Receipts?

psychodelicide said:

c'mon now. even YOU are not too young not to remember the famous whitney interview. "crack is wack! i don't buy crack! show me the receipts!"

Anx said:

Oh yeah, now I remember.

psychodelicide said:

you were probably too busy being angry to remember, i forgive you.

Anx said:

wait, what's this thread about again?

oh, right:

totally. you should TOTALLY get a pet sheep. yup.

(((((Nan))))) so sorry to hear about the bitch downstairs, you are one of the sweetest persons I have had the pleasure of interacting with!

I have kinda a funny story about my upstairs neighbour...

One day she just shows up at my door and invites herself in, um ok... so she comes in and is quite bold and is talking a mile a minute all the while picking up my personal belongings off shelves and inspecting them (this is the first time I met her). It was all quite amusing to me since I had never met her before....

So at some point in her talking, she completely switches the topics and asks if I can hear her upstairs when she is playing her music or walking in her shoes (she stomps quite loudly). I tell her "yes". She stops and looks all offended, and asks "which one?" I smile and tell her both. She starts into this rant about how I should have come knocked on her door yada yada, so I stop her and explain to her that its ok, it's part of living in a building that you share with others and I know that she is not intentionally trying to annoy me - if it was a problem I would have come and knocked on her door.

She then excused herself to go talk to another neighbour..

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people want to "live" in their homes, and that sometimes means vaccuming up a spill that happens in the middle of the night, or turning your fav cd up a bit louder when you come home from work and want to unwind. You still have to have respect for others, and yes there are some out there that abuse this. I guess that's why they say common sense isn't always so common

Mua! I can't believe that someone would come into your home, take off your shelf to look at it, then gets mad when she asks you if she makes too much noise, and you gave her an honest answer. I think I would have been really angry if someone came into my house and took stuff off my shelves without asking. Does she still live in your building?

LOL yea, like I said - it was amusing! I was wondering if she was going into the kitchen to see what was in my fridge next! hahahah

On the flip side, I put things I like on shelves so that I (and my guests) can enjoy them. If a 3 year old had shown a curiousity in these objects, it would have been encouraged. I don't know why we would have to discourage adults for the same actions .

And to answer your question - YUP, she still lives here

I've heard of people going into someone's refrigerator and having a look around. You're right, an adult should know better than to take something off a shelf without asking first.

That reminds of something that happened to my friends. In their previous apartment they had this upstairs neighbor and they work from home. One night, around 10pm or so they are working on their computers--the ceiling fan is on and their music on super super low. The guy upstairs comes down, knocks on the door and tells them to turn off their ceiling fan because it's too loud. Mind you this is summer in NY & they don't have ac. My friend is like, "uh, whatever. the fan is on low, you can't even hear it." The neighbor gets agitated says he's gonna get the super. My friend is like, "Be my guest, you're being ridiculous." SO the super comes and is like--you need to work it out or something (I don't remember.) But here's the good part: so neighbor goes upstairs and about 30 minutes later my friends hear another knock on the door. It's the NYPD!! They come in and are like, "Where's the party?" My friends are like--it's just us and our 2 cats. NYPD got a noise complaint from upstairs neighbor. The cops were like . So they go upstairs and evidently this guy had all the windows closed, no AC (it was stifling hot in the apt), no carpets or rugs and the mattress was lying directly on the floor.

My friends moved but they were going make flyers advertising a casting call or a new chinese restaurant and put crazy neighbors phone number on it. I don't think they did though--karma is a bitch.

I have my own apt. woes--my building is being demolished, so when my lease is up on 6/30 I have to move. I have a rent stabilized apartment and finding affordable housing in NYC is no picnic so I'm really dreading that.

That sucks about your neighbor. Make sure you document *everything* and just a word of advice--when you write your letter to the condo association...don't use the word "bitch" to describe her.

Good luck!

I think you have no choice but to kill her

However, you may wish to seek a second opinion.

Wow, I can't believe that neighbor complained about a ceiling fan being too loud. He and my bitchy neighbor should live above or below each other in the same building, so they can drive each other crazy.

Sorry to hear about your building being demolished, that's terrible. I hope you find another place quickly and that you like it.

I definitely won't use the word "bitch" to describe my neighbor, even though that's what she is.

Good luck to you as well in finding a new place to live.
