Highlights of our residency:
10. ROACHES- We thought of charging them rent for living with us. We fogged twice at our own expense and bought stock in Raid and still couldn't get rid of them. The least they could do was take out the trash or load the dishwasher once in a while!
9. PIGS- the majority of our neighbors like to live in filth. They throw their junk mail on the floor in front of the mailboxes. Our upstairs "neighbors" liked to throw food waste and trash off their balcony onto the ground in front of our patio. They also leave it along with their cigarette butts in the hallways which usually smell like a urinal. Got to love seeing those used condoms laying around. They hang out on the stoop to make drug deals or yell at each other at night like it's a sport.
8. Letters- Unless you love to write letters and have a masochistic streak, your complaints will be totally ignored. I've found that it's usually a waste of time anyway because they never follow up. Maybe they expect to be tipped in order to motivate them to do anything'
7. Goldfish- If you want to feel like a little fishie swimming in a glass bowl, this is the place for you! I can't tell you how many times I've looked at the sliding glass door and found people on MY PATIO staring in at me and checking out our stuff to see if it was worth their time to steal. We finally put up frosted contact paper so at least we could get a little light in instead of having the blinds closed 24/7.
6. Exercise- If you need exercise, move in now! Most of the time we have to park over by the office and walk all the way over to the other side behind Ollie's which is a real treat late at night.
5. Laundry- Nothing like the feeling of pulling fresh warm WET clothes out of the dryer. That's IF you can get in there in the first place. People here like to leave their clothes in the washer for hours (days'')at a time. I guess they figure it will dry just as fast as putting it in the dryer''
4. Security- Yeah, right! They might as well get one of those HOV Lane inflatable passengers and put them in a car for all the good it does. I don't think these guys have any legs as I have never seen them anywhere except in their nice safe car in the front of the building under a streetlamp where THEY won't get mugged!
3. Free Cable- When we moved in, we turned on the TV and there was fuzzy cable. Called Adelphia and ordered the digital with HBO etc. When they came to install it, the HBO was beautiful but everything else was no better than it was before. So we cancelled and have free cable (depending on the weather, tides and stage of the moon!).
2. Police- Don't mind them, they're just there to make your stay as pleasant as possible! Especially at 3am when they're looking for some criminal and insist that he's in your apartment and that they be allowed in to check.
1. Mail- Last but not least, this is my favorite! I have to have all packages mailed to my office because the mail carrier will leave anything that won't fit into the mailboxes ON THE FLOOR! I am not kidding when I say that I have had packages opened and left on the floor because someone had checked it out to see if it was something they wanted or not.
