at stake.

Le gasp! The puppy story is horrible! I'm so sorry!


I have this family of like 6 next door. They always ask for my brother so they can "hang out". By "hang out", I mean do dumb and dangerous stunts that can kill them. And every single day, they come, knock about 10 or more times on the door, and ask. If he is not there, they come back 5 MINUTES LATER! And last year, their cat got lost. Where was the cat? In my backyard. Inside the storage. Almost dying.

Then there are this other family. It's the biggest pain on the butt.
When they first moved in, they built a ladder using a baby slide and whatnot. They used it to jump into our backyard and steal our toolbox and a bike which was a gift for my brother. How did they took the bike? A hole in the fence. Then when the mailman came to leave our mail, their dog escaped the leash and attacked the poor man. He got bit in the leg and lost some mail under the car :(. Luckily, the dog didn't had rabies. I think :O.

That's my neighborhood. Other pains in the butt are that the boys play in the middle of our street and use our car as the goal net. And the fence. They ended up paying half of the car repair or something. Next thing you know, I close the fence and set a board saying "USE THE CAR AS A GOAL AND I CALL 911". They never used it again.....


.... Until the time if the World Cup Soccer League came.
 
Who isn't annoying where I live? I think there are just too many people in too little space here.

Parking is a nightmare! There is an apartment building behind the one I live in and the people who live there act like the parking for my building is like guest parking for them. Now they kinda enforce towing, but it takes awhile to get the tow truck to come out there. Street parking is a joke! Well at least you don't need permits or anything though.

Both of my neighbors are annoying they all have kids under 7. My one neighbor has a bratty crybaby little boy. I don't know what they do there, but it always smells like something is burning there. They watch tv and listen to music really loudly. Sometimes its so loud it's louder than what I'm watching on my tv. For some reason they are always hammering too.

My other neighbor has 2 little girls and they scream a lot all the time. They stomp a lot too. Sometimes I get blamed for it by my mom until I say it was them, and I wasn't attempting to dance again. The girls' mother likes to bake in the evening in the summer.

The kids are always throwing their toys all over the stairs and in front of our door. Nobody watches any of those kids. I'll admit one time I pretended to be a ghost so they would stop playing and knocking on my door. They use it for a base sometimes. A few times they have tried to get into the apartment. Yesterday my mom thought she heard one of the kids fall. I don't know what happened I wasn't home at the time, but she was.

Those are only the people in my building. I have to deal with the people in the neighboring building that is not connected. There are quite a few miscreant children there. They like to play soccer by my window. Sometimes they hit the building. I'm so afraid they will hit my window and break it. Nobody does anything about them.

I have a loud neighbor lady who listens to music so loudly I can't sleep. She sings along with it poorly. She watches tv loudly too. I can hear her tv through my closed window. She is also a loud talker I know all about her problems with her boyfriend and he cell phone plan. She lives in the neighboring building.

There is this annoying loud guy who moved in a few months ago. He sings loudly early in the morning. Once he started singing at 4something AM! I called the police on the guy and then later complained to the management of his building. Apparently he is pretty annoying because they said they knew who I was talking about. He is annoying in other ways like he is "patrolling" the buildings. He tries to "help" people, but when they see him they walk away. He will talk to anybody and tell them all about his problems that he had with his ex-wife. But he is a loud talker so you can usually hear him before he comes around.
 
OMG @evilbunnyfoofoo what an horrible story!

