What Are Some Of The Things That Annoy You?

The neighbor upstairs who sounds like he's herding elephants around. At 3 am. And 6 am. What are you doing up there, man??

I don't miss living in an apartment for that reason alone!

True that, used to live in a condo and all of us were owners except the fool above me.  I have no idea what the hell was going on up there.

Maybe he was playing the congas with my silly upstairs neighbor. :/

I kid you not, it sound like war! up there.  Im pretty sure they were not playing the congas, rather beating each other with them. /default_blink.png

Well I KNOW that's part of what's going on upstairs. Who does that?! Grumble grumble.

They became very popular with local PD.  Just before I sold (they played a roll in that decision) myself and the owners gave the owner of the rebels a ultimatum.  They got evicted.

Wood frame apartments are the worst. You can hear EVERYTHING. I would rather live in the gutter than in a wood framed building. Unfortunately leasing agents are not honest about sound quality, they just want to lease the apartment, you have to know what you are looking for, and ask questions. Especially, is there concrete between the floors. There should be five inches or more. A bomb could go off upstairs and you would not hear it. In this country, the apartment boom was in the late sixties/early seventies. That is when most apartments were built....pretty much all with wood frames. There are a few exceptions but mot many. They can remodel them, dress them up and they will look great. BUT when you move in, you can hear the neighbors urinating and everything else. Sometimes just walking can cause so much noise for the people downstairs that they cannot sleep. I would ALWAYS recommend talking to another tenant. Leasing agents lie through their teeth. I have seen SO many people's lives upended because of this. I have been the one to tell them I cannot let them out of their lease. Buildings built after 1984 ish are mostly going to be type 2b construction, which is concrete and steel. But you have to ask. Also, look at the ceilings...are they sheet rock or are there concrete seams? If there is a balcony, is the floor of it concrete or wood? If anyone needs help getting out of an apartment lease, contact me. I have quite a few tricks.

I think youre nightstalker/daywalker

back on topic apartments suck ass, my neighbors used to beat the shit out of each other and I could hear everything. Never again will I live in an apartment

people who call my phone 72 times in 3 hours. Its obvious Im not answering so quit fucking blowing me up! /default_angry.png  I hate when my phone dies and when I plug it in I realize it was due to excessive calling, makes me wait even longer to call back

 

[happypappy]

Agree mm. I hate when people blow up my phone as if I don't know they're calling. It drives me nuts. I also take my time calling back. This happens quite often and I'm sick of it!

 

[MedicatedM]

yea if they would just call one time and send one text Id call right back as soon as I could but twenty missed calls in a few hours makes me wait a day or three before I call back

Ironically, this very thing is happening right now. Some asshole broker I do business with has called 8 times in the past hour and won't leave a message, on a Sunday of all things. Just keeps calling back. That's going to buy him a spot on next Friday's call back list. Makes my blood boil. If it's an emergency, leave a damn message for God's sake, or text me. ONCE!

 

[happypappy]

Exactly jewy wth is wrong with people. Its that simply leave a message or text!

I'm sorry Pappy, what?? I can't hear you over this f*cking phone!!

You guys are obviously not familiar with the 12 call rule?  On the 12th call you might be busy... But not before that!!

Oh, it's not 15? Are you sure? 15 calls in a half hour seems reasonable doesn't it? For a non-emergency situation.

Don't you wonder how many times these people would call in a true emergency situation? I shudder to think.

I could have some of my facts off, there is a first time for everything.  /default_tongue.png  But as we all know there is nothing more important than some fool call you over and over.

Most of the people that actually know me, know better. If they call twice and I dont answer they then send a text and if thats no good they stop. I also have this new thing called voicemail.
