Oh ok - I have one for you - (true)

1. I would like to call (to the police) and complain that my upstairs neighbors are making a lot of noise... So, police come out - guy jumps off balcony - I see flashlight out window - Here cop saying - hands in the air - and something about - is that marijuana......*sigh*

2. (one week later) another call to the cops at 300 am....this time because neighbors are being loud and it sounds like said guy who got "detained" for possession of an illegal substance is up there yelling at his g/f and the other girl is yelling too - who knows what is going on - drinking no doubt - cops go to door - bang on door for one whole hour 3am to 4am

Note - at 4am when cops are called for a domestic disturbance call - they will know that you are in there - no matter how quiet you try to be

2nd Note - When the cops bust down the door and you say "I slept through it" THAT excuse WONT cut it with the cops

:chuckle :roll :chuckle

Ooooo yeah. I have a couple personal ones of my own.

1. You turn on the TV, tune into the local news, and learn the young tenant (a student) in one building up from your own, was arrested for making a bomb. and the second one is even better, because it got my apartment on the TV.

2. On one summer morning, you wake up to the sound of a bullhorn, and see lights flashing outside your window. So you peer out to see what's going on. And low and behold, you hear gun shots, and then you see your neighbor from the upper end of the complex, dressed in short shorts and a tank top in 50 degree weather walking toward the police unit parked in your parking lot. Of course that peaks your curosity, so you sit on your patio outside to get a better view.

You see said woman enter the police unit, and re-emerge about 20 minutes later, being escorted by a policeman, and walking toward your apartment. They arrive, and ask if the woman can come inside to get warm. Being the ever friendly neighbor, you allow her to enter to warm up.

When you again turn on the TV to watch the evening news, Right before your eyes is a picture of said police unit sitting in your parking lot with your apartment in full view in the background. Then you hear, a message about a domestic dispute, and hear the newscaster say, Town of Ferguson police responded to a call at --- AM to a domestic abuse at your complex, and while the police were attempting to negotiate with him, he shot at the officers three times. :eek:

Then you hear nobody was injured in the melee, and the police did eventually convince the shooter to give up, and he is now in the county prison on $...,......unsecured bail. His court hearing is schuled to be (date)

Outcome: said tenant's psychotic live-in boyfriend gets sentenced to prison for possession of a deadly weapon (the police learned he had been collecting guns, and had them in her apartment) assault with the attempt to kill a police officer, and possessing a cache of guns in tenant's apartment.

Tenant gets evicted.

Rest or tenants in complex velly velly happy:D Yes!

The former tenant of my apt. called the landlord because of a sink drain pipe leaking. The tenant didn't bother cleaning up the crack lab he had going on in the living room before the landlord came over, or AFTER the landlord came over.

It's people like that that make me wish that 'stupid' really was a medical diagnosis.

Or better yet, those who go a bit overboard in taking advantage of their freedom of expression, etc.

The current tenant above me has had HEAVY marijuana emissions enter my apartment. That's one smell I have always been able to recognize because well, it used to just leave a sweet taste in my mouth, but now it just plain old leaves me having to cover my nose in able to breathe. :rolleyes: Oh the joys of freedom, may they ALWAYS be used in the way that are in consideration of others. The good old fashioned way.

Speaking of renters nightmares (or is that nightmare renters:D ), we've had a few doosies living next to us.

This one woman was a real looney tune. You would have to live next to her to get how looney she was. She would call every single day just to complain about the same old crap going on in her life. Hardly kept a job, was on welfare, used her child support money to support her horses instead of her kid, smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish, and always complained she didn't have any food in the house.

One day, the whole family (me, hubby and the kids) were all sick with the flu and this woman keeps trying to call. Well, she's the kind of person that you practically have to hang up on to get off the phone with her, so hubby and I decided to just let the phone ring. And it rang, and rang, and rang, no sooner did it stop that it started ringing again. Finally got up and turned the dang ringer off. Nex thing we know, she's ringing the doorbell, ignored that too until she just kept ringing it non-stop. Hubby finally jumped up and answered the door and what does this woman say? "would you people keep the noise down over here I'm trying to sleep nextdoor." If there was ever a grounds for murder that should be it.

Then she calls the landlords up and not only tells them we're making noise but also tells them that I'm sneaking out at night after hubby goes to sleep and riding her horses. Yeah right, it's too dark to see and there are sprinkler heads sticking up all over the pasture. Getting impaled on a sprinkler head is not something on my list of things to do before I leave this world. A day later, she shows up at my door accusing me of trying to kill one of her horses by feeding it bailing twine. Even went so far to call the sheriff and humane society on me. Forutnately, my landlady not only stood up for me, but the authorities figured her out to be the nutcase she is, so nothing came of it.

Go on to a year later, going to college to get my pre-req's for the nursing program done, plus taking classes to get my CNA. Woke up one morning to a sheriff's car driving around shining his light at the place. Didn't think anything of it. Hubby goes to work at 6 and I have to be to class at 8. Was just about to walk out the door when guess who should call (haven't had a call from her since the horse incident so wasn't expecting it to be you know who). Now she says my hubby was trying to break into her bedroom window at 4:30 that morning. Told her "yeah right, then who was in bed with me." She insists the guy looked exactly like my husband. Ended up being late to class (strict attendance policy) because of this whole mess. Fortunately the instructor took pity on me when I told her what happened. I tell you, this woman made me so I could have screamed.

Well, she got evicted for this last stunt. Sad thing is, the very day she was served with the eviction notice, one of the landlord's cats was poisoned with an illicit street drug. No proof, but we have a good idea who did it. Always thought she was on something.