I'm living in town house but neighbours are still anoying. We live in the end of the road so we have one neighbour next to us and couple houses opposites us. Nextdoor neighbour are the worst -.-. It's family of four. Mothot, father, son and daughter.
They didn't like when we got a dog few years back, because somedays when Taavi (dogs name) it barked while watching cars go by.. And he never barked that much really. Also neighbour daughter wanted to go walk with Taavi everyday, and we allowed that because Taavi was so outgoing ans he liked long walks. But one day we noticed that Taavi didn't like to go out anymore with that girl. He wouldn't let anyone put leash on and just tried to run away. So we stopped that walking thing. (I learned later that she had tried force Taavi to jump obstacles and scared the dog when he didn't jump... :( No wonder he didn't want to go walks with that girl) Well ofc the daughter was upset and the mother furious why can't her daughter walk the dog. She was such a brat I think the mother just coudn't take her annoying whining and so they got their own dog. And that dog would always come to our yard! We have fences but their dog is bigger than ours was.. They woudn't get their own fence and sometimes I was little worried about Taavi because it was smaller dog... Well we do not have anymore dog problems because our little loving dog died couple years ago (naturally) :(.
But now these neighbours wants to cut down some trees that are their side. They asked if we wanted to join. Those trees won't bother us so we said not really but you can cut them if you want. BUT they want to cut trees so that when they fall down the tree would go our side of the yard. I was like what?! We do not want to join but you want ruin our yard... So they have been nagging us about those trees on on..
And also they have built new carrage just next to our propety line and their yard looks like jungle (you can't see whats happening there, which is good for us :D we don't want to see) like there are afraid that we would stalk them.. And ofc there would always hear yelling and arguing... -.-
They are pain in the *** with their complains with everything -.- I'm too lazy to write everything here or you would read a book about nagging neighbours..
 
Oh yes...annoying neighbors.

We don't really know anyone where we live (and don't care to), so we give each household a code name. The one diagonal from us we affectionately refer to as the "U.N. House" because we have absolutely no idea who is actually supposed to be living there. It's not nor ever been for rent, and yet I know of at least 15 different faces that come and go as they please from the house. And then there are the kids. Oh, the kids. Their parents (whoever they are) don't pay one bit of mind to what they are doing and they terrorize the neighborhood. I've seen the young son kicking one of the neighborhood strays before and that has been the only time I've ever spoken (read: yelled) at anyone from that household. Husband and I pray for the day we find a better suited house because we certainly don't want our own son picking up any bad habits from these kids once he's old enough to start really playing with others.

Then there is "The Witch". She is an ancient lady who is deathly protective of her precious white picket fence. A fence that is only half-standing and needs repaired and repainted badly. We have offered to fix it for her numerous times because it is an eyesore, but she bluntly and harshly refuses each time. When we mow do any yard work she comes out onto her porch and "hides" behind some old rusty lattice to make sure we don't get too close to her fence. And stays there the whole time until we go back inside giving us nasty looks.

And then there is "Ninja Neighbor". Granted, the man who gained the house this name has since passed leaving his wife all alone. We have gone and taken her treats and let our son visit several times because we know it must be hard to suddenly live alone after 52 years married. But she has started getting creeped out lately and has been putting up oudoor lights all around her house. Now, she lives on the opposite side of our bedrooms, so this isn't too big of a deal, but what is a big deal is that one of these lights shines directly on our driveway. Like a lit beacon going "Look in these cars, people! You know you want to break in and snoop--these guys have carseats and who knows what other goodies are just yours for the taking!" We have asked her to please redirect them but she just sweetly replies that she's only looking out for our house too. Reasoning hasn't gotten us anywhere either.

Finally there is "The Creeper". Though this guy is legit--he's a homeless man who camps out in the woods behind the houses. He'll sit at the edge of the woods and watch peoples TVs if they have them facing that direction. The best part? Our local police won't do anything because he doesn't steal things (yet) and hasn't been seen on anyones property. I'm pretty sure there are laws here that people are...you know...not just allowed to randomly live in woods that someone has to own.
 
Oh wow, I really feel for all of you :sadpony: I mean, there's a good weird and there's a bad weird and most of your neighbours seems to be really bad weird :surprisepony: Why do people have such an obsessive need of being obnoxious?

@evilbunnyfoofoo That is absolutely horrible what happend to your puppies! :surprisepony: The regular police sounds useless, but isn't there an animal police/animal controll unit you can call about this man and his dogs? I may watch too much Animal Planet :p, but I've seen that alot of places have these animal police units that - if the owners are unfit and the animals aren't getting the proper care which they don't seem to be getting - will take the animals from that owner and rehome them to decent folks.


Funny thing, my next-door neighbour threw in a note to us this very morning (not even 24 hours after I started this post XD ) saying the guy upstairs with the drilling fetish is moving :eek: So basicly he moved in, spent 1½ years renovating like a madperson and now he's moving out again :blink: While I'm so very happy to get ridd of him because not only am I really tired of his constant hammering and drilling, I also forgot to mention the most charming part about him. And that is that every time he goes to the toilet to pee we hear it loud and clear no matter where we are in our appartment :madpony: I've lived here for ages and never have I ever heard when any of our neighbours goes to the bathroom. But him, him we hear loud and clear. He must have some sort of superpee or something >.< And it's so nasty to have to listen too...

