Apartment Life #253
This is a 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 23 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 23 years here in a weekly blog post.
When I took Falcor out first thing in the morning I spotted a tent on the path where I usually walk him. I took this picture from my door so you can see how close it was to our apartments.
When I got out on the path, I took another picture so you can see that only the fence separated the tent from my courtyard. I saw the lady that was in the tent later on that day. I've never seen her before but she was walking around in a 2 piece bathing suit. I haven't seen her or the tent since that day. Maybe she had an argument with her hubby and decided to go camping for the night. Who knows.

Of course the police ended up at my apartment complex this week. The ambulance was also here. I heard someone screaming at another person in one of my neighbors apartments. Next thing I know police are running in with their shotguns and the police helicopter is circling my complex and the lady was taken out on a stretcher.

So now for a little gossip.
I was taking the trash out and when I walked by the old shop door, I saw my married neighbor that I've told you about and his girlfriend inside there. He popped away from her so fast it was kinda comical. As as I coming back from putting the trash in the can, they were leaving the shop room. But the funniest thing was, she had a cordless drill and put two screws back in the door so it looked like no one had broken in there again. I mean, the lengths that these two are going to in order to find a place for a quickie is ridiculous.
This is the old shop door so you can get a picture of what I'm talking about. It's been nailed shut, busted open. Screwed shut, busted open. And they are even using some kind of metal brackets now that cordless drill woman has no problem getting by.
A couple of days later we had apartment inspections and the maintenance people were all over the place with the apartment manager who I got to meet for the first time in more than a year. One of the maintenance people caught the married guy and his girlfriend inside the old shop and kicked them out. Then the maintenance guy proceeded to put more screws into the door to nail it shut. Not that's it's going to stop cordless drill woman, she comes prepared. I just hope the married guy comes just as prepared for their little interludes or he might get more than he bargained for ie...an STD. Because she's one of the homeless methheads around here. I wonder if the married guy will get a warning letter about breaking into the shop. Would serve him right if his wife saw the letter before he did. Karma my friend, is a bitch and she's coming for you.
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
A quick update for those of you that follow by email. Feedburner is getting rid of that so I just deleted it. I don't plan on replacing it with anything.

I hope that karma does come for him. Big time.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will.
DeleteHi, Mary!
ReplyDeleteI have come to take a stroll around your complex with you and Falcor, dear friend!
That vanishing tent and the swimsuit clad woman in it are an unsolved mystery. Perhaps she intended to stay there longer but was asked or forced to relocate after someone contacted the authorities.
It must be disconcerting for you to live in close proximity to frequent loud arguments and eruptions of violence. Sounds like that second story was a case of domestic abuse.
That's a funny story about all the drillin' and screwin' going on at that old shop. I predict the guy's wife will throw a wrench into the works one of these days. :)
Have a safe and happy week ahead, dear friend Mary!
Tent lady hasn't been seen since.
DeleteThe police are here so often that I'm so used to it now.
Oh he's gonna get caught one if these times.
That would serve him right if his wife saw it first!
ReplyDeleteYes it would.
DeleteHope you don't turn into California with them tents... if you get what I mean...
ReplyDeleteOh I do. I see a few of them around here every once in a while.
DeleteMaybe married guy and meth-head should get themselves a tent. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteLol yes they should.
DeleteThe bathing suit is crazy, like everything else that you’ve reported!
ReplyDeleteLol right? Nothing surprises me anymore.
DeleteNothing would surprise me any more. I used to work at a community where the shop was in a basement space beneath two apartments. Boy did I get an education under there. That's all I'll say.
ReplyDeleteOh I can just imagine.
DeleteWow, what a bathing suit. Romance in a corner of vegas...sighs.
ReplyDeleteLol. It's always so nuts around here.
DeleteSounds like married guy's wife should get herself tested, cause no telling what he's spreading around from his girlfriend. BTW, there's a troll online that used to harass John Gray's Going Gently blog. That troll is now trolling me, so I've closed my comment box.
ReplyDeleteWell dang, I'm sorry to hear that.
DeleteThe coming and going tent is intriguing. Maybe as you say a temporary escape after a marital argument. An odd place for a tent though, you'd think she would have chosen somewhere a bit more picturesque!
ReplyDeleteI guess he didn't care where as long as it was away from where she had been.
DeleteThe things that go on where you live! Your stories always make me shake my head in disbelief. And sometimes make me laugh. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear it. I wouldn't believe it if I wasn't seeing it myself most of the time. When we first moved here it wasn't this bad.
DeleteThat couple are crazy. If the guy's wife finds out, she'll divorce him hopefully. It's crazy.
ReplyDeleteI know. My daughter and I were watching the wife take out the trash and hoping that the husband would get caught around the corner but he didn't.
DeleteThat guy is gonna get caught. Can't believe he's cheating with a meth-head! That probably won't be good for his health or his wife's! Never a dull day, Mary!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it either. No, never dull around here.
DeleteLady in a tent wearing a bathing suit? Only in your neighborhood 😂.
ReplyDeleteThe second case (whoa, I'm talking like we were on a CSI episode or something LOL) was a pitiful one. Poor woman. I hope she finds a safe place to stay after that.
"cordless drill woman" LOL. I mean, as they say...get a room! 😂 I hope he receives that letter and his wife sees it. It's not like they're doing a good job of being stealthy anyway...
So many things seem to only happen in my neighborhood.
DeleteI hope so too. Not sure what exactly happened.
They are not very smart at all.
So, it's the woman who's the professional with the drill and screws. The man is only a passive accomplice.He's probably skillful in some other way. LOL.
ReplyDeletelmao ok, you made me laugh with that one.
DeleteYou get a lot of blog fodder out of your neighborhood, that's for sure. Gotta love a place with unique characters walking around.
ReplyDeleteI used to just post this stuff on Fb and one day my friends said that I should write a book. lol A book is a bit too much for me so I decided to put it in weekly blog posts.
DeleteThat tent sure was in the way. It would be funny if karma bit that shop dude on the vitals, yikes!
ReplyDeleteYeah it really would be. He's just not smart at all.
DeleteNever a dull moment for you and Falcor.
ReplyDeleteNot around here.
DeleteWow! I can't believe that lady brings a drill---that's some dedication to your affair!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
I know! When I saw that it just floored me.
Delete"go camping for the night" lol.
ReplyDeleteThe lady on the stretcher though... yikes!
Oh my gosh that whole mess... ya I don't think that's gonna end well for him :)
It was a week with a lot of drama. I'm not sure what happened with the woman on the stretcher.
DeleteI have no patience for cheaters... I hope that karma royally bites married guy on the ass!
ReplyDeleteOh he's too stupid not to get caught at this point.
DeleteA drill? These two are so prepared
ReplyDeleteRight? It's crazy.
DeleteSo much goes on around you. Very busy neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure.
DeleteThe drama around your apartment. I don't know how you do it.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Books of My Heart
I know. Most of it doesn't really have anything to do with me so I can just watch it unfurl around me like a show.
DeleteIt looks like a really romantic place for an affair. Geez!
ReplyDeleteLOL I know! I hope the maintenance people do something. I'm afraid that they are going to have candles going in there at night and start a fire.
DeleteCordless Drill Woman. That's too funny. 😅
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it won't be the last time I post about her.
