Yes, the saga continues.
I write; in the hope, that someone, somewhere, will make these people, stop.
I would like to thank everyone who has helped me and given me, really good advice. It has; been, a long story.
I am so lucky; to have Kossacks, for friends.
This guy; next door, is doing exactly the same thing my other neighbor did. I know they’re acquainted. She’s only across the parking lot.
As they say; "you don't have to, make this stuff up.”
This is mostly, a rant. I may eventually, have to complain to a Manager or the building Owner. But for now; it’s just a rant.
Update
I wrote and posted this diary, Saturday night.
Hoping to establish some logical reasons; why my neighbor, doesn’t have to, be, doing, what he’s doing to me, with the chemicals and the noise.
In an attempt; to discern, some rational alternatives and solutions.
Re-posting because; apparently this neighbor, he didn’t get the message, yet.
5/15
6am For the past hour, an apparent odor of some petro-chemical air freshener product. My eyes started feeling irritated, chest and throat, filling with flem, breathing difficulty, smell it and my nose started running.
Went back to bed and was woken several times with loud noises. Finally at 10am with some loud screeching noise. Must have been his doorbell. So I got 5 and ½ hours sleep, last night. 11:30am smell fruity odor and feeling sick and chemically, overcome.
I was correct about the petro-chemical product being used again last night, early this morning.
Woke up and it was obvious. I could smell the chemical odor, all over my pillow case, again. Yes; the extent of these chemicals; permeating my apartment, is that much. It fills my living room and covers my hair and clothing.
So; I’m re-posting.
5/14
4am someone went in next door and they scared me awake by the sound of a Loud-cellphone ringtone. sort of a musical, bing, bing. bang, bing, kind of sound,
Instead of lending “guests” keys; these stupid people, both this tenant and the previous one, think it’s perfectly normal to have them ring the doorbell, or call on the phone, that they have in their bedroom, the volume turned up, so it’s as loud as a doorbell. To get in. At 2am, 4am, 6am.
(He kept me up again all night last night. (See below). Woke me 4am, I didn’t get back to sleep until 9am. So took a nap this afternoon. (Again repeated cellphone ring, sounds through the shared apt wall).
As soon as I got up and out into the living room, I could smell a strawberry scent and started feeling overcome physically, irritated eyes, nose, weakness in arms and a band of pressure from back of head (near brain stem) to nose.
This pressure increases with exposure time and quantity of the chemicals this tenant uses. My heart started to beat faster too. I’ve been nauseous for days.
Still smells like some chemical. By now; my nose is numb and I’m dizzy again.
*Seriously; what is, wrong with these people!
I forced myself to stay awake until 2am, hoping to avoid getting woke up. (Every night about this time, someone rings this guys doorbell).
As I’ve explained in previous diaries the neighbor next doors doorbell, can be heard in my apartment. It’s so loud can’t tell who’s doorbell is ringing. Mine or theirs.
I heard someone in the hall about 1:30 am.
I was waking up anyway, because I was having trouble breathing again.
Even after I wrote this diary, there was still some type of chemical odor all night.
We’ll see what happens. Because I can not go on living like this.
Although I couldn’t prove it. 5/14
Still smelling chemicals all day I was sick and dizzy. Lay down about 9:30pm. Between 10;30pm and 11:30 pm, sounds continued to come through the apt wall. First faint sound of music, then a pinging sound like someone dialing a cellphone, or a ringtone.
Finally 11:30pm, a loud bing, bing, bing, bing, noise. Like a computer booting up, real loud. Scared me awake totally.
4:45am Five minutes ago, smelled like dirty laundry in the hall. Now smells like, laundry out of the dryer. By now, it’s hard to tell, but just heard someone in the hall and smells like; the rubber, on sneakers. (could it be, dirty socks)? I don’t know. 4:55am again, definitely smells like warm clothing from the dryer now.
5:22am just heard the door. Sounded like someone went in/out, again. By now my eyes are starting to feel irritated and having trouble breathing again. 5:45am someone just went in/out again next door. Horrible fruity odor now. I knew it, my eyes were irritated and still coughing up flem. Nauseous and dizzy too now.
6:25am now a green odor. Could be this pine incense he showed me, that he said he never uses, just has out on a table,, because it smells nice, supposedly.
Whatever it was; it’s not something one would imagine.
Now; 5/15
12:41am, I, hear someone go out and in at least 2 times. Banging his door loud just now. I thought I smelled laundry. My nose and face starting to feel numb again. Dizzy, nauseous again too. Still, coughing up flem. I’ll be up for hours; after, being frightened awake.
