I live in a pretty nice place and it's relatively quiet most of the time but the last week has been trying. As it's been getting colder more and more people have been smoking in the lobby instead of outside. Besides the smell issues I am also bothered because there are no ashtrays meaning they are butting on the floor which is an obvious fire hazard. Worse yet on Thursday night I came home and walked in the door and my floor was all wet. Both of my sinks were full of smelly water. My counters and applieces were sitting in gross yellowish water. After I took a look around I realized that the pipes had backed up. We do not have garbage disposals in my building but apparantly some asshole neighbor thought that washing at least 2 cups of rice and black olives down the pipe was a good idea and being as I live on the ground floor it backed up at my place. I LOVE dealing with other peoples messes. Tonight I was scraping my car window (no garage) getting ready to go to the grocery store when a car came screetching up and some girl got out of the window just screaming. She was yelling at the top of her lungs something like "You fucking asshole I know you got a fucking 13 year-old whore up there". After a minute or two a dude came to teh balcony and started screaming back. I felt like I was watching an episode of David Springer. They were just screaming and every other word was "fuck". It was after 10:00 at night so it was doubly innappropiate. Hopefully Amy is able to buy us a house soon
I'm sure other people have even worse or funnier things happen where they live so this is the thread to vent. If you haven't done so already, you should demand your landlord at least have your carpet professionally steam cleaned. Is there a reason why your neighbors simply don't smoke in their own appartments instead of the lobby? | |

I recently moved into a two bedroom apartment (even though I live alone, I wanted the extra room as an office). The nice thing is, my bedroom is really far away from the main hallway, and there's a walkin closet seperating me from my neighbors bedroom, so I hear virtually no noise.
At my last place, my bedroom was basically right next to some other guys living room. It was a nightmare because the moment I would lay down to sleep, he would come walking in from work and crank up the TV or have people over. I spent many nights sleeping on the couch instead. Then in the summer, the whole appartment complex would become inested with millipedes. I was killing like 20 a day, crawling across my carpet. They would spray the building, and it would clear things up for a couple weeks, then they would start coming back again. The worst was, I was leaving my place to go to work, and when I walked outside, my car was propped up on bricks, and someone had stole my tire/rim. This time around I got a garage, so I can sleep at night not worrying about that, lol. And our community is gated, as an extra precaution. | |

My new ground floor appartment is heaven. Front AND back garden (need gardener), three rooms. Alas, no bathroom, but a shower and the lay out of the rooms is really weird, but still.
The neighbours are just as aloof as I like them and my upstairs neighbour's only fault is a creaky door that she opens at the weirdest times, but that somehow feels quaint. My cats (real fuzzy) immediately liked the appartment, whereas they HATED my Parisian appartment, while that one had waaay more class, lol. | |

Is there a reason why your neighbors simply don't smoke in their own appartments instead of the lobby? Luckily my carpets didn't take much abuse as there is some seperation between the kitchen floor and the carpet. As for the smoking I have always been baffled. I suspect that sometimes somebody moves in with someone who will not allow smoking. As long as I have lived in apartments it seems that people tend to smoke in entrences. | |
