Want to piss me off real quick? Here's how.

So yesterday was an awesome day, as my pictures can attest. Then I came home to find a note on my door making residents of my building aware of "several complaints" of noise that have been made, which said that we should refrain from doing things that I think are really reasonable, like washing clothes and mounting the stairs (it said "loudly") after 10 p.m. I don't expect other people to understand that my schedule is very very different from most people's, but if people have a problem sleeping or whatever while someone does a load of laundry in another apartment or walks up the stairs in boots, then they need to be reminded that that's just part of living in an apartment building. I have a right to do my laundry, I think, or walk up to my apartment without first donning slippers, anytime I please. But the notice reminded us to "be aware of others' schedules" and whatnot. Okay. I'll try to keep it down and be aware of those schedules.

Again, here, I don't expect people to know that my 9:30 a.m. is like 5:30 a.m. for most people, I really don't. I have a weird schedule. But I do expect to be notified if a strange man will be entering my apartment and might encounter me, asleep, in my bed, in a state of undress at ANY TIME. I was fast asleep when, apparently, a man handling pest control came into the apartment and woke me, scaring the fucking shit out of me, and embarrassing me to boot. I am fairly certain that he got a real nice crotch shot of me as I was laying there spread eagle on the bed. Even if I had not been there, I need to know if someone will be entering my apartment. I have lived in apartments for five years and never had management who didn't let me know when anyone would be entering my apartment, for any reason. He could very easily do whatever the fuck he pleases while he is there, considering he has a key to every apartment, and for all I know, he's in there rubbing himself with my panties when I'm not home or installing a camera in my bathroom ventilation fan. I'm not trying to be crude, but as a woman, you worry about these things. At any rate, he now knows me a lot more intimately than many of my closest friends. 

So thanks a lot, apartment management staff. It's really easy for me to be considerate of those neighbors with the supersonic hearing when I'm getting awakened unexpectedly by strange men. You earn a very well-deserved FUCK YOU.

This story makes ME really pissed off, and it didn't even happen to me. I think someone needs to be slapped.

I think you should copy and past the last line of your latest entry, blow the font and size up nice and big, and tape it on the management's door..that might make you feel a little better.