So yeh, super happy to get ridd of him XD But now I'm kinda worried what kind of people will be moving in next :S Not to mention, they probably have a different taste than him so renovations upstairs might just start all over again >.< Yaaay.....

Seems a lot of us have neighbor problems. o_O
Evilbunnyfoofoo, do you have any livestock? I think you have the right to shoot the dogs if they are threatening your livestock. I know it sounds mean, but if someone's dogs killed my cats and puppies and they didn't give a rat's *** about it, I would be super peeved!
 
bunbun I'm so sorry to hear about your fuzzies :( I would be devastated too!

The next door neighbor is a special snowflake of an antisocial scrooge with no hobbies and no compassion for anyone but himself. Our houses are pretty far apart, and whenever he didn't like something he could see from his house, he'd come over to our property and dismantle it himself.

He would also spy from his house with I can only imagine were binoculars.. Any time one of us was tending a garden, spreading mulch, or almost any kind of yard work, he would call the police and complain we were doing "construction without a permit."

Insert 8-ft fence along the property line between us. Problem solved to the tune of several thousand dollars, but worth the peace of mind.

Then there was the time he hid in a bush and jumped out in front of my car as I was coming home. I thought he was having a heart attack, so I stopped and opened my window to ask if he needed help, and he screamed at me about speed limits (I never speed) and hit the roof of my car. I just raised my brow and moved on, but I did start carrying a tiny airhorn in my car just in case he got the notion to do it again. :tongue:

We've also become good friends with the county cops, who fortunately agree this guy is nuts. Now that the law is on our side, we've hardly heard a peep from him in years. :)
 
My new downstairs neighbors have been alright so far. Quiet for the most part~

My mom stopped by one night to pick my daughter and I up because we hadn't seen her in a long while, and she was parked next to my car for 5 minutes and when we got loaded up, there was a note on her windshield from our downstairs neighbor stating "park in our parking spot again and we'll have you towed".

I felt that was quite a over-reaction, I'd understand if she were parked there over night or for prolonged period of time, but our neighbor was standing outside and ducked away when they saw us come out.

Oh, and their dog was yapping at our ankles the entire time I was trying to get loaded into the car. Our complex doesn't allow dogs, and my daughter has been bitten by a dog before and is afraid of them~

So if they really want to complain, I can complain, too. Especially if their yappy little thing keeps bothering us~

What's funny, is we've never complained before about other people parking in our parking spot. It's always been our maintenance manager that was like "dude, that's not cool of them I'm going to make them move" and I'm like "okay whatev" never really cared either way

I think people worry about the pettiest stupidest things now a days.

But a dog biting my daughter? Yeah, I tend to not like that so much~
 
The neighbours in the apartment complex where I live tend to not get in each other's way for the most part. There are three floors with four units per floor, two of them right next to each other and a long stretch of walkway between them and the next pair of flats. I don't know 90% of the people who live here, especially since it seems like there are always new tenants moving in.

The neighbours next door to us are a very lovely young couple in their 30s. The husband is in IT, he fixes conmputers, often works from home but also drives out to do on-site work and collections. The wife works at the local broadcasting station. They have no children (nor do they plan to) but they do have a very lovable Burmese longhair named Hobbes. He meows hello ("eh-oooow", in his high-pitched baby meow) when you talk to him. They used to have a shorthair named Calvin as well, but he disappeared several years ago. Before that I used to cat sit for them when they went on holiday. They haven't asked me to in years, though, and I think they take Hobbes to the kitty hotel now instead. They were renovating at one point, and it was noisy, but they gave due notice beforehand. The only thing they ever do to annoy us is they cook entirely too well – you can always smell something amazing coming from their kitchen in the evenings, but they never invite us over. :<

The flat I share with my mom is on the ground floor, and the upstairs neighbours are a bit of a pain. They don't have carpets, so when they drop something it sounds like it's going to fall straight through the ceiling, you can hear the bristles of the broom when they sweep (which they do religiously and for hours at a time), and when they wear heels or heavy shoes you can hear them lumbering about. They also very much enjoy hammering, and they have a very annoying alarm clock that can be heard most clearly in our bedrooms. You can also hear when anyone in the building opens their windows, and you can hear when the upstairs neighbours are washing their hands, running a bath or flushing the toilet.

