I've woken up to see flashing lights on more than one occasion, which initially made me think I was being abducted by aliens.<br /><br />Hi Talli,<br /> The smoke drives me crazy. I've tried candles, air purifiers, and air fresheners. Nothing seems to get rid of the smell completely.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-71809916497221423342010-09-07T08:59:52.008-05:002010-09-07T08:59:52.008-05:00I SO relate to this!

One of them BBQs in the garden outside and the smoke drifts up and into our lounge.

But I think you handled the situation well....<br /><br />I know - it's so funny that you don't know your neighbor's names, but somehow you encroach on one another's personal spaces - especially with sound. <br /><br />I live a block from a bar, so I hear stumbling, loud drunks around 2:00 am. And I've been privileged to all sorts of fights, snippets of conversation, and police visits through my window.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-9811011244025216582010-09-05T22:22:22.886-05:002010-09-05T22:22:22.886-05:00Hi Sadako,

It's too bad that calling the cops hasn't been enough to stop your neighbors. <br /><br />Hi notesfromnadir,<br /> I've lived in apartment buildings for years. All those reasons are why I dream of having my own house someday. Then I wouldn't have to know so much about my neighbors.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-33828677671136469442010-09-03T17:13:35.228-05:002010-09-03T17:13:35.228-05:00You have my utmost sympathy.

That't the problem w/ apt. buildings -- they're not ever quiet. Hope you find a quieter place soon.notesfromnadirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904500676081267972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-22146483600686655282010-09-03T16:59:16.412-05:002010-09-03T16:59:16.412-05:00it is possible but I've already called the cop...it is possible but I've already called the cops on my neighbors below me twice, I don't want to end up with a dead rat on my doorstep.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915603693944523761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-19921354576775613362010-09-03T15:52:31.392-05:002010-09-03T15:52:31.392-05:00Yuck.

If only we could get our neighbors to stop doing stuff like that, you know? Because it affects everyone.<br /><br />Hi KarenG,<br /> Thank you! That's very nice of you to say. I have thought about writing a memoir; I want to write fiction but the good thing about writing memoir is that I'd already have ideas on what to write. <br /><br />Hi Hannah,<br /> I don't really talk to my neighbors either, because then I might call them out on their smoking or their habit of leaving trash lying around. <br /> Gee, the weed thing would suck. Is it possible to call the police on them?Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-10925699982535202992010-09-01T20:52:56.104-05:002010-09-01T20:52:56.104-05:00Ugh that's too close to my life here in this ...Ugh that's too close to my life here in this small apartment. My boyfriend, however, loves to chin wag with just about everyone and knows there names. And he'll say, Oh I was just talking to John and I'm like, who? My neighbor? No. Why would I talk to them? You're weird. <br /><br />Anywho, I love when my apartment fills with cigarette smoke or better yet, the smell of weed. And then I can go to work and people look at me sorta funny because I smell like I've been getting high at home.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915603693944523761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-57649200373248515432010-08-31T22:23:29.568-05:002010-08-31T22:23:29.568-05:00Omigosh another hilarious true life post from you....Omigosh another hilarious true life post from you. I swear I would read an entire book just about your daily life. I ate up every sentence of this. The vision of you rushing up the stairs dropping socks has me LOLing. I've never lived in an apt building. Can you please write a book about yours? Thank you. I'll buy the first copy.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-11155120871595744692010-08-31T21:42:53.125-05:002010-08-31T21:42:53.125-05:00The smoke kills me.

Because we complained about this, our management company is sending over an exterminator later this week and everyone in the building is blaming us for the inconvenience of having to move everything out of closets and drawers. <br /><br />So, what I'm saying here is: I feel you, sister.NGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056381269070465424noreply@blogger.com