11pm After assorted vanilla, berry, chocolate, etc, scents all day. Someone just went in. Now odor of the petro-chemical and berry. My nose started running and I started having breathing difficulties, now I smell it.
Feeling sick and overcome from whatever scented product he’s using, I went to bed 1am.
1:55am someone just rang this guy’s doorbell and scared me awake, again.
3am sounded like someone went in, out next door. Now definitely smell a petro-chemical odor.
This is why I wrote, several diaries. After the last tenant did this to me, I don’t want to immediately start complaining to management. They had to move me away from the last tenant.
This is, “the Projects.” They say, “You get, what you pay for.”
4:20am still smelling petro-chemicals.
Of course couldn’t prove it.
All my presumptions; are only conjecture, as I can’t see what he’s doing.
But I sure as heck know, when I’ve been scared awake by the sound of his doorbell and the odor of petro-chemicals and other scents, even if I can’t determine their source of origin. Candle, incense, spray, plug in, whatever, etc?
This behavior, is wrong!
I’m the only tenant, they would dare even do this to. Apparently.
Some new tenant, is living in the apartment they moved me out of and i suppose that my previous neighbor, is not doing to them, what she did to me for over 5 years.
With a Predator / Sociopath, you do not have to do anything wrong. You just have to have something they want. You then, become a target.
6:40am sounds like someone in the hall again.
Now definitely smells like clothing from the dryer.
Can’t be positive of course. There are also these scented air fresheners, that have this aroma.
As one of my old College Professors would say; this guy, next door, uses,”the velvet glove.” An iron fist, or hand, in, a velvet glove.
That doesn’t work with me. It’s very hard to fool someone with a good education and the pain in my heart is coming back again.
How to Apply for Financial Aid and Scholarships
These tenants are bad enough with their “pretending,” that they’re going to, act properly.
They go crazy all together, in retaliation, if I complain to any authority.
I’ve learned a lot; on the subject of, horrible neighbors.
Psychology Of Neighbors Bullying
Harassment; includes causing a person alarm or distress, by conduct of the alleged, person.
It’s almost impossible for landlords to do much in a situation like this, except a lengthy and costly eviction process.
I do not understand the thinking of some people.
From my vast experience in my youth; doing the wrong things, I found out, that it’s much easier, to do the right things. A lazy woman’s, credo.
What; do they think if they kill me by inches, no one will notice?
Rhetorical question; So what’s the story behind having people ring a doorbell or have a cellphone turned up to full volume, at Midnight, 1am 4am, 5am, that can be loudly heard next door? After a person (me); informed him, of this and asked him, politely, not to?
I guess; these people, just, don’t care.
Same thing; with using the candles; incense, or other, artificial air freshener products? (I can feel it physically. I can smell the chemicals In the air).
Why? When; an air purifier, does the job, way better.
The Best Way; To Clean The Air, is an Air Purifier, for Smoke.
How They Work Youtube.
Note-I read that; shouldn’t, use air purifiers with an ionizer, near a computer.
Where’s; the gain, in acting ignorant?

Vanilla, even natural, makes me feel like I’m going to pass out.
This guy next door; loves that vanilla scent. It smells like incense, but with so many of these products, hard to say what it actually is. Just know, sometimes seems chemical.
These neighbors; are not, nice people, not smart either. But I guess that’s obvious.
*When I’’m asleep; The sound of the doorbell or cellphone ringing has an electrical affect on my heart. Besides; making my entire body, jump.
When awoken by these rings, it feels as if an electrical charge is shooting through my body/chest. Very painful! Scary too. Between that and the chemicals, it’s, not, good.
Several Kossacks advised me to keep a record. So I have.
Just for example:
5/9
6pm Someone went out next door, odor of a presumed, scented candle. Got dizzy immediately, then, smelled it.
6:30pm Someone else went in/out and odor a a definite scented candle type petrol odor, again, stronger. Now I’m really getting dizzy.
-------—
5/10
2:30am someone rang doorbell next door. Scared me awake. Heart hurting.
3:40am hear someone walking in hall. Going, in/out door next door.
4:07am smells like a scented candle and I’m getting sick. Dizzy, disoriented, nauseous, weak in the extremities. Same symptoms as always.
4:54am loud noise in hall. Sounded like someone went in/ out. Whatever.
4:57am smells like a scented candle again. Thought I smelled it earlier when they woke me at 2:30am.
