well ill vent with you
several years ago shortly after becoming married to a lovely young lady we moved into our first one bed room apt together on the second floor.
We had a crabby, bitchy downstairs neighbor couple probably 15 years our seniors.
One day, i was playing Splinter cell on the Xbox on one lazy, sunny afternoon.
There i sat, indian style in the floor, home alone in almost complete peace and silence, doing nothing in particular except sneaking the splinter cell guy stealthily and silently through a building when all of the sudden there was a very vigerous and emergency like knock at the door.
as we had only just lived there a few days i assumed some of my ass hole friends were the culprits of the intrusive knock so i answered the door.
much to my surprise, a woman i had never seen before, rather plump... perhaps 5'6" with short lesbianesque hair and overall drab appearance got nose to nose with me shouting obscenities about the noise coming from my dwelling which disturbed her as she lived right beneath me.
I explained to her that there must be some mistake, as i have been sitting there almost motionless for the better part of an hour enjoying a rather lazy sunday afternoon.
she wasnt buying it.
this exchange occurred several more times throughout my time there.
On two occasions she rushed to the managers office and brought them to my apartment complaining of noise and complained that i was not answering the door... GOOD REASON FOR NOT ANSWERING THE DOOR WAS THAT WE WERE NOT EVEN IN TOWN THAT WEEKEND.
i thought it odd that the manager left me a note on my door which asked me to stop by the office.
I did so, and was asked "so you had quite a super bowl party this wekend i'm told"
a bit confused i said "Sure... it wasnt bad i guess"
the manager then went on about how noise was not tolerated and neither was refusing to asnwer the door about noise complaints.
i explained that my super bowl party was being conducted "over 90 miles East of here, nobody was home in my unit all weekend."
when asked if i had proof, i produced several receipts which placed me purchasing party supplies (soft drinks, chips, ice, gas, food etc) over a 3 day period in Shreveport Louisiana.
the manager looked the receipts over and said "nobody was in your unit all weekend?" to which i replied "not unless i was being robbed... and nothing is missing or out of place... so no, the place was divoid of activity for the past 36 hours minimum."
i was told to disregard the complaint and try to appease the downstairs neighbor in the future.
however a few days later the neighbor came up to my unit again complaining of noise. "it sounds like you guys are up here doing @#&^ jumping jacks!!!" she screamed at my face.
"Ma'am we were in a dead sleep... i cant imagine what sound it is you are possibly hearing but i can promise you my snoring doesnt sound like jumping jacks... you probably shouldnt come running up here beating my GD MF'n door down every single time your dumb ass hear a little bump."
i proceeded to slam the door in her face knowing i was moving out in a week anyway.
i never saw or heard from her again.
neighbors in apartment areas are a real pain