There is a very nice elderly lady living on the second floor on the opposite end of the complex. I visited her once or twice. The one time I was with my boyfriend and it was late in the evening. He waited outside while she showed me her house, and then she kept me chatting in her kitchen for so long he thought she'd kidnapped me. She lives alone and her children don't visit her, so she's rather lonely, and I feel quite sorry for her.

In the flat below her is our "landlady" or superintendent (not really sure what her actual standing is, as our apartments have a committee). She is what by American standards would be considered "trailer trash". She has one of the most boorish South African accents and she liked to order our elderly gardener around very loudly. She used to walk around in slippers and a nightgown with messy hair. When I started going out with my boyfriend, he was dropping me off at my house late one night, but as there was nowhere to park he stopped in a spot along the driveway next to the wall. Not five minutes later she came out of her flat and screamed at him that he was in someone else's parking spot and that he was being rude, ignorant and selfish, then told him to park elsewhere or leave. I believe there were other incidents with her over the years, but I can't remember them at the moment. I haven't seen her in a long time, though, as a few months ago she had a stroke. She was in hospital for a long time, and when she eventually came back she was in a wheelchair. I think she has someone looking after her now.
 
*raises hand* Me Me!

I don't think my neighbors like us because we are bikers. And because they are scared of our big dog, lol. Every time we walk outside in the alley, they run away. They could be working in their garage with all their stuff outside and as soon as we walk out to the alley to do something, they put everything away and shut the garage. I would say coincidence, but this has been going on for many years...

And then there's the ex cop down the street who loves to turn people in for stupid stuff. We built a fence in our back yard and he called the city about us. Apparently we need a permit to build a little 5 foot fence that spans 10 feet in our own yard. Weird. I thought it was pretty crappy that he has nothing better to do than tattle tale on neighbors.

And I can't help but think that our neighbors are a little racist out here....just little things they say makes me think that....hmmm

I feel for those that live in apartments! I did that for many years and boy did it suck when you get the one annoying neighbor that ruins it for everyone.
 
Gosh, so many of you have neighbours that really wanna get in your buisiness :surprisepony: That would creep me out quite abit as I'm a very private person.

@MustBeJewel that neighbour of yours sounds like an absolute nutter. I'm glad to hear it calmed down once he realized you had the cops on your side :p

@LightningSilver-Light I completely agree. People these days seems to try their absolute hardest to find things to complain about >.< At least you have some amo (them having a dog) if they decide to keep complaining about ridiculous things. Should get them quiet hopefully :p

@ladyofthenight sounds like your building has waaay too thin walls >.< And that landlady really seemd to have some issues o_O Not that anyone deserves to have a stroke, nor do I in any way say it's a good thing, but I'm assuming she's calmed down since then which would be a nice change of pace :p

@Marble Dragon it's such a shame people still judge others by how they look :sadpony: On the bright side though, if they're afraid of you they will probably leave you alone :p That ex-cop sounds like another one of those nosy anyoing neighbours that would really get under my skin. I'm sorry you have to deal with such a person =/


All of your stories just reminds me of what my next-door neighbour told us a little while ago.
She is on the board for our neighbourhood and so she knows quite alot of people in all the buildings here. And she told us that there apperently are some quite nosy people in our neighbourhood aswell. Two old ladies who loves to go around the neighbourhood and starring into peoples windows >.< Now we always have our blinds shut because 1. I'm not a huge fan of sunlight. and 2. The buildings are very close to eachother so people can easily look straight into our appartment from their appartments if the blinds aren't shut and I don't like that.
Those two nosy old women had asked her if she knew who we were, why we always have our blinds shut and what our deal was as if it's any of their buisiness :madpony:
She had just told them she had no idea who we were even though she knows us very well :p And I said to her: "If they ask again just tell them that you ran into us, asked about why we always have our blinds shut and how we said it's because we don't like nosy neighbours starring into our home" Maybe they'll get the hint XD
 
Funny thing, whenever my mom is in the kitchen and there are people in the parking area, or there's a car at the gate, or the people across the street are doing something, she's always peeking over the windowsill (the windows are high enough that my short a$$ has to stand on tippy toes to see out of them completely). She's become the nosy neighbourhood grandma. But then, it's a good thing she does, because on two or three separate occasions one of the dogs from across the street has somehow escaped the property while nobody was home and gone loping up and down in the middle of the road. She was so afraid it would get hit by a car that she forced me to go out and save it. Then it happened again, and again... they don't seem bothered to keep their dog locked in.

