Can't believe there's been a mass shooting in my city, I'm so shocked... Stuff like this doesn't happen in NZ let alone down the road...

I'm feeling awesome since my echo cardiogram showed I don't need open heart surgery. Excellent Uncle Bob! That's great news! On a funny note, i gotta admit i laughed so much (in the middle of the office) cause i was reading the thread and some light comments about stress, and then, BANG, no open heart surgery, this is Bandaids, i had to log in. Cheers to no open heart surgery!!!

I feel like we should be discussing Avril Lavigne a bit more on this website. Love the new photos of her btw. There was a time when they would have been instantly shared on the site.

Shit. My boss has got me a job as Sunday Assistant in the Solihull branch. He's got me an interview at least. He wants to help me earn some money. He likes me and is trying to do me a favour. He's such a top bloke, he has so much time for everyone. I keep fucking up the online questionnaire when applying for jobs and so Louis just did it for me and has got me an interview. Solihull is quite posh, it would be nice to work there.

The interview wasn't brilliant. Had a bit of a cold all day and have been going a bit crazy at work. It's very hard to find the motivation to volunteer at the moment. I need paid work for my own sanity. Thanks

I am living in a building with many neighbors around. One just moved here about 2 weeks ago and I'm already done... Firstly she hanged small bells on her balcony, so whenever there was the wind, it was making quite good noise, luckily she took them off when few neighbors complained. So, that was not the only problem. She has a dog that barks like a crazy whenever she leaves home. It's really annoying especially that I mostly work at nights and in home, going to sleep in the morning and that's when this dog starts to be noisy. Recently I've been waiting her to return home, once she did, I went there to talk to her, sadly she didn't open the door. I left small letter kindly asking to do something with this dog giving her advices how to solve that problem. I have 2 dogs too and my experience and knowledge are huge, so I just tried to help, as I am not the only one who is tired of this. The other day my grandma met her in elevator and told her what I wanted to. This woman is full of ignorance and it doesn't seem like she actually wants to solve it. She said the dog was barking in previous home as well. Other neighbors already reported her few times to police and all she got were 2 tickets of 30~ dollars to pay. Policeman said we'd have to bring this case into court, what I really want to avoid. There are many bad sides. She could abandon the dog, building's administration could force her to get rid of the dog or court could force her to put him to sleep (not sure of this one) and all of these options would affect the poor dog. It's not his fault at all. He's being closed in bathroom. He barks either because he's afraid or bored. My grandma wanted to be nice and offered her to take care of the dog meanwhile neighbor is at work, he could stay in our home but she'd have to pay for food at least. She rejected and said she doesn't care if someone doesn't like the noise...

This is one thing I don't miss about apartment living. You can ask nicely, but if they don't care, nothing gets done. If you don't want to get them evicted, then you're kinda stuck unless you move forward with some kind of action. Hope it gets resolved and the dog is OK.

Don't you have a landlord you can report this to? Especially if multiple tenants are complaining.
I don't know what can be done about the dog, but maybe the woman should train her dog better to not bark or put it in a daycare while she's at work. Dogs shouldn't really be left alone in an apartment all day long. I'd say the landlord should intervene in this and say that if the woman can't follow the rules she shouldn't be allowed to live there.
I myself still live at home with my parents but my boyfriend lives in an apartment. It's a small building with only 3 units and the landlord doesn't live there, he just comes by maybe a couple times a month to collect rent or do maintenance. There is one tenant in the building that smokes pot and it makes the whole building stink! My boyfriend lives on the top floor and I think the smoker lives below him, but the smell travels through the whole building and even makes the inside of my boyfriend's apartment smell. When I come home, my clothes smell like pot and I have to throw them in the wash, it's that bad. But he says there is nothing he can do about it because as long as the tenant pays rent, the landlord can't tell him not to smoke pot in the building. I remember once I wore a sweatshirt to my boyfriend's place and then wore it again the next day to work without washing it. Our office cat was sitting behind me in my chair and then he went over to my coworker and she goes "Why does his head smell like smoke?" Literally the smell from my sweatshirt rubbed off on the cat, it's that strong and that bad.

We don't have a landlord. There's administrative company that takes care of shared areas (stairway, elevator, some green area outside), but they cannot kick her out, because apartment belongs to her, she's the owner, apartments here are not for rental. Before reporting to police, some of my neighbors called this company to ask for help, they told them to call the police. My grandma called them today to ask for help once again. The guy said he will visit her in Monday and warn her that if she doesn't do anything, it will end up in the court. I really hope it helps. She lives below me so you can imagine how annoying it is.
Smoking sux too, before this neighbor moved here, there was an old woman living there and smoking every 30min starting at 4 am, all the smoke was coming to my home through open windows that I couldn't close because in summer it's too damn hot.
living in apartment has a lot of bad sides, but I love it. My apartment is on 9th floor and I have an amazing view for the city.

The "call the police" option is exactly what our manager on site would tell us, so you aren't missing much there. However, if you complain about it enough they really have to at least talk to her or give her a warning about it. Sucks that it isn't a rental where they can kick them out if they are a constant issue for all the neighbors. Sounds like you traded a smoker for a noisy neighbor. I had a neighbor below me that was both at the same time.