9:44pm Someone went in/out and overpowering odor of vanilla. Can’t identify source, but definitely smell vanilla. Intermittently thought the day, night besides other scents.
11:15pm smells like paraffin. My nose started running again too. The scented candles always make my nose run.
Was so sick and overcome by the chemicals and various chemical odors went to bed.
They’re pretending; not to; but still smells like, burning scented candles incense, or some other, petrol based air freshener product. Whatever.
How does one prove an odor?
I know he’s waking me up 2 or 3 times with loud doorbell and cellphone rings. Also sure what I smell. A little harder to explain. That’s how these people operate. “Obfuscation” is their tactic.
Meanwhile; they’re killing me and they don’t care.
5:06am now the odor of some type of chemical air freshener product is apparent. Just heard someone in hall, smelled like dirty laundry and then fresh laundry from dryer.
I wonder if they’r doing laundry? My previous neighbor, seemed to be, doing laundry every night, from midnight to 4 am.
I really don’t know. But do know that it’s dangerous to do laundry late at night and not be there, with it either.
I would think that there is some mandatory time when the laundry room would close, for fire safety reasons. Fire Safety Awareness
Where can they be going in and out in the middle of the night. In the middle of the woods? No stores, nothing open around here.
I can’t breath! Every day; I’m feeling totally chemically overcome again and sick.
So this guy does not care at all. Or he wouldn’t be continuing, this behavior.
Now; “pretending,” he isn’t.” But I can still smell the chemicals. My eyes start watering and my nose starts running, every time. Then I start feeling chemically intoxicated and have trouble breathing.
That’s the problem. The chemicals and they reek. Paraffin stinks!
5/10
3:40pm Smells like some petrol product. Candle, plug in, etc.
4pm odor of vanilla and sound of someone going out next door.
5:05pm am totally overcome by some chemical fumes. By now, I’m starting to shake. I thought I smelled a candle like odor, when I got up.
9:43pm odor of vanilla again. Now the odor of some chemical/candle, plug in, etc.
I’m still coughing up flem too. Definite symptoms, same as I had in other apt when other tenant was using scented candles.
There are many types of these scented air freshener products. Including one candle that’s called a “smoker’s candle.”
11:30pm some berry odor, sound of someone going in/out next door, then vanilla odor and chemical odor too.
5/11
12:15am sound of a cellphone through the bedroom wall woke me. Managed to go back to sleep, heart racing a little.
Throat full of flem and having trouble breathing again.
Aprox 3am cellphone/noise, again woke me.
6am, noise woke me again.
As soon as I came out into the living room, could smell the chemicals.
6:42am someone went out, or in? next door. Now I can definitely smell something chemical and am starting to feel overcome. First my eyes were burning. Now my arms are starting to feel weak, my nose started running and getting dizzy. In a couple of hours, I will be totally overcome and sick again.
7:53am definite “petrol” based air freshener odor. Now apparent. Slight hint of vanilla.
2pm still the odor of some petro-chemical, (lingering?). I know, could smell it, irritated eyes, still can’t breath, etc. Now 3:50pm vanilla odor again. Feel disoriented, dizzy, weakness in the arms. Same symptoms as always.
I can’t take much more of this stench. Imagine a vanilla scented, or eye burning chemical odor, all day and all night. The vanilla scent, is so horrible. Makes me light headed, dizzy, weak.
Although these neighbors have been a great study; in, “deviant psychology,” I cannot, take any more physically.
The shaking, nausea, dizziness, nervousness and pain in my heart, is not, something I can ignore. Especially, that heart pain.
I’ve met the worst murders, in my life. No exaggeration.
But at least; they had some reasons, why they were, the way they were.
These people have no excuse for being bstrds.
They’ve had great lives. Being; about 70yrs old, they grew up and lived in prosperous times. In a small, rural, Hippie town, free of crime. Had good educations, jobs, everything, so many people, wish they had.
But they’re, still bstrds. No, fkng excuse!
Now; they’re living in a beautiful, “Garden Apartment,” with a huge, grassy backyard, parking and a laundry room. (no doubt HUD, subsidized cost, too) $1 a machine vs $2.50 at the laundromat.
Since it’s low-income housing, the most any of them pay for rent, couldn’t be more than $200 a month.
I pay $133. One reason why; thanks to Kossacks help, (telling me about vaporizers), I totally complied, with the new no smoking rules.
I’ve been trying to quit smoking for over 20 years anyway.
I’ve saved over $15,000 in the past three years, vaporizing.
A 5oz canister of loose tobacco costs $35 a month, compared to $500 a month for factory manufactured cigarettes.
