I Hate Apartment Living... Let Me Tell You Why

[Jessika]

I've had MULTIPLE complaints that _I_ don't pick up after Jasper, when in fact I pick up after not just him but other peoples' dogs as well.

Yup that's another issue we're dealing with. GRRR

I just got a voicemail from the property manager saying that there is a complaint that my dog barks all day. I know that she gets anxious when I leave but I cannot see her barking all day. Plus if she hears people out in the hall, she'll bark because she's being protective. So if my neighbours would take a little care in closing their doors and walking like human beings, then maybe she wouldn't bark so much. However, I know it can be annoying. I just don't understand why they don't come see me and talk to me. I have never complained to the property management about the noise, and the smell of smoke and other disgusting smells because I know it's part of apartment living. However, I did complain to the neighbour making noise but I talked to him.

I sympathize with all apartment residents!!! I wish I could afford a detached house so I don't have to deal with neighbours.

Apartment living just plain sucks. I've lived in an apartment all my adult life and have had my share of awful neighbors, including a single parent of 2 small kids who played ring around the rosey in the living room at 10 pm! (I lived below them). It was terrible. Her boyfriend used to bring over his puppy and tie it up to the bannister in the hallway. After calling the police numerous times (my landlord advised me to do so), they finallly moved out and I took that apartment. I will NEVER live beneath anyone ever again.

The last two days I've gone out to walk Jamie there's been a woman watching me. Not someone watching from their own porch, she's like... standing by a tree. And tonight there was a person outside with a flashlight, and when I showed up, they turned it off and hid behind a tree. So... yeah.

That's freaking creepy.
