I don't feel good today. I've been napping on and off all afternoon, and I feel like I have the flu. Will comes home, tries making bread, fails, needs to go to the store for some key ingredients. He opens the door into the apartment complex hallway and leaves. I was in the kitchen, trying to figure out what that God-awful smell is. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it was nasty. It brought a tear to my eye.

About ten seconds later, Will comes back into the apartment and says, "You have to come out here and smell this!" I really don't want to. When Will says that something needs to be smelled, nine times out of ten it is going to make me dry-heave. I walk out in the hallway, it stinks. He makes me walk down the hall to where my neighbor's door is, and I couldn't even breathe. I was on the verge of puking. Great.

I go downstairs to tell the apartment manager, who was sympathetic, but really doesn't want to deal with my neighbor. She's easily offended by what you say. She said she will tell her anyway. She thinks it's uncleaned cat litter box and full garbage bag smell. I don't think so. It's far nastier than that. There is no ammonia smell present in the hallway.

I'll put it like this: It smells like the most rotten, nasty, unholy, spoiled sandwich that you have ever smelled. I mean, not only would the bread be black and green, but the center of the sandwich probably has its own civilization going. Think of the sandwich (or leftovers, for that matter) that was left in a Tupperware container in the back of the fridge for a month or so (lost behind the gallon of milk or soda bottles?). Then when you open the container, not only is it fuzzy, but is accompanied by one of the worst smells ever.

Why do I keep having problems with stinky items and/or people? Ugh.

I ran down the hall while spraying Febreeze. I hope that does something, because the stink was creeping under our apartment door. Bleah!
 
It's not a "death" smell. I've found enough rotting animal carcasses to know what that smells like. Bleh...

I think I saw her car in the parking lot... It wasn't covered in snow, so she must have used it within the last 24 hours. She's only in her 40's, too (I know things happen, but unlikely). That's not a mean comment, either. Things like that happen, and I would be freaked out because she's not the kind of lady who you would want to be haunting the complex! She can be very nice, but then you say something that hits her wrong, and she goes off the deep end...
 
I don't have much help other than to say, EWWWWWW! Lol. God, I'm SO sorry you have a neighbor like that!!! I would want my deposit back so I could move ASAP.

I lucked out with having normal people for neighbors in my apt days. At my bf's last apartment complex before he moved in with me, he and his roomie had this totally crazy guy living in the unit across the lawn from their's. The guy was definitely cuckoo and they caught him outside his front door screaming obscenities and then singing to himself. EEPS!

Glad my bf didn't live there very long!

My sucky neighbors here don't live in my condo complex but in the wreaked apartment complex next door.. they're all latino so they BLAST the most god awful mexican heavy bass and tuba music you have ever heard, LOL. My bf yelled and them and they finally stopped, my hero!!

The people in the apartment complex behind us who are completely surrounded on all sides by other close-in complexes decided to get 2 hound dogs that bark NON STOP... What were they thinking?!?!? The owner doesn't seem to care.


 
this made me laugh cause it made me remeber a situation i was in a few years back. I was living in an apartment and was on the top floor it was actually a duplex. So she was down in her apartment and was smoking some funny stuff,lol, and it was coming right into my apartment via the plumbing under my kitchen sink. My apartment stunk ssssssssoooooooooooooo hoorrrriibbllllyy. So i wrote a note and never had a problem after that,lol, the note was nice and i stated that i didnt care she wasdoing it but didnt appreciate it smelling in my apartment,lol. Could she please maybe open a window ,lol.
 
When I lived in my apartment I had one complaint from the guys upstairs about a smell. I didn't clean the litter box for a few days. My fault. I took care of that right away. I let it go a day longer than I should have. I had only one rabbit at that time. Besides I could have complained about all the noise they made all night long.
 
Ha! We had an incident where the whole hallway smelled like a funny smelling cigarette. ;) We never found out who had it, but our roommate went out in the hallway and sniffed up and down. Still no luck. :p

Our neighbor only has one cat! Her apartment is bigger than ours, too, since it's the corner unit! Sometimes, I think the cat is dead because I always see it in the same position, sprawled out in the windowsill.