Worked for me. I’m down to the amount of tobacco in about five cigarettes a day. Was smoking, 2 and ½ packs a day.
If these people; don’t, want to be good neighbors, they should go live in a dump, where everyone parties all night and pay minimum, $600 a month rent.
5/12 After being bombarded with various chemical scents all night, nauseous and dizzy I went to bed at 12am.
2am; someone, just went in next door. Scared me awake, ringing his doorbell, (my heart racing). 3:21am feeling overcome by some chemical substance. Can’t breath, feel chemically intoxicated, weakness in the arms, disoriented, dizzy, etc. Starting to get that “clinically depressed,” feeling again past few days also. 3:32am now smells like this chemical, “chocolate,” scented incense.
4am someone just went in and out next door, loudly, 2 more times.
Now definitely smell that chemical smelling chocolate. I saw incense like that in the local Head Shop. Tried it, years ago. Even when I still smoked and couldn’t really smell stuff good. I didn’t like it.
I know what incense smells like. I used it, before the buildings went smoke free. As soon as the Manager told me not to; I, stopped, immediately.
4:17am in and out loudly, again.
4:42am and someone just went in again and it smells like warm laundry from the dryer. Laundry room should be closed at this time of night.
Like I said, a very small hall (aprox 2ftx2ft). Door, not, airtight. I can hear them walking and his door makes a loud clicking sound when closed.
How could Management; smell if people were smoking, from the hallway, if the doors were airtight?
Tobacco odors dissipate fast, but they couldn’t miss these candle odors.These chemicals, last for hours.
With other neighbor, the chemical air freshener odors were apparent, 24/7. That’s how she got caught. She was in your face, didn’t care, crazy, obvious.
This guy is smart enough to be sneaky. But not smart enough to stop?
Sounds like someone went in, out, at least 6, or more times, since he woke me at 2am.
1:40pm someone just went out/in? next door. Apparent petrol-odor. Smells like, a scented candle. It just permeated my living room, as my heart beat sped up a little. Still have s chest full of flem and having trouble breathing.
2:52pm now, nauseous, weak, dizzy, and generally sick feeling, again.
*The nerve of some people, never ends either. Other day; my doorbell rang, about 7:30pm. Who is it; but the guy next door. His reason; my videos were loud, for 2 minutes.
I swear, 2 minutes. I was composing a blog. The videos were loud, as I clicked on them, while, embedding and testing. I was just about to adjust the volume, when he knocked.
Ok; after a short conversation in which i mentioned how i could hear his doorbell late at night, 2am, etc. I thought; maybe he’s come to his senses.
Guess not. As soon as his door closed, I started smelling what smelled like incense. But at least it wasn’t vanilla so I unscheduled this diary.
By 10:30pm, totally sick again from whatever chemicals he’s using over there.
I had to lie down. I fell asleep.
Between aprox 11pm and 12:30am.
Again, even after our conversation about how thin the walls really are here, tonight; this guy had whomever goes in and out over there, call him on a cellphone instead of ring his doorbell.
A weird, tweet, twweet, tweettt. Sounded like a whistle too. Totally scary to get woken with. Four times, in an hour and ½?
The first time it was low; almost didn’t hear it, but just did.
Second time low, too, but louder.
Then it got even, louder the third time.
Fourth time was really loud, scared me awake totally?????
I awoke shaking; with my heart racing, the pain in my heart again.
I conjectured; perhaps, this guy, misunderstood.
Still; I had hope. I’m so naive.
Then immediately; as soon as I got up, I knew I’m smelling some chemicals.
Candle, sprays, incense?
Now a candle like air freshener with the paraffin odor is back and apparent.
It’s Friday night 1:30am. No Managers around till Monday. Someone just went in or out I heard them.
1:43am heard someone in the hall again. 2:05am just heard a loud click. Sounded like direction of his door, again. 2:21am, loud click, his door, again. 2:43am, loud click. Sounds like his door again.
No one, should have to live like this! So I re-scheduled this diary.
5/14
8pm Someone just went in and out next door again. Twice. Now odor of dirty laundry and poorly bagged garbage. My eyes are starting to feel irritated and breathing difficulties, all of a sudden really dizzy and chemically overcome feeling, again. Guess; guy next door, saw my diary.
5/17 Between 1am and 5am (probably at 3:30am as usual), someone rang this guy next door’s doorbell. So loud my whole body jumped and i almost fell out of bed. Finally woke me at 5:25am. I’m still shaking, an hour later. Smells like; a petrol chemical of some sort, again.
