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 26 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 26 years here in a weekly blog post.
On Monday morning while I was outside, the Fire Truck pulled up and the firemen went inside a courtyard.
Less than a minute later they came back out and left. Why call for the fire dept. if you don't actually need them? I don't get it.

I've noticed recently that a few homeless people will go up to people getting in and out of their cars around here and ask for money, food, clothing, or if the person getting out of their vehicle wants to buy whatever they are selling. A guy on a bicycle came up to me and asked if I wanted to buy a shock collar for my dog this week. I declined. Most of the time they are selling stolen goods from stores around here.
I watched on my camera as this lady was getting out of her work truck these two homeless people quickly walked up to her and I'm guessing asked for something. Because she reached in the back of her truck pulled out water bottles, a blanket and sandwiches.
Then she took out a box of donuts from inside the truck and gave them some of those too. I thought that was really nice of her to do that.
The high this week was 107F/41C
The low this week was 74F/23C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
It's never nice being homeless, but when temperatures are extreme, it's worse.
ReplyDeleteThat was nice of her - and she came prepared too.
ReplyDeleteThat was super nice. She gave them something they could use rather than just money.
ReplyDeleteThat was very thoughtful. Obviously that person planned in advance to have this extra food available.
ReplyDeleteYour continuing themes are unique and interesting.
ReplyDeleteNice lady.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a wild week! That lady with the donuts was so kind. And that fire truck visit? Totally weird!
ReplyDeleteThat was a very nice thing that lady did. We need more nice people in the world.
ReplyDeleteThat was generous of her, as Alex said giving them something they could use rather than cash.
ReplyDeleteI once offered a homeless person soliciting at a highway offramp a bottle of water and a bag of chips. They declined...then went over to the next person and asked for money.
ReplyDeleteGiving them something useful rather than Cash is recommended since far too many are using the Money for Substance Abuse Issues that often caused most of their plight. We're often offered Water by kind strangers while we're doing Environmental Cleanup and some try to force Money on us saying what we're doing as Volunteers has Value and they feel we are deserving of some Offerings/Donations. *LOL*