Also, there's another complex of flats immediately next to ours. Because our cats throughly destroyed the curtains every time we tried closing them, they are now permanently open. There is a window into a spare bedroom in the other block of flats directly opposite our living room, and we often see the people who live there walking around inside, so they're probably looking in at us and thinking what a mess our house is. Likely also wondering why there are so many teddy bears on the cabinets and why I never bother to put on pants... :p
 
Yesterday my upstairs neighbour on the 2nd floor was talking ALL DAY LONG a mile a minute in Arabic quite loudly. I had my windows shut but could still hear him very clearly and he seemed to be pretty upset about something. He also sings karaoke very badly but that just makes me crack up. I live in a large building with 2 other buildings on the same property, I think there's about 80 or more units in my building. All the people around me are pretty good, the loudest neighbour is down the hall and across and her new born baby wails a lot but she does her best with him. I also don't complain about people being noisy unless its extreme, because my little dog has issues being home alone (been working with her for a year and a half now) and I know she barks for a while when I leave her. Throughout the building though there are A LOT of weirdo's, druggies, drunks, you name it. People like to throw their trash out the windows too, too lazy to put it down the garbage shoot so I'll usually be outside collecting pop cans and bottles to get the money for them when I see them out there. People will park in someone elses parking spot all the time, and those who don't want to pay for a parking spot (which is required if you own a vehicle), will park in the visitors area instead keeping it full all the time so there's no where for actual visitors to park. Management does their best but they can't keep towing everybody all the time and keeping track of who is parking where.
I really don't mind it here since this place allows pets and finding a place like that is few and far between these days. The worst thing that's happened in my 8 months of being here so far is some drunk guys taking fire exstinguishers and spraying them in all the halls setting off the alarm and and scaring people in to thinking it was a real fire and really pissing off the firefighters that came, had to get the policed involved and the whole nine yards that night.
 
@Desert_Rose- yeah, I typically don't like to feel that way... but when my daughter has a fear of dogs and one's yapping at our ankles then we find a note for being parked for 5 minutes... heh... I start to think things~ I'm very lenient in these matters because there is a rule where there's absolutely no pets allowed here. But when people are being stupid, like getting miffed over something they shouldn't or should be more patient about, then I begin to think things~


@Hunniebun - sheesh, that sounds very similar to our old apartment complex. We lived on the corner of a main street, across the street from the bar x___x
So we had varying forms of crazy fluctuating through out lives.

Noisy nights, noisy hall ways, unstable neighbors... I have too many stories about that place. A few fire threats because of drunk people lighting dumpster fires, a homeless guy sneaking into the basement and living there, getting drunk knocking over a lamp causing a small fire... to the building ultimately getting burnt down, and everyone being rescued by a guy standing out in front of the bar who saw smoke coming from part of the building.

One time a homeless lady from the mental institute actually broke into the building and tried "evicting one of the tenants by claiming she was the land lord". She had also camped out in a vacant apartment for some time >___> and when the tenant tried saying "you're not the land lord, get out" the lady replied "That lady is a bimbo. I'm THE REAL land lord".
<____<

A couple times I swear a couple neighbors that set off internal alarms and red flags in my instincts, were scoping out our apartment to see if they could steal anything.

One ultimately was caught stealing from other tenants, the other was just really fixated on checking out what all electronics we had... my instincts were shouting "get out".
He was smoking in his apartment and never paid rent~ and had a bogus personality from being a drunk >___<

It was just scary at times, I'm much more at ease living near a school where streets are much quieter.
 
That's why I really hate it when my boyfriend leaves his blinds WIDE open (not just turned open but pulled to the side) in his kitchen/dining area and living room, exposing everything he has and he's on the first floor by the front door, his deck right beside the front door. He even keeps them wide open when its dark too. I tell him over and over that he's letting everyone who walks by see what he owns and what they could steal.
Someone set the dumpster on fire too a few weeks ago, I forgot about that.
