Please tell me what to do

Published

Hello everyone,

A few month ago, we moved to this apt building, and there is a unit a few feet away from us. We have seen a myriad of men going in there; for the last 3 months alone more than 90 men. Late at night a man comes in for a two hours and leaves, and never comes back again. Next day a different man, and different car, and so on and so forth. During the weekend two men a day. Men look pretty young in their 20s.

Now why I am asking this question on here? There is a girl who lives in there in her mid forties, she wears scrubs and we were told by the management that she is a nurse. She doesn't talk to anyone in the building, and leaves and comes back at odd hours.

We honestly have tried to turn a blind eye and deaf ear on the whole issue for months, but it's really something happening daily, and can't be ignored.

We are a couple in our sixties, and don't want to cause any problems to anyone.

I've talked to the management, but they didn't care and told me she pays the rent on time.

I'd like to know what you guys think, and what should I do?

I really don’t think this is any of your business. What someone else does in the privacy of their own home should be of no concern to you.

Scrubs are worn by anyone who wants to wear them, and calling oneself "nurse" is also common by caretakers, office assistants and other clerical/HCWs who are neither licensed Registered nor Practical nurses. If she is a nurse, what of it, anyway?

If you don't feel safe, move.

Otherwise it doesn't seem like there's anything with which to concern yourself.

I started to reply and then it hit me - are you a nurse? Or did you just come to this forum to ask about this since you assume this lady is a nurse? It is unfortunately not a typical forum to ask how to deal with an issue in your apartment building. If you are asking if this is normal behavior for a nurse, I guess I couldn’t really tell you because I’m not sure why she has visitors. I wouldn’t be concerned as long as they aren’t making tons of noise or obviously acting in a dangerous way.

Damned if I know. Ask her about it. Or hire a private eye. Or move. Or find something else to focus your anxieties on, like that shifty-eyed squirrel that always seems to be staring at you when you walk under his tree.

On the chance you are for real...

Sure it can be ignored... quit spying on your neighbors. You have really watched her closely enough to have counted 90 people? How creepy.

I think you should mind your own business and leave your neighbor alone.

Just noticed this was posted under "patient safety issues". I guess because we don't have a topic for nosey neighbors.
