Apartment Life #89


This is a new weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 20 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 20 years here in a weekly blog post.

I was walking Falcor the other morning when I saw this blanket move. Scared the bejuju's outta me too. Then I saw the guys face. It was one of the meth heads that used to hang out at the drug dealers apartment before he got kicked out. He laid down cardboard on the rocks and laid on that with his blanket. I thought it was just a pile of blankets or rugs or trash there and then it moved. Damn, scared me half to death. 

The the next day he moved and was sleeping a little further down the path. He's been hanging out across the street where some of the other drug dealers live. I found him passed out in front of a parked car about a week ago. Falcor barked at him and he woke up but was so high or drunk he couldn't even get up. The apartment manager has called the cops on him twice now but they just make him get up and move. One day he was so high and couldn't walk so the police called an ambulance and he was gone for a couple of days but he's baaaack. #DontDoDrugs 

On Thursday our apartment manager finally opened the swimming pool. One of the women from across the street decided she would take a dip and that didn't go over well with the manager who told her she had to get out and leave since she doesn't live her. The woman apparently told the manager, "You don't have to tell me to get out of the pool, I live on this street." The manager made her get out and leave and she must have told the people in the courtyard where she lives because they were over there across the street screaming at my manager calling her a bitch, that they should be able to use the pool. lol 

I suggest you go take a cold shower because the manager ain't letting you get in our pool. She closes the pool and locks the gate right before she leaves at 5pm and because she's not here on the weekends, the pool isn't open then either. Now she said that you'll have to come in the office and sign in and show that you're a resident before getting in the pool. The pool in in the same courtyard as the office so she see's everyone that goes in it. 


So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

  1. So even the residents can't use the pool on the weekends? That seems wrong to me. Very wrong.

  5. Pathetic that guy can be high and the cops can't just arrest him and toss him in jail.

  6. That is the perfect story to tell people to scare them away from drugs! I used to live in this really uppity trailer park back in the day and the manager was just like that lady about the pool there too lol

    1. Yeah it's a story to tell the kids for sure. I was laughing that she though because she lived across the street that she could use the pool.

  7. Why cops? Aren't these homeless, drugged people under the care/surveillance of the Social Services? After all, it's not some third world country here.

    1. They only get social services if they go fill out the paperwork and even then there's not a lot of programs for the homeless and addicts. So the police are called to remove them.

  8. The pool monitor is doing what she needs to do I guess.

  9. I would have been scared by the moving blanket as well. I don't understand why the general public thinks these people want help? If they are meth heads, they just want more drugs! SMH . . .

    I didn't know you had a pool for your apartments. Cracks me up that someone down the street thinks she can use it. You can't even use a 'community pool' in our town without buying a pass! And I'd like to see someone go jump in their neighbor's pool! LOL!

    1. He is definitely a meth head and just wants the next high. I can believe that these people around here thought they could just come over and use the pool with the kind of people we have round here.

  10. Yes moving blankets are incredibly scary. While kayaking this week. I saw a man setting up his home with a plastic tarp hanging over a tree. It's amazing the way some people can live. I'm thankful everyday I have a roof over my head:)

  11. I would have been scared when the blanket moved too! Especially because it is hard to imagine a person under it- it looks so small.

    I find it amazing that people who don't live in your apartment complex would think they could use the pool. It sounds like the manager has it under control. Good luck!

    1. It doesn't surprise me at all anymore. Nothing anyone does around here surprises me anymore.

  12. The pool sounds like a hassle. All she needs is a druggie drowning and then it will be closed all the time.

    1. I'm actually surprised that hasn't happened yet.

  13. Sound interesting. Well the swimmer in pool wasn't skinny dipping or was she?

  15. Nothing good comes from sleeping outside unless you're a hiker

  16. A shame that you guys can't use your own pool on the weekends (which is probably when a lot of people would have more time to use it). I can understand why they don't want just anyone in it, though. Seems like they could come up with a better system, but I'll confess that your neighborhood doesn't sound like it's the best---guess that's all you can hope for.

    1. My neighborhood is bad. The pool hardly ever gets used.

  17. I didn't know you had access to a pool? Seems a bit weird to be spending maintenance money on that when the residents hardly get any use out of it!

    1. Yeah we have a pool but I haven't used it in years. There are 32 apartments that surround it and when people are in it, a lot of the residents will stand sit sit outside and watch you. It's creepy. lol

  18. That's weird you can't use the pool on weekend as i figure that's when most people want to use it.

    I can imagine you got a scare when that blanket suddenly moved and it turned out there was a person underneath it.

    1. Maybe with the new owners and new manager comeing in at the end of the month things might change with the pool hours.

  19. Gotta love them freeloaders who don't pay the fees for the pool but still think they are entitled to use it. Glad she got her butt thrown out of it!
