(34,651 posts)I know all about the ones who crank their home theater up the entire goddamn weekend. In the couple of years when I lived in an apartment, I had one of those next door to me for a year. It shook the entire place. Had they not moved out, and that noise continued, I probably would have been driven to violence. It was maddening. And, the garbage thing--yeah. T the college boys who later moved in on the other side, threw theirs into the storage closet out back, rather than take it to the dumpster. Which they had to pass in order to exit the complex. The management had to fumigate it after they left. SMGDH.
But, at least none of these assholes started their kitchen on fire, like someone a few buildings down did one day. Their fuck-up ruined two other households, along with their own. Not as bad as where my sister used to live, though. The whole building across from them went up in flames, and dozens of families lost everything. That's the worst thing about living in multi-family buildings. You have to hope your neighbors don't do something stupid that will start the place on fire, or blow it up.