He; like my previous neighbor also, has people coming in at 6am, 7am, 8am, every morning,
I know, they ring his doorbell and my body jumps in my sleep.
It must be; another coffee klatch, group,
The similarities between these two neighbors is almost suspicious.
Except I know; for a fact, there was only this, apartment available.
I couldn’t stay in that other apartment.
Two more weeks; I would have been dead from that woman’s, excessive use, of chemical air freshener cover ups. I know; she’s, a smoker. I saw her, out back years ago, smoking.
It hasn’t been much better here. Guess the bldg Owner; didn’t know that this tenant (next door), is, the way he is. This guy/neighbor, pretends to be a Hippie. Only, when things go, his way.
Now that HUD has gone smoke free, its a big deal to say this guy’s burning scented candles, incense, smoking etc, He implied, that he’ll threaten me with some type of slander if I complain. Because of course, how does one prove an odor, or, random, 10 second, sounds?
My lease clearly states; “Tenants are encouraged to report other tenants committing lease violations.” So; I’m not a Lawyer, but.
I read it, at least 5 times. The Managers kept telling me, read your lease, when they were chasing me for smoking 3yrs ago. So I did.
HUD’s new non smoking “Rules,” state; that. PHA Public Housing Authority, Owners, Landlords; enforce the new No Smoking Rule(s), as, a lease violation.”
Besides it’s all true. Why would I bother to take the time to keep writing these diaries, if it wasn’t.
I have much more important issues, I need to be focusing on.
Another reason I don’t like these people/neighbors, they’re, “time wasters.” IMO, like non voters, they a negative drain, on us all.
Thing is, I don’t want to start a riot. Or I would just e-mail the Owner. I know him now as I’ve explained in my other diaries. Then this neighbor next door, would definitely, kill me with chemicals and noise. Like the other woman did. But; again, like her, he’s doing it, anyway.
*So; I’m waiting, a while, to see if this guy next door, decides it’s in his best interests, to stop with these, harmful, activities.
I can always, contact the Owner.
The Owner likes me. I’m one person he can be sure; is no longer smoking, in his apartment, or on the premises.
I don’t even have a cigarette. I haven’t bought a pack of cigarettes in over, at least 3 years.
If I have to go out away from my vaporizer (*it’s a plug in type), I just hand roll a few. I’ve cut way back on them too.
Since it’s a blanket of snow, here all winter I don’t go out that much.
A couple of months ago, when out, I would smoke 10 of the hand rolled cigarettes in several hours. Last couple of times I went out; I only smoked 3, then only 2. I was amazed.
My apartment buildings going smoke-free worked for me. But, only because I seriously wanted to cut back, hopefully quit my smoking.
We have a brand new Manager. I don’t want to put him in the middle of this.
My neighbors like these two; they don’t care for anyone, except themselves.
This has to stop!
No one should have to live with being awakened minimum, 3 times a night, and this guy’s chemicals and other assorted stink! My lease agrees with me.
Four years of being literally poisoned, by my last neighbor, was quite enough for me!
This guy (my new neighbor), underestimates the power of the 1st amendment and the Press.
I’ll take my chances; that as long as I don’t identify him, he can’t do a thing about my blogging.
By his behavior so far; apparently this guy figured he was going to walk all over me. He and that other tenant, don’t know me.
I’d never let him abuse me, just because the rent is so cheap here.
I don’t sell my Liberty; cheap, or for any amount!
I’m from New Jersey; the cradle of, the Revolutionary War!
I swear that’s all I remember learning in grammar school. About, the Revolutionary war.
Also; some English, literature, mostly reading, (I read, the Iliad and the Odyssey, hardcover, in the 5th grade) and Math (algebra, again, 5th grade) and horrible PE classes, where they used to make us climb ropes.
It was called, a “progressive school.” In, Brick NJ. 1960.
This new neighbor; didn’t know, I have Kossack friends. He should have, after my interactions, with that other neighbor.
Many people in the town where I live, don’t really know me personally. I’m only here, about 10 years.
Would think they should by now. Although; I’m very quiet. I don’t start telling people my life story. As always; I’ve found, many friends.
It’s real rural here. Unlike where I grew up, where, there’s a bus on every corner and I could go anywhere.
Everywhere I would go; I couldn’t walk down the street, without 10 people stopping me to talk. Even people, I didn’t know.
That’s My “Gift.” People Love Me.
Except, the bad ones. Most of them; take a dislike, to me, immediately.
