What insipid nonsense. I watch the vids, and I wonder how low other people's thresholds must be (or how jaded I am). It's like they went from their upper middle-class bedrooms to college singles, to rent-controlled apartments, to... Oh, fuck it.

Try this.

Or this.

And yes, sir, you may have another.

All I can say is that the Indian people that live above me ... I want to kill them.
I have a one bedroom apartment, it is a good size, especially for Southern California. The apartment above me is also a one bedroom. I live with my boyfriend, two cats, and another pet but it lives in a cage on the patio. Just us alone can feel alittle crowded sometimes, but not too bad. Now the people who live above me have: two or three kids, two females, and possible three males, all living in the same sq footage. I could be off a little in the numbers here but either way my god damn place smells like curry in the afternoon, the kids run marathons through out the place making sure to stomp as loud as possible, and bath time? I'm starting to wonder if one of those males isn't trying to drown those kids each time its time for the daily bath. Not to mention the ceiling pop corn shit that falls from them doing god knows what.

They also backed up our sink with the worst shit because apparently they don't know how to use a garbage disposal.

And the list goes on but obviously, no one gives a shit either way

I can send you some kleenex also

I had a similar experience to Kim's. Where I live now isn't too dumpy, but it's palatial in comparison to most of my NYC apartments. Here, though, people are obviously unaccustomed to multi-unit, multi-story dwellings...or they just cling to the mentality that no one else lives within earshot. They run, drop, stomp, and even cook much as she mentioned. Problem is, they drive the same way (no signals, variable speeds in a given area, sudden stops on highways, etc.), and that's just fuckin' dangerous.

I weigh over two hundred pounds and I still don't sound like the 90-lb Korean chick on the 3rd floor who is single-handedly trying to bring back clogs. I have to keep myself from running out the door and booting her ass down the last flight of stairs.

They will just gather outside right in front of my living room patio and just I guess hang out and talk while their crazy unruly kids go nuts screaming at the top of their lungs up and down the walk ways.

Well, there's something to be said for sitting outside your home and socializing. It wasn't too long ago that such a "cultural phenomenon" bore the firm stamp of Middle Americana. We just don't know our neighbors like we used to. As for screaming-meemees, I live across the fence from the playing fields of a Catholic elementary school. For this area, that means a disproportionate number of Latino kids. I swear, never in my life have I heard such balls-out noise from children, for no reason whatsoever. It's like they're all being sodomized with curling irons. When I was that age, and even while I was living in various nabes of NYC, you wouldn't get that kind of terrorized screeching unless someone was on fire.

You do realize we're turning into Fnord, right? (ack!)

My dislike of certain minorities grew from being exposed to them.  You’re just experiencing the same process.  At some point reality will overcome your PC conditioning.

Exactly. I never had an issue with Indian people until my apartment started to smell of curry. I walk up to my place and smell this smell and I just picture this giant pot of boiling onions, tomatoes, curry, and chutney of some kind.

Plus, it REALLY pisses me off when I am paying a pretty good amount for rent and these assholes, and this isn't limited to a certain race or anything, are living 5-6 people in a one bedroom and sharing the cost of that shit! This is of course an issue that the God damn leasing office should be taking care of but apparently they cant do anything about it until they "see it"

Well, that, and that it obviously pushes you out of the running.

Are you sure you don't live across the pool from me?

Seriously tho, if you're looking to screw an extended family out of housing, file a noise complaint. There doesn't actually have to be any noise at the time, but it forces a leasing agent (or some shlub from their 'courtesy patrol') to document who was present in the home. Then you can compel them to act on the report.

It's ironic that they need to 'see' shit all the time, especially when they know how to find everybody within 48 hours if your rent's late. I just can't figure how they justify raising the rates and then leasing to shadier and more disruptive people. Ethnicity here is not so much of an issue, as there is plenty of white trash to balance out any other group.

And no, Fnord, I won't be "overcoming" anything, if I haven't already. I'm really not that PC, but I am principled. At least, I was not raised to act on or think with cultural generalizations, mostly because I've never found any to be universally accurate. There is also the matter of discrimination against others where I'm a strange enough fellow, myself. If your glass house is stone-free, then I'm happy for you.

Did you also want distance and windage?

This is the eastern side of their grounds. There's a jungle gym around lower left and another soccer pitch, out of frame and closer (it's blocked by the carport). The later in the day (or in the early morning, natch), the more populous it becomes. The schedule is based on the cooler times of day. I don't suppose you wanted close-ups or a headcount. I'm not going to be the "creepy guy over the fence" taking cellcam shots of other people's crotchfruit.

Paleo, that would make a nice banner.

Go for it. I'd ordinarily discourage the reposting of children's playgrounds in any way that seemed to promote their violent exploitation, but there are two 15' fences to get through and a staff-to-child ratio that strangely belies the decibel levels. They must give the nuns earplugs.

I already enable enough of your perversity, dontcha think? Tellya wut, I'll tell Kim where I live in exchange for her flashing you some nipple.

Two 'r's in occurrence, Taffy. Fucking hell, your name is Taffy. I'm not talking to you anymore. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you were related to that bitchcunt slags_mom or whatever the hell her name was.
