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 23 years here in a weekly blog post.

On Tuesday I was sitting at my desk in front of the living room window and watched a woman stomp her way across the two chairs and table we have sitting on front of that window. Two days before that though she was out asking my daughter and her friends if they had extra blankets, shoes, socks ect. My daughter's friend gave her a blanket because I'm pretty sure she's homeless and thought that would be the end of it but the next day this woman walked right into his apartment without knocking and asked for more stuff and even asked if she could stay there. Obviously the answer was no. But the next day she was back asking again for blankets, socks, sweats, and shoes. But the day she stomped on my chairs and table I saw her throw away a pair of shoes someone had given her. She's asked my daughter more than once if she could stay in our apartment to which my daughter's reply is always no. I think she might have been mad at her saying no to her more than once and that's why she stomped over the table and chairs. I think she might be mentally ill to act the way she is.

On Wednesday I'm sitting at my dresser at 7am doing my makeup and see this guy walk over to the corner of the building across the street and urinate. The next morning at 4am he and his girlfriend woke me up when they were outside having a very loud argument. This is the same guy in the video below.
On Thursday I was sitting at my dresser in my room putting on my makeup and these two people started arguing. The door they keep going in and out of is the laundry room for that apartment complex and they have been staying in there at night. They are homeless and I've seen them smoking "meth or something" out of a pipe several times. They've been around here for years and they always argue like this. She is usually the one hitting him and then screams that he hit her first. You don't have to watch the whole thing, all they do is scream at each other but it gives you a good idea of what goes on pretty much every week with these two around here. The sun was right in my face which is why the video isn't too clean but if you turn the sound up you can hear them pretty well.

On Wednesday morning my daughter walked outside and several of the people around here told her that the Liquor Store that is in the Strip Mall right next door to where I live as seen in this post, was raided the night before and the owner was taken out in handcuffs and arrested for selling marijuana, cocaine, and meth out of his store. Everyone around here knows it's been going on there for years and everyone around here thought that he was paying the police off to leave him alone because he wasn't careful about who knew that he was selling drugs out of his store at all. Guess he wasn't paying them off after all.
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
Holy cow.
ReplyDeleteI guess we can say your life isn't boring...
Nope, never boring.
DeleteI've been reading these posts for months now, and still can't wrap my head around all the stuff that's happening there. It's a dangerous place, and no one seems to be able (or willing) to do anything. I hope you and your daughter can stay safe as long as it takes.
ReplyDelete"everyone around here thought that he was paying the police off to leave him alone"
😲
That's why I started writing these posts and taking pictures. It's hard to believe all this stuff happens if you aren't here.
DeleteI agree with Roberta. Please continue to look after yourselves - and say no each and every time that woman asks if she can move in.
ReplyDeleteOh she is never coming in my apartment. lol
DeleteSounds scary to me!
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy.
DeleteOh my goodness, what a mess! 🙄
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's always a mess around here.
DeleteWell at least that guy was finally arrested for his drug dealing. A small victory maybe but it's something. Please please watch yourself around that woman in case she has a weapon. I'd suggest even having something for protection on you or at your front door.
ReplyDeleteI have an ax by my front door just in case someone tries to get in.
DeleteWhy can't the police do something about the couple that yells outside of your apartment?
ReplyDeleteI've called the police before but it usually takes the police 45 minutes to get here for yelling and by that time they are gone.
DeleteWay too much crazy for me!
ReplyDeleteFor me as well.
DeleteI'm rather surprised that a big, rich country like America doesn't take care of its homeless or addicted people, and law- abiding citizens have to suffer or move to other places.
ReplyDeleteLike someone said below. You can't help those that don't want help.
DeleteYes, that woman probably has a mental illness. In reply to the above poster, you can’t help people who don’t want help and homeless shelters won’t take people with drugs because it would be unsafe to the other people in the shelters.
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly.
DeleteIt's really sad what you put up with on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteI know.
Deletenever a dull moment in your life. it's like watching a bad movie
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
A really bad movie.
Deletewow, a lot of stuff happening... Sounds like your liquor store was a happening place.
ReplyDeleteYeah it really was.
DeleteWhat a crazy week!
ReplyDeleteYeah it was.
Deleteinteresting, this week I think the both of us have had memorable experiences with the homeless. One woman offered me a line of crack which was surprising.
ReplyDeleteWow, yeah that is nuts.
DeleteOh that place brings all the crazies
ReplyDeleteSure does.
DeleteThat was a busy week and not fun for you and the other people who live there. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI will.
DeleteGosh it really always is something over there.
ReplyDeleteit is.
DeleteIt a lot different in my neck of woods. But we do have our promblems.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Everywhere has their own problems.
DeleteGoodness, I hope that woman finds somewhere to move on to so she stops bugging y'all.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteStay safe, Mary!
ReplyDeleteI will try to.
DeleteWow, this was quite an eventful week! So much craziness!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Yeah, a lot more than usual for the week.
DeleteThat woman sounds dangerous, I feel bad for her if she's mentally ill but I hope you guys don't have more problems with her. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteYikes that video!!!
I hope so too. Yeah, those two in the video go at it all the time.
DeleteMaybe the store owner wasn't paying enough so they shut him down? Sounds like something is fishy if he was able to sell this stuff for so many years without getting in trouble before.:(
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking too.
Deletewow you had many things!
ReplyDeleteYeah it was a crazy week.
DeleteThat's the danger when you're kind enough to give someone a blanket or whatever. Sooner or later they come back making more and more demands. It's just shocking how many people are so desperate and so needy.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people are like that. I think if these people weren't on drugs they wouldn't be acting like this.
DeleteWhat's sad is the owner of that store will probably be back selling drugs there again in no time.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't doubt it.
DeleteIt sounds like you live in a dangerous place. I know rent is not cheap and understand why you continue to stay where you are. I hope the trouble makers move so you don't have to deal with this.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteMebbe the Store Owner just missed a payment? *winks* Las Vegas is interesting, been visiting since the early 70's, as a Tourist or to visit Military Friends stationed there... wouldn't wanna live there tho', about 3 days is my limit.
ReplyDeleteI've lived here for over 30 years now.
