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 21 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 21 years here in a weekly blog post.
On Tuesday the ambulance showed up for someone across the street but they left without taking anyone.
On Wednesday night around midnight Ken and I heard gunshots but it wasn't real close so I didn't bother to call the police since it sounded like it was a couple of streets over and I wasn't sure where. But less than 10 minutes later we heard police sirens in the same area so someone called the police. A couple of weeks ago she walked by my door and screamed, "You have a scary f*cking window" and just kept screaming it as she walked through the courtyard. lol
This homeless woman goes to the drug apartment all the time and routinely walks through my courtyard screaming incoherent things. And she screams really loud. Saturday morning I saw a bunch of clothes, signs and miscellaneous stuff on the ground by the old shop door. Later on my daughter saw the woman going through her stuff there.
She brings her stuff here and leaves it and comes back to either take some stuff or bring more stuff. If it's still there Monday morning when the maintenance man and porter come through they will throw it all in the trash so I hope she puts it somewhere else if she wants to keep it.
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
Uh. Every week I wonder how you manage to live there and stay sane.
ReplyDeleteThe window incident was funny! The poor woman must have mental issues though, on top of being homeless.
My window was decorated for Halloween. I guess she didn't like it.
DeleteI have been scared of a lot of things - but not a window.
ReplyDeleteThat poor woman.
You sound to have a relatively quiet week this week - long may it continue.
Hopefully it will be quiet for a while.
DeleteIt's becoming harder and harder to live in an apartment complex anywhere. People are more aggressive, more sick physically and mentally. Authorities are corrupted and inefficient.
ReplyDeleteyeah it is.
DeleteI hope that she gets the help she needs. Sending lots of well wishes and hugs to you guys! RO
ReplyDeleteI hope so too but I doubt it.
DeleteHas anyone ever called the cops on her?
ReplyDeleteUnless she's breaking the law somehow they won't do anything.
DeleteI find myself wondering what she thought was so scary about the window...
ReplyDeleteBecause my daughter decorated it for Halloween.
DeleteThe fun never ends!
ReplyDeleteit sure doesn't.
DeleteHave a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWhat an odd collection of bits and pieces. Goodness knows what she's doing with them. And what's all the screaming about, I wonder? A scary window? She must be seriously disturbed.
ReplyDeleteThere is a grim reaper in my window. I don't know why she screams. Mentally ill maybe.
DeleteShe sounds a bit scary to me, I'll take the window instead of her!
ReplyDeleteYou and me both.
DeleteOdd woman... glad you were safe
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Deleteshe probably has mental issues and either has no access to help or doesn't want it. so sad...and scary that she is in your courtyard
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
I think that's it.
DeleteSounds like you've had a fun week. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI will try.
DeleteGunshots and a troubled homeless person...another typical week for you! Hope you and Ken are doing well...and that you have a good week this week!
ReplyDeleteThank you.

ReplyDeleteShe definitely could use some professional help with her problems.
Yes she could but I doubt she will get it.
DeleteYour place is scary
ReplyDeletelol I know.
DeleteI am amazed at all the activity in your apartment building. I hope the lady found a safe place for her stuff. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
It's still sitting in the same place.
DeleteOk, I know it’s sad, but I had to chuckle at her yelling about your window! Lol!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was funny at the time too.
DeleteSounds like a typical week around your place. Hope that woman holds onto her stuff!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Very typical week.
DeleteDoes anyone ever get put in a straight jacket.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe and Coffee is on
Not that I've seen so far.
DeleteI really feel bad for for homeless people. So often they have mental illness or drug addiction issues. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she does too.
DeleteGunshots are not good. Hope this week is a quiet one for you!!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteI guess a "scary window" is one way to keep the riff raff away, lol! Joking aside, she sounds like she has some issues.
ReplyDeleteThat's one way. Yeah she does.
DeleteI was surprised to learn from your story that someone cursed loudly because they didn't like your window decoration .... oh, I have never encountered such things in the city I live in.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you and your family are always doing well in that environment.
Greetings from Indonesia.
Thank you.
DeleteSounds scary!
ReplyDeleteMy window is. lol
DeleteThat must have been some window display you had. :-) I hope the homeless woman's stuff isn't thrown out and she gets to it in time. She has so little already.
ReplyDeleteIt was gone Monday morning. I don't know if she got it or not.
DeleteGeez, got a crazy lady and gunshots. Not a fun week.
ReplyDeleteNot fun at all.