We seem to have awesome luck with neighbors. We lucked out, because the storage units are beneath us, so we don't have to worry about people being mad at us for stomping around. Our old upstairs neighbors sounded like the world's fattest people! They also always seemed to feel "intimate" when we were trying to go to sleep. They had the squeakiest bed frame ever! I almost bought them WD40 for Christmas this year, but they moved out. Now, we have the gamer boys upstairs. They are cool, but they stare at me through the cracks in the patio/porch when I fill my bird feeders. I can look up and stare up their noses!

Our other neighbor (in 31, stinky lady is 29, we are 30) had a lovely drunken party earlier this year. It was awesome. At three in the morning, they were screaming and peeing off the deck. Will and I shouted at them a couple times before I called the cops. I just put it in as a noise complaint. Then, Will and I sat on the couch with our patio doors open to listen to what happened. They came and did breath-tests in the hallway, all of them were smashed. They were all underage, too. I felt like a schmuck after that. I just wanted them to shut up!

Then, the people across the "woods" (there is about 20 feet of buckthorn plants) in the duplexes bother the heck out of me. They are all Hispanic and don't watch their kids. I've caught them throwing rocks/sticks at the apartment, jumping on the chipmunk nests, and hitting other kids in the face with sticks. I scream at them a lot. I'm only 21 and I feel like the crotchety old lady yelling at the neighborhood kids to "Get off mah dam lawn!"

I hit the awesome neighbor jackpot.
 
Oh man, yeah.. the hispanic people in the apt complex next door all have a bazillion kids, and of course don't watch them or teach them any obedience or discipline. I think some of them have since moved out thank goodness since its much quieter, but their kids were always little hellions. Their parents would let them run around the neighborhood wild screaming at 11pm at night. These are like 6-10 years olds out that late with no supervision! so irresponsible.
 
Ok, we moved into this house about 15 years ago. We knew then we had an old lady next door that was....... interesting. She used to be the "cat lady" but didn't have any while she lived next to us - she actually is in a nursing home now.

She smelled so bad...... that one day she came into my house and sat down - I was asleep and it woke me up 2 rooms away! I kid you not..... we had to trash the chair she sat in cause I couldn't get the stench out of it! That was the day we phoned her doctor. That is the day they told me that she had come in smelling of "rodent feces" and they found bits on her. That is the day they sent someone out to check on her and ended up taking her away. The doc's office actually saw her after hours so they could open windows is what they told me - other people complained so much about it they couldn't have her in with patients during normal hours. They thanked me for taking the time to phone them and being so honest with them about it. She was/is a sweetheart but she's really stinky!

My 2nd cousin bought her house. They came in wearing gas masks, and jumpsuits to clean it out. It took large construction dumpsters 2x to get it done. The place was full of papers and beenie weenie cans.

Our cat would go visit her and came home stinking of beans all the time.... it was so bad!

My cousin's wife cannot look at a can of beenie weenies to this day! LOL!

They gutted the house, left it open for a time and completely remodeled it. It's adorable now. Before, there was a car there from the 1970's parked next to our house and full of trash! There was lawn equipment that burst and the stale gas smell came into my house via the furnace and we had to have hazmat out to clean it up and air out our house..... She refused many times to have people come clean things up for her.

Tell the darned manager that it's a matter of concern for theirs and your safety! They need to inspect it.
 
Our apartment manager will be talking to her either tonight or tomorrow. I stuck my head out into the hallway, and it didn't smell as bad. So, either the Febreeze worked, or she took out her trash.

There was a lady who used to come to the bank where I worked. She must have owned a pig farm, because when she would come within twenty feet of you, you could smell hogs. It was terrible. When we would see her coming, we would dab our lotion under our nose and breathe through our mouths while helping her.
 
Ha! I'll take goats and sheep over hogs any day! Piggies are stinky!

Our hallway smells a bit better. I think she took out her garbage. Now, our hallway just smells like urine by her apartment. I never thought I would see the day where urine-smell was more pleasurable than anything.

Also, we don't live in a "ghetto" building. It's a very nice area with nice people. There's just a throwback every once in awhile. ;)
