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 have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 25 years that I'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.
So the painters are finally gone. They left yesterday (Saturday). Monday night the guys who live in the apartment that the Port A Potty was right up against the window came out and tried to move the Port A Potty away from their window. That's why it's a little pulled out from the wall. But it proved to be too heavy for them and they left it like this. On Tuesday morning the painters moved it back against their bedroom window again. They were mad and are glad this is gone.
On Monday I saw the Fire Truck going around the corner and saw them pulling into the alley behind the apartment complex across the street.
I got a picture of one of the firemen coming off the truck.
Then an ambulance pulled up and someone was taken to the ER.

On Tuesday my neighbor who just moved in was taken by ambulance to the ER. I haven't seen her back home since.
Hopefully she's ok. She's an older woman and she's been here less than 2 weeks.

There was a younger guy walking around on Tuesday knocking on everyone's door trying to get them to sign up for a free phone if they qualified. If you were on SSI, had Medicaid or food stamps you qualified. I said no thank you and he left. About an hour later though Falcor started barking his head off because they guy had come back and was sitting in my chair I have right by my door.
He was talking on his phone so I asked him if he would move since he was making my dog bark. He looked at me and told me he would in a minute when he was done with his phone call. I got mad, opened my screen door and told him no, you will leave now. He told me no again that he was on the phone. That's when 2 of the painters came over that were painting some of the touch up spots and told him he needed to leave now. He got up and left. I told the painters thank you and that was that. I couldn't believe that the guy told me no he wasn't going to move from my chair. Like, WTH?
And then on Thursday it happened again with a different guy! Falcor started barking at the guy who was on his phone. He couldn't hear the person on his phone because I was letting Falcor bark his head off.
So the guy got up and out of my chair and talked on his phone away from my door. I don't get people seeing my chair and thinking it's ok to sit right by my door in my chair. So rude.

Monday night/early Tuesday morning 2AM there was a huge argument going on 4 doors down. The man and woman were breaking up, she had her bags and he was telling her to leave. She was screaming and continued to scream profanities all the way down the street. Both of them have been staying there with the guy who actually lives there. I'm surprised with all that noise they made that he didn't kick both of them out. But she was back the next morning and staying there again.

Friday night around 10:30 PM an alarm that sounded kinda like a smoke alarm started going off in the vacant apartment 3 doors down from mine. I could see through the window that there was no smoke or fire but we were worried that there might be a fire in the walls or something going on that we couldn't see. The neighbor was worried too. So we called 911 and the fire department came out. I got a bad picture of the fire truck but you can still make out what it is. lol
The firemen said they didn't think it was the smoke alarm and because they didn't see smoke or fire they couldn't break down the door. The maintenance guys came by the next morning to keep working on the apartment to get it ready for the next people and they fixed the alarm whatever it was.
