my last place was a 1br efficiency with lovely bubbly vinyl flooring with mock wood grain, drop ceilings, layers of paint preventing doors and cabinets from closing, and black mildew painted over.

*neighbors leave laundry in the one single dryer in the basement for like 2 hours after it's done. They aren't even home*

I have like a 4 hour window of time between when I get home from work and when I need to go the gently caress to sleep. I just need to do one load of laundry :qq:
I have stopped feeling like an rear end in a top hat when I dump all their clothes onto the table down there and load my clothes into the dryer. Every week I am reminded why we, as a civilization, can't have nice things.

So we installed your A/C in backwards so it leaks water into your apartment, we also encased it in concrete for some reason.

But if you wanna dig it out with a chisel and turn it around, it's no problem. I'd recommend putting a bucket under it.

The mist that chills you keeps me warm.

The place I worked at owned one of the roads by the apartment complex. This road also happened to give access to the somehow shittier complex next to us. The road hadn't been serviced in years and had a massive amount of potholes. There were a few that were several feet in diameter and close to a foot deep, the worst of which was immediately behind a speed bump. That last one was particularly difficult to avoid at night and ended up with several people having to call for a tow truck.

The company that owned the complex refused to spend any money fixing the road up because the complex next to us did not want to help out with the cost. If anyone came into the office to complain about the road, we were instructed to tell them we didn't know who owned the road, and that they should call the city about getting it fixed. My manager threw me under the bus and refused to talk to a very irate man who had already called the city and confirmed that we were the road's owners. Eventually, enough people complained to the city and they stepped in, telling our corporate office that they had a month to get the road repaved, or they would start getting fined daily.

Not much fun
When I first left home and moved to a strange city I shared a bathroom with five people which had a coin operated shower. At least it encouraged water conservation I suppose.

Other luxurious amenities included:

- conveniently located halal butchers downstairs
- delicious aromas from neighbours cooking indian food all day, every day
- free entertainment when the police broke up a dog fighting ring down the street
- free wake up calls in the form of the neighbour puppy who was left alone about 18 hours a day
- decorative black mold
- all night parties courtesy of some white drug dealer/techno DJ who looked about 12

Oh, those 2-3 car alarms going off per day? Nah, they're normal, don't worry about it, it's just the rear end in a top hat geese being assholes.

I got no explanation for the guy slowly driving an SUV up the street toward a dead end with the car alarm blaring the whole way though.

Upstairs neighbor wakes up the entire building screaming bloody murder at 3 am.
We all run out and she screams that there is somebody in her apartment. A dozen of us comfort her, until she says that she "needs to be alone for a few minutes" so she walks into the dark parking lot alone, as we watch her door until the police arrive. The police go in, come out 5 minutes later, saying that nobody is in there, but the screen door to her balcony is busted.

At this point we're all basically convinced she's crazy, and trying to get out of her lease by faking a break in. She's on the fifth floor, and there were people watching her door from the moment she came running out.

In the morning, I'm walking by the outside of the building and there's freaking shoe prints on the side of the building from her balcony.
