I had to bug out of my apartment for most of the day because I had my carpets cleaned. One thing about living in a condo is remembering all the assorted and utterly asinine bylaws that were drawn up by a bunch of retirees and anal retentives. Like the Rule about no “renovating” after 1 p.m. on Saturdays. My asshole neighbor made certain to remind me of this Rule when the nice young people cleaning my carpet were still not done by 1:05. So now I have an official Complaint filed against me. I’m not sure what this means, but I suspect I have to go before a Council of Elders and impale myself on a ritual dagger or something like that. I think my asshole neighbor has mutant super-sensitive hearing because he’s also complained about my ventilator and other equipment sounds. My asshole neighbor probably agrees with Michael Savage’s remark about this country being taken over by the “cripples.”
Did I mention my neighbor is an asshole?
But the good thing about today is that I was out on the streets, taking in the scene. I saw 28 Days Later, which was a lot of fun. Even the soundtrack caught my attention. Danny Boyle and I seem to like the same music. I had never heard of Underworld until I saw Trainspotting. And my goodness, there were all kinds of beautiful people walking around downtown tonight. I felt like Quasimodo in comparison. Lovely women with brilliant smiles in summer dresses or denim shorts with legs that go on and on like a song that you just can’t get out of your head. An absolutely stunning Hispanic woman with ringlets of auburn hair standing outside Orchestra Hall with her boyfriend, looking bored. The two women walking ahead of me, all dressed up in clubbing apparel. One had on a Hello Kitty backpack, which up until now I thought was just a club kiddie stereotype. Guess not.
I can totally relate to your asshole neighbor. I have one too and I also live in a condo. Did you buy your condo? We did. I think some people who buy condos think they should be as quiet as a stand alone house. My asshole neighbor and I have been having fun calling the cops on each other over the last year and a half. Our president doesn’t want to get involved. He knew it would be trouble from day one. The former tenant of my unit had similar problems with asshole. Our CC&Rs simply say no amplified anything, ever. So that’s what we’ve been going around about. He works opposite hours and apparently thinks I should too. Anyway, just wanted you to know there’s someone else out there who has an asshole neighbor in condo. Good luck to both of us. š
You have my sympathy, I no longer look at, or communicate with my asshole neighbors–I’ve given up on the lifelong pissing contest (that they crave) with the psycho’s. I ignore them to keep the peace, someone has to be the adult and I’m not gonna let them turn me into one of ’em.

At the age of eleven, I began Euclid, with my brother as my tutor. This was one of the great events of my life, as dazzling as first love. I had not imagined there was anything so delicious in the wor
I too have an asshole neighbor who goes to work then comes home and sits in her apartment all day everyday! This girl is probably 30 years old fat ugly and bitter, no friends no dates no hobbies. She bangs on the walls between the apartments all day long for absolutely no reason other than to irritate me. She is so bitter and juvenile it is ridiculous. I dread her coming home everyday. I have lived here for 1 1/2 years and I just don’t understand a person who is just sitting around waiting to die making other miserable… what is the point
I have the same prob. with my neighbor. She says she goes to school and works at night and 24/7 she taps on the wall every 5 minutes. When I am trying to sleep, I will be drifting off to sleep when she taps and it wakes me up and makes me sleepy the next day. I have just bought some foam earplugs and they seem to work…..
There are rubber earplugs that are even better than the foam earplugs. You can get them at K-Mart, I believe. Ask anyone from the military to show you their rubber rifle range earplugs (not the foam ones). You’ll know what to look for. They’re cheap, and easy to clean. Just don’t jam them too far in your ear, or you’ll have an earache.
