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 25 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 25 years here in a weekly blog post.
One day this week I saw several of these trucks parked on my street. They started leaving right before I took the picture. I think they might be maintenance trucks for the electrical lines. Not sure.
On Wednesday we were notified that maintenance would be coming by to check out AC's to make sure they're working before Summer. So while we were waiting for them I saw one of my neighbors being evicted by the manager and constable. They were given a few minutes to pack a bag and then they were locked out and the constable put an orange sticker across the door. In this state the manager has to store your belongings for 30 days so you can make an appointment to get your stuff, after 30 days they throw it out.
Maintenance cut these bushes that the drug addicts like to hide behind and do their drugs. But I noticed that while sitting back there they were making a hole into the wall. On the other side of that wall is a vacant apartment. Looked to me like the addicts were maybe trying to make the hole into the apartment. It wouldn't even be the first time they've done something like this. You might remember this post where they broke into the maintenance shop and broke into the wall and into the vacant apartment next door to it.
I was out with Falcor and the big pitbull that the drug addicts have taken in was running around offleash again. I don't even walk Falcor down that way anymore because of that dog being offleash and he's aggressive. I walked in the opposite direction of the dog, but he saw us and charged us. I pulled out my tazer and screamed for the woman (A different woman than is usually with the dog) to come get her dog or it was going to get tazed. She looked at me and then turned around ignoring me. I fired my tazer in the air and the dog backed away and then charged again growling and barking all the while Falcor is going crazy barking because he hates big dogs.
So I fired it in the air again and it ran away. I came inside and instead of going back out and yelling at them again I called animal control. They came out, walked behind the alley and I walked out there to see what would happen. The animal control officer talked to them, they put the leash on the dog and she walked back to her truck. Nothing happened. So that was a big waste of time. Good to know they about as worthless as the police who don't even show up 50% of the time when you call them.
I feel bad for the dog and was hoping it would get taken and maybe would have the chance at finding a real home. But either the animal shelter is too full or she just didn't feel the need to do anything about what happened.
