Apartment Life #235

 
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 22 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 22 years here in a weekly blog post.

On Monday my daughter spotted the police outside. My neighbor who lives right next door said she saw the police go over to the old maintenance shop and pull this woman out who had broken into the locked shop. They had her out by their car for a while but they didn't arrest her. I hope they at the very least they gave her a ticket and summons to appear in court. 

It's not even the first time she and her boyfriend have been caught breaking into that shop. Last year I blogged about what they had done to the old maintenance shop in this post you might want to check out so you can see what they had done to the shop the last time they were in there. All the holes and damage they caused are all fixed now and on Tuesday morning the maintenance man who works here was here screwing the door shut, yet again. I'm sure it won't take long for her or someone else to break that door open and make their way in again though. It's an ongoing problem. I think the owner should put a metal door on there and reinforce the door jam so they can put better locks on it. But hey, I just live here. Move along, now. I know nothing. I just can't believe she wasn't arrested! She was caught red handed inside the shop. I don't know, maybe they couldn't prove she is the one who broke in and opened the door but I don't think it should have mattered. I'm a little irritated. 
-----

On Friday I'm out walking Falcor and I see this lady across the street trying to parallel park her white truck. She's back and forth, back and forth, trying to get this truck parked and she can't do it. 
She sees me watching her and she rolls down the window and I think she's gonna yell at me or something. No, she asks me if I know how to parallel park. lol I tell her yes and she asks me if I will park her truck for her because she cannot do it. At first I'm like, uhm, hell. Then I say yeah if you'll hold on to my dog. So I get in her truck while she's holding on to Falcor's leash and parallel park her truck for her. It was a big enough spot so it's not like it was hard to do. She says thanks, hands me back the leash and goes into the apartment building only to come back out not 3 minutes later. She yelled across to me that "The mother*ucker* wasn't even home! She got in her truck and sped off. LOL

Well, that was a first. 

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

  1. Smiling at your second story - and would be more than a little irritated at the first. Surely it is time that the problem was solved. Permanently.

    1. I think if a manager had been on property to press charges maybe they would have taken her to jail.

  2. Wow that's terrible someone keeps breaking into that place. But oh no, lol about the parallel parking. I successfully parallel parked on my own once, perfect on my first try, and I've never parallel parked since, so I have a perfect streak lol.

  4. I can see why you would be irritated, for goodness' sake. Maybe jails are so full they couldn't find a vacant spot for her LOL. But seriously, she's even got a story with that shop, so...WHY?

    The other woman's story was so funny. There's never a dull moment around there, is there?

  8. That's crazy, especially after seeing the damage done the last time. She should have been hauled off to jail! The lady who couldn't park is just funny :D

  9. That was a lot of trouble to park for just three minutes.
    I'm stunned they didn't arrest the woman since it was her second offense.

  12. Well, I've never been asked to parallel park someone's car. Probably not worth asking me as my parallel parking isn't too brilliant either.

  13. Wow, you'd think they'd learn the lesson the first time. Crazy!!! things in my building have been peaceful, we have an overnight cop who stays here on the weekends. He doesn't have a very intimidating look lol, but seems appropriate which matters in my book.

  18. Well, that last part made me laugh! I’m impressed you could park it so easily, considering that you don’t currently drive? I guess it’s like riding a bike! Lol!

    I also am wondering about that woman and her socks with those kind of flip flops!?

    Interesting week for you!

  21. We giggled at that 2nd story too but at least she had a parking spot. I think the maintenance man needs to lock her in the shop and let her break out.

    1. She would break out...through the wall int the next door apartment like she did last time. LOL

      Delete
  22. I agree with you, a metal door would deter her from breaking in. The second story had me laughing because there are lots of people over here that can't parallel park either. :)

    1. It's mind boggling to me that people drive and can't parallel park.

  23. That 2nd story....had me burst out laughing LOL People these days are silly. Your life isn't boring at least.

  24. I don't blame you for being irritated! And this cracked me up "But hey, I just live here. Move along, now." Right? Seriously though, catching her in there like that- it does make you wonder why they arrest sometimes and why sometimes people get off.

    And oh my gosh that second one is FUNNY.

  26. I'm wondering why they didn't arrest the woman either. Especially since she'd been picked up before.

    That was very nice of you to help the woman parallel park. I wouldn't have expected that either. LOL

    I hope you have a great week, Mary.

  32. I wonder why they didn't arrest that woman. I'd be frustrated, too. I guess you can just go around doing whatever the hell you want there and no one cares?
