What Annoyed You Today?

My next door neighbor in the apartment complex I live in has been emptying his pop cans, bottle, and garbage out onto the parking lot every morning when he comes home from work for months, making it necessary for me to walk around the mess, and guide my 3 year old son around all the garbage so he doesn't trip and fall. It was especially bad this summer as the left over pop would spill out and make large sticky spots on the concrete. The neighbors also parks where ever they want to even though everyone has assigned parking spots. I have been picking up the trash, and depositing it at their front door for months now. Well today it really ticked me off and I called the manager on him. Hopefully he will talk to him about not dumping his trash where ever he pleases, and also having some courtesy for his neighbors. Just a complete lack of decency and respect for his neighbors that really gets me. Sorry for the long rant!

Appalling behaviour.

At least in America you can shoot morons...here in PC GB we have to 'understand' that their behaviour was caused by either/or being bullied at school or coming from a broken home or can't get a job or having their benefit allowances examined and cut etc etc...that'd before any race card is played.

Jeez

I do not ask for much, my family really tries to be mindful of the other tenants. We do not play our tv, stereos, etc. loud at all. I just do not know how to deal with people like this. Myself, I would think that the months of his own garbage ending up on his front walk would be a big clue to stop emptying his car out in the parking lot. I may have been giving this guy too much credit in thinking he would get the hint.

To be serious for a moment, I'm not sure how you deal effectively with neighbours like yours. If the Police / Civic authorities wouldn't take action what can you do?
Would a petition from your neighbours about this man to gain support for any appeal to the Police help?
We have the Citizens Advice Bureau here which can help with domestic disputes like yours.
Is there anything like the CAB in America?

We do not have any group like that that I am aware of John. I am afraid it is either up to the landlord to talk to them, or call the police, which I'd rather not do. Not sure if the police could really do anything since it is on private property. I do not know if the police could issue him a citation for littering on private property or not. Really am hoping the landlord talks to them and get the tenant to stop littering.

I hope so too. Its stressfull unpleasant living with neighbours like yours spoiling it for everyone.
Let us know how you get on with the landlord.

got my son to take my car in for service today should have been a morning job....ended up both he and the car were there all day because someone screwed up the process of getting it in and out in the morning session!
 
Got a flu which can't decide whether or not it ought to go all-out or just disappear, which means that there's plenty to do in my apartment, I just can't pull myself together to go *do* something about it.
Tired, irritated, want to sleep all day - damn, if I were six years old, I'd be cranky, whimpering and annoying.
What the hell, that's what I *am* right now. :lol:
 
After dealing with a chronic sinus infection that refuses to sibside, doctor is sending me to an Allergist to test for allergies and Asthma. Have a nasty case of Bronchitis, several bouts with sinus and ear infections, and a collapsed lung has contributed to the cause. Not looking forward to yet more prescriptions to ingest, inhale, etc... But I guess there isn't much one can do about it.
 
Spending the entire day in a room trying to study with the most immature classmates ever :banghead: I honestly do not know why I put up with it, one in particular seems to be intent on irritating me as much as possible, and this has gone on for a very long time now.

Couldn't get into the modelling mood today so just had an admin day in the hanger. It looks so much tidier now.
